This is high-temperature thermal yoga. The training venue for high-temperature yoga requires a certain high temperature-about-42 ° C. The purpose is to allow the internal tissues and lymph glands of the whole body to be stimulated at high temperatures, rebalance the body's natural chemistry and hormone standards, and thereby adjust the body's internal and external functions, which are lacking in ordinary yoga. Moreover, the choreography of high-temperature yoga is basically a fixed 26 movements, which is different from the random combination movements of ordinary yoga.

Can one practice yoga alone at home?

Why does my neck always hurt every time I do sit-ups?

The correct way to exercise abdominal muscles is to "roll your abdomen". Lie flat on the mat, bend your legs at 90 degrees and step your feet flat on the ground. Abdomen your abdomen, and pay attention to crossing your hands in front of your chest rather than behind your head! Lower your chin slightly, slowly tighten your abdominal muscles, remove your back from the cushion to control it and restore it. Pay attention to the lumbar spine not to leave the cushion, just leave the middle and upper back off the cushion, which is like a "halfway" sit-up action. "Abdominal rolling" allows the entire trunk to flex and extend, which not only protects the cervical spine, but also exercises the abdominal muscles in relatively isolation.

Really good idea
