Yoga is willing to grow up. Will yoga really get younger?
Does yoga really make you younger?
I am 45 years old and have been practicing yoga for almost a year. I began to take private classes with friends of yoga instructors in January 2021. There is no way to do it from the beginning of the dog style, and now it can fully achieve the corner style, wheel style, one-word horse. I have two classes a week and practice my basic skills at home the rest of the time. The one who feels the most:
First, a lot of peace of mind, not impatient, and adolescent children can get along peacefully. This peaceful state is brought about by breathing and rest before each yoga practice.
Second, effectively corrected their pelvic tilt, abdominal protruding problems, due to poor posture caused by low back pain is also solved. This is the happiest harvest for me!
Third, people in middle age, in addition to their own job to take care of the family, but also found another point of interest and willing to adhere to, let me feel the richness of life, but also found some sense of achievement.
Practicing yoga can make people mentally happy and confident, but it is not advisable to persist in fishing for three days and drying the net for two days for a long time, and that will not have any effect. I insist on practicing yoga, that is, I feel strong on two legs, can climb mountains and walk a long way. This is the advantage of practicing yoga. I didn't have this kind of experience before practicing. I started practicing yoga in November 2017, and I have to stick to it in order to have a good body. I practiced in the gym, this is a very good fitness exercise, but you have to act according to your ability, can not exceed the limits of your body.
I think I can get younger, or at least get older more slowly. Many of the aunts who practice yoga with me are 60 years old and their bodies are completely different from those of their peers. I have also practiced yoga for several years, and I like it very much. I hold on for an hour every day, and every time I unlock a new pose, I am super happy, like solving a difficult math problem. Of course, hard work will also pay off, a good figure, A4 waist, vest line, as long as you work hard, there will be.
I have been practicing since 2009. When I went out to take pictures with my friends on May Day in 10 years, I felt that my posture and temperament had changed. Especially 14 years later, because I had almost finished the certificate test, I had more time. Originally, I was given an unlimited number of quarterly cards when I renewed my card twice a week. I also ran a small class to get more detailed advice. I went there frequently and found the door to the new world all at once. Physical flexibility is much better, the most important thing is the spiritual level, become calm and confident. Yoga and reading, as well as travel, are my favorite.
There is a saying that health care products look old if they are not worn, but they will always be the same if they are used. I think yoga has made me grow against it. I am in better shape than I was ten years ago and like my present posture. I studied Iyengar yoga, which has the effect of physiotherapy and pays attention to precision. I like it more and more. Now I can practice six times a week. I used to be a teacher. Now I want to lay a solid foundation. I now have a job. I will consider taking classes in my spare time or after retirement. My teachers are all Iyengar certified teachers or senior Iyengar TTC teachers. I often share my practice experience and some details after evening class. It is recommended that everyone go to the physical store to learn yoga, the novice must not face the video, the scene can directly feel the subtle changes of muscles and bones, and the teacher will guide the scene according to the situation, the video can only learn the shape, not the essence.
I don't know if you have a professional yoga studio? You can go and experience it before you decide. I still recommend Iyengar.
I have been practicing yoga for eight years. When I was 40 years old, when my son was in junior high school, I ran a class to practice with the teacher while he was making up lessons in the evening. At first, I wanted to lose weight, but in practice, I found that through the connection of yoga, I found the connection between body and mind, and I paid more attention to my body. I found that my heart had never cared about my body before, and my heart often thought about other people's things. Since then, I often buy some yoga books to read. My temper is much better than before, and my body feels much more transparent. Appearance is also better, peace of mind, will no longer pay attention to their own outside, more is to explore their own inside. Later, I signed up for the Ashtanga Yoga coaching class, and I still get up early every day to practice yoga. Yoga has been integrated into my life and will always accompany me to grow old.
How do you solve the problems in yoga practice?
First of all, it needs to be explained that there are all kinds of problems encountered in practicing yoga.
In the process of practicing yoga, everyone will encounter some problems that bother them.
In fact, it can be divided into the following aspects:
1. Lack of theoretical basis.
Many people begin to practice yoga with big classes in software, videos and gyms.
This kind of situation is often taught and explained, and the person who leads the practice cannot accurately and carefully understand everyone's situation.
Can only give a general description of the matters that need to be paid attention to, without focusing on
There is no way to take good care of the feelings of every student.
The result is that the understanding of yoga depends only on what the asana looks like, not on a deeper level.
2. The physical fitness does not match the difficulty of practice.
In the process of practicing yoga, many people go back to look at the asana and state of the people around them.
When you see a master next to you, you will worship in your heart, and then when you practice, you will deepen, deepen, persist and persist.
However, if the result is light, the physical strength will be weak, and the following exercises will not be able to continue. If the result is serious, it will lead to compensation and injury.
Because when forcing the body to reach a depth beyond its own limit, it will be impossible to estimate the correctness, and other aspects of compensation will be used to deepen the asana.
3. Lack of physical awareness
In the process of practicing yoga, including me, I feel really super simple when I watch the teacher practice.
When I really went to practice by myself, I thought I was as good and perfect as the teacher.
Often the result is not satisfactory, not hard, but unable to control their own body to accurately achieve the most correct appearance.
For example, the teacher's handstand is straight and stable; his own handstand is like an unknown object stuck on the wall.
So, how to solve these problems?
1. Lack of theory.
Give me an example of yourself:
I've been practicing yoga for a long time. I've been practicing yoga for almost nine years now, but I didn't start a teaching class until December 18.
On the one hand, it is because the practice is not frequent enough; on the other hand, with the deepening of the practice, I find that when I practice again, I don't know how to do it in many details.
The more I practiced, the more confused I became, so I came up with the idea of going to a yoga training class, which was successfully implemented.
So
- The easiest way to realize that your theory is missing is to go to a training class.
- The second is to find a large number of professional materials, to explore and understand.
2. The physical fitness does not match the difficulty of practice.
The question is simple and needs to be done in two ways:
- When practicing yoga, focus on your own state.
Practicing yoga is a communication and dialogue between body and soul, and you should focus on your own state.
The perception and experience of the body, and find the right depth of asana.
With breathing, let the soul keep talking with the body, learn more about your body and relax your soul.
- Accept your imperfections.
Everyone is not born perfect, so there is no one who is perfect in everything.
And as an individual among all living beings, he is doomed to grow up with his own imperfections.
Only accept that you are not perfect and have a good evaluation of yourself.
In order to temper themselves in the follow-up exercises and tend to be perfect.
Let me give you another example:
When the monkey-like attempt was made for the first time, the back legs were completely unable to get close to the ground and poked on the mat like an extremely hard steel bar, preventing the asana from deepening.
After a period of daily practice of sun worship, demigod monkeys and other tips, the occasional attempt went a little deeper.
3. Lack of physical awareness
- There is no other way except a lot of practice.
When practicing, you can't be stable, so start with the basic stability tips and practice over and over again.
Practice day by day, although I don't feel very effective.
Then stick to it and try again in half a month. Progress is always going on quietly in every repeated exercise.
And we also need to work hard to practice, to precipitate, so that progress a certain amount of room for progress and show.
