Understanding of the precise understanding of the postures and practice

In September and October, I participated in Teacher Ye Jia's precise asana practice classes for many consecutive days. It was like tasting a delicious meal. Every time I thought about it, I had endless aftershocks and deep insights.

Teacher Ye Jia adheres to the teachings of Ai Yangge's personal disciple, Master Zubin,"Yoga is Yoga! The characteristic of Iyengar Yoga is to use some auxiliary tools based on the progress of the times to make postures more scientific, avoid injuries, and achieve better and faster results."Under the personal guidance of Master Zubin, after a long period of practice, I deeply understand the essence and connotation of Iyengar Yoga, master the accuracy of each basic pose practice, and teach it to us, so that I can gain a rich harvest in this golden autumn season.

Yoga poses are part of Hata Yoga. The purpose of practicing is to allow the body to sit down comfortably and firmly and enter meditation. For the four words "comfort" and "stability", our practice of the formula must go deep into every hand and every gesture, and carefully explore the strength direction of every joint and body of the body. Understand the structure of the body and obtain a safe and healthy practice method.

Asana practice is divided into standing pose, forward bend pose, back bend pose, lateral bend pose, twist pose and inverted pose. Precise asana practice is to break down and analyze the process steps of these asana practice one by one, and according to each individual's individual body characteristics, use auxiliary tools to practice every movement accurately and standard, so that the most basic asana can be exquisite, refined and precise. When you find the feeling of practicing the basic asana accurately, Practicing other poses by analogy can also achieve comfort and stability.

What is very interesting is that this precise practice of postures does not involve the teacher shouting the command and the students lining up to do the exercises in a neat manner. Instead, the teacher has an understanding of each student's body structure and provides targeted guidance on the practice of each postures, so that the practice process of students is as if they have personally participated in an operation, have a further understanding of the body structure, and understand the precautions and essentials that they need to master when practicing.

The practice of refining asanas taught me to abandon the flashy surface of asanas, not blindly pursue the ultimate difficulty of asanas, patiently disassemble asanas one by one, make every link accurate, and deepen the process of making asanas. experience. From the opening, stretching or twisting of each joint, I experience the heat burning from the bones, tightening the loose body, evaporating excess water, and lifting energy from the spine, making people feel like after bathing. It's refreshing but not tired. When the course ended and I walked out of the classroom, I felt that I was no longer a graceful woman, but like a soldier who was about to go out on an expedition, with a loud footsteps.

Now, a few basic refinement exercises are added almost every morning. When it takes forty to fifty breaths, I feel that my legs are no longer made of muscles and bones, but a hot iron bar standing there. Hehe, when I stand at work and wait for a bus on the subway, the force of my legs stepping on the ground is firmly stuck there like a tree root-I feel good about myself. (Internship Editor: Wu Jinyu)
