Is Ashtanga yoga suitable for women to practice?
It is wrong to say that yoga is not very suitable for women to practice. That is sexism in ancient India, where men dominate everything.
Women are just accessories. Although the times are advancing, there are still differences in the status of men and women in India to some extent. Even so, there are now roughly equal numbers of men and women practicing yoga in India.
Yoga originated in India, but it has developed and flourished in the West. In developed countries in the West, yoga has progressed more meticulously and more humanly. It is the most popular and effective fitness method among the public (including men and women). Among yoga practitioners in the West, women still outnumber men. There are more women than men, with about 70% women and 30% men. Even power-type yoga such as Ashtanga Yoga is practiced by more women, with women accounting for about 60% and men accounting for 40%.
Someone asked David. Swenson: Atanga yoga can help men strengthen their bodies, but will such practice make female practitioners lose their femininity? David said: Ashtanga yoga is not used to create large muscle masses. It can give you a body shape similar to a dancer, because practitioners of Ashtanga yoga will have slender and flexible muscle tissue like a cat. Therefore, it is a universal body beauty method for men and women.
I also like Ashtanga Yoga very much and have been practicing daily for 5 years. Since Ashtanga yoga is a power-type exercise that is very effective in improving physical strength, there are many exercises for arm strength. I remember that my arms were thinner before, but I prefer my arms now. I can vaguely see some muscle lines, but by no means exaggerate, I think it looks very sunny. My foreign friends are very envious. In the West, it is very "sexy" to have muscular lines in the arms. I also know that some women's arms have become thinner after practicing astanga yoga because the former fat is removed and these muscles will never sag. Just look at Madonna, haha...
Ashtanga yoga improves my physical strength and concentration, allows me to increase my life efficiency, and improves my sleep... As long as you make up your mind to practice, there are many benefits.
Many people are addicted to practicing astanga yoga because it allows you to comprehensively and effectively improve your practice level. Progress and challenges attract you to persist in practicing and break through your existing level step by step.
At the same time, Ashtanga yoga is also a real effort, which cannot be mixed with fake work. It is the crystallization of sweat and perseverance
Ashtanga yoga practice is a perfect combination of strength and flexibility, and has shocking charm, which is why it can make many practitioners excel and become famous all over the world
