Tip: How to get out of the misunderstanding of yoga practice

Yoga is already a compulsory course for many girls. Its popularity stems from its efficacy. It can reduce pressure, shape body, regulate endocrine, etc. However, if you are eager for quick success and pursue the perfection you want in a short period of time, it is easy to go into the wrong direction and you will be hurt by yoga if you are not careful. The coordination of breathing and movement requires more practice to hold behind the palm

Myth 1: Breathe deliberately

Breathing runs through the entire yoga exercise. When it comes to breathing, the human brain becomes subconsciously tense, making it difficult to breathe freely.

Solution: Practice more. Breathing can be practiced. Control your thoughts slowly and don't imply that you breathe deliberately. Slowly restore the breathing in your subconscious mind to a free and natural state, coordinate your breathing with many movements of your body, and drive the movements to move through every form. Don't be impatient when practicing yoga movements

Myth 2: Force yourself to exercise

If you don't have physical conditions, force yourself to do movements that you can't achieve at present, causing your back pain and pain, or even falling and spraining.

Solution: Master the rhythm of the exercise. Many movements in yoga take a long time to do, and some movements are even beyond ordinary people's ability to achieve. Just do your best. Exercise appropriately according to your physical conditions and maintain a calm mind. This way, not only will you not be easily injured, but you can also feel the joy of stretching your body and mind more deeply. Practicing yoga should be a comfortable process

Myth 3: Disrespecting self-feelings

The process of practicing yoga should be a process that makes you very relaxed and comfortable. But during practice, you find yourself feeling very uncomfortable, either your neck is tight or your chest is stuffy...

Solution:

Self-respect. One of the important points in doing yoga is to learn to respect yourself. When you feel uncomfortable, it is best to stop immediately and adjust and think about why you feel uncomfortable. Neck tension may be caused by hands not lying flat, chest tightness may be caused by breathing not coordinated with exercise, etc. In short, you must respect your feelings. Your movements may not be very standardized, but you must make yourself feel comfortable. Doing yoga is about enjoyment rather than competition

Myth 4: Care too much about the perfection of the movements

Yoga can make form and behavior beautiful. So you imitate every move carefully and hope to do it as well as the coach. But after one class, you find yourself exhausted and have no happiness at all.

Solution:

Yoga is not a "competitive" exercise."Enjoy happiness and do your best" is the best state. It is difficult to truly experience spiritual happiness by deliberately pursuing perfection. The beauty of yoga is slowly achieved through long-term cultivation. It is a kind of beauty from the inside out. As long as you complete the basic movements in a coordinated and comfortable state of your body, you will achieve almost the same effect as standard movements. Yoga is not suitable for everyone

Please note:

1. Any fitness method will cause exercise injuries, even yoga practices that people think have a high safety factor are no exception. Many people, especially beginners, have experienced bad feelings such as joint sprain, muscle strain, or headache, dizziness, nausea to varying degrees when practicing yoga due to various reasons. At this time, they need to stop and summarize whether they have gone astray and gradually adjusted themselves.

2. Know how to recognize the signs of injury in the body while practicing yoga: First of all, after a yoga class, you should have a good feeling of unity between your body and mind. If only one part of your body feels good-for example, you sweat a lot and the tension is gone, but you feel a headache or sore wrist, or your heart is beating too fast-that's a sign of injury. Second, always ask your body: "Have I exceeded my limits? Does your body feel unbearable pain after being stretched?"or" Do I always have this sore feeling?" and other questions. If the answer is yes, you really need to take a safer basic course.

3. There are four types of people who are not suitable for practicing yoga: first, patients with osteoporosis; second, patients with neurological diseases; third, patients with herniated disc;

4. Patients with joint tissue problems are more vulnerable to "yoga injuries", which can endanger their lives in severe cases. (Internship Editor: Wu Jinyu)
