Netizen experience: Why do we practice yoga

◆ Fan Wenying female, 28-year-old department manager of a foreign company has practiced yoga for half a year

I started practicing yoga to treat insomnia. Because work pressure is too great, as long as you lie in bed, work matters will be in your mind and you can't get rid of it. My friend suggested that I try yoga. I learned it a few times from the coach, and then bought a Whelan Yoga VCD. I practiced it for a while every night, and the results were particularly good. In fact, I don't think I practice yoga to treat insomnia, but after practicing, I feel calm and can control myself not to think about messy things, so I naturally fall asleep. The unexpected reward of practicing yoga is that I am now in a particularly good working state. In addition to having enough rest, I seem to know what I need and my abilities. It's okay to strive to do everything well, instead of being complacent when things go well and blaming others when encountering difficulties. I now practice for half an hour every morning and night. If I don't practice, my whole body will feel awkward.

I never thought I could practice yoga. I have been working out in a fitness center. Recently, the yoga class offered by my Paolai Fitness Center has training for men to relax muscles, and some stretching is to help train muscle lines. I try to go to yoga classes after I finish my strength. To be honest, there were girls in the room, and I was a little embarrassed at first. But the beautiful coach took special care of me and reminded men what they should do when doing every move. Gradually, I was not the only man. In fact, in foreign countries, many men practice yoga, and most of the masters are men. I don't want to practice like that. But after practicing yoga, I really feel that my physical strength recovers very quickly and there is almost no fatigue. So, I will continue to practice with the beautiful female coach.

◆ Liu Yueyue, female, 31-year-old clerk, practiced yoga for 1 month

This summer, I suddenly panicked. Although I can also wear last year's summer clothes, I feel completely different, as if it is not my own clothes. I used to have thin calves, and I have always been proud of it, but now I put on a skirt, my calves in the mirror seem to be swollen. For the first time, I truly felt that time was not forgiving. What to do! But if I want to go to the gym, whenever I think of jumping around or fighting fiercely, I feel resistant. Is my heart getting old? But I still got a membership card to the fitness center. After all, I can't let my figure get out of shape. Among all the courses, I like yoga best and the yoga teacher's figure. I seem to see my hope. Now I promise to take yoga classes twice a week, and I feel much more flexible and no longer feel lazy. I believe yoga will ensure that I no longer panic because of my age.
