What is yoga?
Yoga, which originated in ancient India, is one of the six philosophical schools in ancient India, exploring the truth and method of "the unity of the Vatican and the self". What modern people call yoga is mainly a series of methods of self-cultivation and mental cultivation.
Yoga is divided into two categories: classical yoga, modern yoga, and now positive yoga.
Yoga posture uses ancient and easy-to-master skills to improve people's physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual ability. it is a way of exercise to achieve the harmony of body, mind and spirit. including posture, breath, meditation, etc., in order to achieve the unity of body and mind.
To put it simply, yoga is a dynamic exercise in physiology and a practice in mind, which controls the body by combining the senses, the body and conscious breathing. These techniques are not only good for muscle and bone exercise, but also strengthen the function of the nervous system, endocrine glands and major organs, and promote health by stimulating the body's potential energy.
The state of the body's nervous system, endocrine glands and major organs determines a person's health. Regular yoga practice helps to relieve mental stress and physical decline caused by neglect of physical health or early aging. Therefore, practicing yoga can maintain vitality and make your mind clear.
Yoga includes stretching, strength, endurance and cardiopulmonary exercises, promotes physical health, has the function of coordinating the whole body, and learning how to make the body work healthily also increases the vitality of the body. In addition, the cultivation of spiritual harmony and emotional stability also guides you to improve your physical, emotional, psychological and mental state, so that your body is balanced and healthy.
To put it simply, yoga is one breath after another.
Everyone has different interpretations of yoga.
Everyone has his own city.
Different people live in each city.
Which way did you choose?
There is no difference between right and wrong.
The night running you fell in love with
Her favorite yoga.
He likes to work out.
You like to sit still.
It's all the natural way for you and me.
Everyone is practicing their own yoga.
This yoga follows the genre and style.
It has nothing to do with the place and the teacher.
Practice is unique after all.
From the fact that you are unique.
We all learn to imitate.
But the practice will eventually merge with itself.
Same practice, same password, same asana.
That's not the only thing we're going to experience.
The mysteries of yoga practice
It's you and me in the same move.
Find a different taste
You think it's out of reach.
Others do whatever they want.
He felt that he had nothing to love.
It takes no effort for you to get it easily.
And we all practice yoga.
Everyone has his own hole.
Everyone has their own stunts.
We're just exploring the process.
I found the key to unlock it.
You get advanced skills.
Maybe he seems to have nothing to do with it.
But the vastness of the inside is buried deep in the limbs.
We need to get through this muscle.
Practice the strength of humility and meekness
Be free and free
It is the practice of their own practice.
Yoga is like this, and so is life.
You can imitate, but in the final analysis, you have to face your own world.
Maybe that's another reason why I like yoga.
"see the essence of life through yoga, the essence of all things."
Xiao Jia has seen the difficult yoga poses made by Indian yoga masters. Almost every action challenges the limits of human body softness. Many people do not understand the world of yoga people and twist their bodies into various shapes. Whether it is challenging the human limit or explaining to everyone what is the real yoga exercise. I believe that we practice yoga not to break through the limit of physical softness, but only to exercise and enhance softness and coordination. Today's asana can better strengthen the torsion and softness of the body. after all, yoga is not only to strengthen the softness of the body, but also to relax the body and mind.
Pose 1: standing flexion and extension variant
1. Stand up and do mountain yoga poses. Keep your body straight and extend upward. Put your arms on both sides of your body and look ahead.
2. Stretch your arms forward, bend forward, keep your legs apart for shoulder width, keep your upper torso close to your legs and your forehead close to your legs.
3. Keep your upper body back, keep your legs straight, put your shoulders back on the back of your knees, bend your hands back, hold your legs, and hold each other behind your back.
4. Hold this position for a few minutes, then return to the mountain stand.
Pose 2: sitting angle
1. Squat on the yoga mat, bend your knees with your legs together, lean your upper body forward and keep your legs close to each other, keep your head straight and put your arms on both sides of your body.

Pose 3: strengthen leg stretching

In fact, the twist is not as difficult as people think. You can stretch more muscles and bones before practicing yoga asana, so that you can easily do difficult movements when practicing yoga.I believe that the original intention of practicing yoga is not to reach the level of yoga masters, but more for self-cultivation and self-cultivation.No matter what the purpose is, I hope everyone can keep practicing yoga and get growth and change from yoga. All right, let's clock in and practice yoga with Xiaoga.
What is yoga?
The master will tell you: yoga is the connection, the unity of the Vatican and the self. Beginners will tell you: yoga is fitness, is exercise, yoga can shape and lose weight. Some people will tell you that yoga is stretching. Everyone has a different yoga in mind.
What is yoga? For me, it's changing all the time.
In the first yoga theory class, the teacher told me that yoga is a connection, and the ultimate goal is to achieve the unity of the Vatican and the self. I wonder if yoga is theology, just like becoming a Buddha and practicing immortals in China.
With my own practice, I feel that yoga is a kind of balance. This balance covers all aspects.
In terms of yoga asana: the balance of physical strength and flexibility. Stable and flexible balance of joints. The balance on both sides of the body.
From my heart: yearning for advanced asana and practicing the balance of basic asana year after year can also be said to be a balance between ideal and reality.
Now it is found that yoga is a way of life. You will bring everything from your yoga class, consciously and unconsciously, to your life. It is an imperceptible influence, just as if you stay in an environment for a long time, you will become a part of the environment.
In terms of posture: sitting, standing, walking, and even lying down will pay attention to posture and maintain a positive, healthy and balanced posture. This is why many people say that people who practice yoga look different from others. Among other things, her requirements for posture are subconsciously engraved in her mind.
From the bottom of your heart: you will use yoga to deal with people and deal with others. Let me give you a few examples.
1. "stretch gently at the edge of the body, do asanas within your ability, do what you can, and don't pull hard." I'm sure you've all heard this sentence. In life is to try our best to do one thing, to do well every step, but the result is not forced. If you succeed, be grateful; if you fail, sum up the experience and continue next time. Don't ask, don't be discouraged.
2. "everyone's body is different, do not compare, do not force themselves to complete postures that cannot be completed temporarily, and accept themselves." You should have heard this sentence. It is the same in life, accept your shortcomings, strive to change your shortcomings, and enjoy the process of changing them. Be open to your flawed self. Not only to yourself, to your family, to your friends, to your children.
3. "when a pose cannot be completed, we can use aids. Using a compound tool does not mean that we cannot do it, but only for a better understanding of the pose." It's the same in life. I don't think I need to explain this.
4 "pay attention to breathing and body when keeping asana." The same is true in life, when doing anything, focus on what you are doing, do not think about it, you will find that the world is very simple.I think if you figure this out, you won't have insomnia. Why do you have insomnia? You think too much when it's time to go to bed. You forget that your task now is to sleep.
For now, yoga is life for me. The wisdom of yoga is the wisdom of life. Live with the wisdom and way of thinking of yoga, you will find that life is very simple, very happy, easy to be satisfied, but we are also positive, motivated, hard, not afraid to pay sweat.
You can have a try. The next time you face difficulties in life, when you can't control your emotions, when your business is bad, when you're lovelorn, when you encounter setbacks, or when you get carried away, think of the breathing, patience, tolerance, and relaxation on the yoga mat. You will suddenly feel relaxed.
Pay attention to Fanyi and share health and beauty.
Before I finished writing and publishing, I habitually looked at an article to see if there were any typos and sentence inconsistencies, and suddenly found that if one day I stopped writing yoga, it would be very fresh to write chicken soup.
