Invited senior yoga expert-Teacher Wang Yuan from Tiandi Xinyun Wang Yuan Yoga Studio to appear on the scene to comment. Have you ever had the same question?

LINAN

Purpose of practicing yoga: Lose at least 5kg

Original weight: 48 kg

Time to practice yoga: 2 months

Current weight: 50 kg

Question 1:"Every time I am in class, I will listen carefully to every word the teacher says. I will try my best to practice the movements the teacher leads, and try my best to achieve the intensity required by the teacher. When I first started practicing, I really couldn't stand it anymore. I felt that yoga was a very energy-consuming exercise. I often sweated a lot after practicing a yoga class, so I would drink a large glass every time I finished class. Water to replenish the lost water. People say that if you want to lose weight, you must drain the water in your body. Is it because I drink a lot of water every time, so I can't achieve the effect of losing weight?"

Question 2:"I insist on going to yoga classes twice a week. Because I have a history of hypoglycemia, I eat two or three chocolates and drink some hot milk before class every time, for fear of collapse. Is it because I ate high-calorie food that affects my weight loss? However, before practicing yoga, the teacher said that there is no need to control your diet because of this?"

Question 3:"When practicing yoga rest, logically speaking, I should listen to the teacher's instructions and constantly pay attention to various parts of my body. However, I can never concentrate my consciousness and fall asleep when I lie down. I'm sorry. But I really couldn't control myself because resting techniques were always the last one to practice, and I really felt tired. Is it because I didn't let my consciousness follow the teacher's instructions, so the effect of the practice was compromised?"

Expert comments:

Before practicing yoga, you should first understand some basic common sense. For example, you should not drink a lot of water immediately after practicing yoga, because drinking water quickly will not only affect the gastrointestinal tract, but also increase the burden on the heart. More importantly, yoga is a process of self-massaging the body's circulatory system and detoxification. Drinking less warm boiled water about half an hour before practicing yoga is very good for promoting body circulation and is also very conducive to eliminating body endotoxins. It is worth advocating, but drinking a lot of water immediately afterwards will burden the organs that have been repaired by yoga, which is not only bad for weight loss, but also bad for health.

Diet during yoga is also very important. You must strictly follow the teacher's regulations. For example, you cannot eat 2 hours before practicing yoga. Otherwise, letting the internal organs practice under burden will definitely greatly reduce the effect.

Yoga requires maintaining a good mentality to practice in a peaceful state of mind. Yoga is not only a way to cultivate one's own cultivation, but more importantly, a good way to cultivate one's mind. Therefore, learning yoga cannot be just based on the skin and the bottom. Cultivating the body and mind at the same time is the true core of yoga. In terms of LINAN's state, I think that adjusting one's mentality and improving fatigue is the most important first step. As long as the method is correct and one can persist, there will definitely be greater changes.
