Men's entry tips for yoga

Recently, men's yoga has also become one of the trendy sports. I remember the first time I saw the male yoga instructor perform, the people present were attracted by his focused expression and difficult movements. In just one year, many men have become addicted to yoga. According to reports, in India, the birthplace of yoga, the top yoga masters are all men.

Men's yoga tips:

1. Keep an empty stomach during practice. It is best to practice two or three hours after a meal, or eat half an hour after practice.

2. Do not take a bath for half an hour before and after practice.

3. After a serious illness or surgery, it is absolutely forbidden to practice yoga.

4. Keep in a happy mood while practicing and listen to some light and slow music.

5. Every movement must be coordinated with your breathing and your attention must be concentrated.

6. Don't force yourself, make every move to the limit of comfort, and don't compare with others.

Practice yoga to relieve stress

Everyone who practices yoga feels like this: nerves are completely relaxed, pressure is released, and external and internal changes and growth are constantly occurring. So yoga is good for everyone. However, men are rarely seen in yoga classes, and almost 99% of practitioners are women. According to Han Hongli, a yoga instructor at Kangyi Yoga Studio, in fact, yoga is not a specialty for women, and there are many benefits for men who practice yoga. The pace of urban life is fast and the pressure of work is high. If you cannot relax properly, it will cause a series of psychological and physiological lesions. For example, people who often work at their desks are prone to cardiovascular disease, cervical spondylosis and back pain. Men practicing yoga can help ease their mood, calm their inner impetuosity, and improve their self-control.

Men have a knack for getting started in yoga

Because yoga movements are relatively slow and slow, and require relatively high flexibility, in fact yoga emphasizes more on the method of breathing and the secret of letting the body enter a calm state. Men's flexibility is not as good as women, so they are not very quick at the beginning, but as the practice deepens, you will find that due to the increase in physical resilience, men may gain more benefits from yoga, and their physical strength will become better. Better, the mentality will be calmer.
