If you want to experience the changes brought by yoga, please don't treat it as an ordinary exercise. When you first learn about yoga and prepare yourself to enter the world of yoga, make more mental preparations. This will help you experience it more deeply. Yoga improves spiritual activities beyond your physical fitness.
No. 1. What are your limitations?
Self-physical examination and psychological test are the most preliminary and safest test of your body. Although yoga is suitable for everyone to learn, the first step is to understand your physical fitness and health in order to complement each other to achieve the expected improvement. Especially for those who already have some shoulder, neck or spine problems, it is best to discuss with a professional doctor or yoga teacher first, and never rashly do something that your physical body cannot bear; psychological tests are to analyze the emotional problems and psychological obstacles you often encounter. Yoga is a place where your mind can fully expand, rest and vent your emotions, so self-understanding is very important.
No. 2. Understand Yoga Before exploring this thousand-year-old sport, ask yourself the following questions: What do you think the philosophy of yoga is? What do you think is taught in yoga classes? What do you hope to gain from it? What types of yoga teachers are there? The above questions are to help you find out the answers to unclear questions before starting to refer to yoga course materials, so that when you decide to start investing time, energy, and money in the world of yoga, you can fully grasp the essentials and fully assist yourself. Physical and mental potential is balanced.
No. 3. Set a goal Before you set a goal, you should first know that the goal does not mean that you can do a handstand in three months. Don't push yourself too hard. The goal is not an ambition that must be successful. Set a goal for yourself to be close to your body and mind. This goal is to see whether your body and mind are better than before practicing yoga. In fact, it doesn't matter what kind of yoga center you want to choose. As long as you are closer to you, the more you understand your needs, and give yourself a score that will truly help and improve your body and mind. This is the yoga that is really suitable for you.
No. 1. I want to breathe. Are you breathing? Breathing is a magic weapon that everyone is born with. However, we only achieve 30% of our breathing, and the rest not only fail to fully use it, but even ignore it! In fact, as long as you return to the pure exploration of your infancy, you will be surprised how simple and simple the breathing method of yoga is. Here I want to shout loudly: Breathe! Take a deep breath big, then take a few more deep breaths-do you feel relieved now? Let us cooperate with the practice of yoga to retrieve the remaining 70% of our potential and discover our innocence and energy!
No2. I want to warm up. Do you often feel numb and unable to move when you move after holding a position for a few minutes? Be careful, be careful, your blood circulation is so slow that it protests against you with tingling! Now you are sitting as stable as Mount Tai, be careful and you will soon turn into a fossil-you must know the truth that fossils will be broken, broken, cracked, or injured if they fall! So if you're a person who doesn't exercise at all, get up and move your stiff body. But remember, you must warm up first so that you won't hurt your body like a fossil! "Warm up" is something you must do before doing exercise, especially before entering yoga practice.
No. 3. I want to relax. We often see some graceful dancers exuding a soft, flexible and elegant body language when they dance, which attracts us to keep our eyes away for a long time. That gentle gesture is really Enviable. If it were to be replaced by a picture of the same hands and feet, and the whole body was as stiff as a wooden stake jumping up and down, it would be really unbearable! Therefore, the key to femininity is to learn to relax first, and to be a yoga beauty, of course, you must have a relaxation magic weapon!
No4. I want to feel that practicing yoga is actually very simple and easy. There is only one trick, that is,"follow the feeling" when practicing! Please say loudly with me: "I want to feel!" Because "feeling" is a very simple thing, it is easy to ignore, for example, in daily life, do you feel that you are breathing at any time? Do you ever feel like you are relaxing? As long as you are more sensitive to your own "feelings", you can feel whether your body and mind are balanced, and you can also feel whether your whole body is affected by pressure or physical discomfort. By practicing yoga postures, you can feel your body twisting, folding, leaning back, bending forward, etc. to apply force, massage, stretch, squeeze, and relax your whole body, and during the practice, operate it to the extent you can most feel it.
No. 5. A woman who wants to be focused is the most beautiful, because serious concentration is a charming factor. Spread this factor to every part and cell of your body, and you will certainly be beautiful! To practice yoga, you must so seriously focus on every inch and every minute of the feeling inside and outside the body, awaken the functions of the body, feel and love your body, and feel, experience, and use the most sensory parts with focused consciousness to protect, let the practice of yoga asana, sometimes press, touch, push, pull, squeeze, tighten, loosen and other feelings on the body due to the change of posture, and use focused consciousness to taste, experience, harvest, improve, enjoy, and feel sometimes sour, Change and comfort in pain, swelling, and numbness to achieve the best effect.
No. 6. I need to balance. How long has it been since you balanced? "Balance" is very important to health, but balance of body and mind will shine brightly. People who lose balance will definitely be eclipsed, just like a house cannot be built without a solid and balanced foundation. The only exception, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Italy, is the only miracle that has appeared in decades. Later generations have tried every means to repair and maintain it in order to maintain its balance and find "balance among imbalances" to maintain it. Therefore, balance is very important. Only with balance can we have solid pillars, and only with balance can we have a healthy body and mind. So another trick to practicing yoga is to be "balanced": remember to bend forward after doing simple backward bends; don't forget the right after doing left, and remember to twist the left after twisting the right. Only then can the balanced exercise be correct!
No. 7. When I continue to practice yoga, the mentality of fishing for three days and drying the net for two days must be completely eliminated. Otherwise, the effect of having a beautiful figure and healthy body will definitely be compromised. Persistence and persistence are very important yoga learning spirit, if you want to practice, do not practice it does not matter and too casual, and finally will give up practice, it is a pity! It's not that hard to sustain. Special reminder to you, when you see this and make up your mind to start planning and practicing yoga, don't be too greedy at once! I arranged too much time and practiced too many times. As a result, I couldn't practice twice and was so tired that I couldn't continue. Instead, it turned into pressure, and it was a pity to stop or give up in the end!
No. 8. It is happy for me to fall in love and be loved. Every woman hopes for someone to love; on the other hand, it is hard to love! By the same token, falling in love with yoga requires a hard practice process. After you practice and become familiar with it, you will naturally feel the comfort and health brought by yoga. This feeling will make you fall in love with yoga like an addiction, and then you will have to let yoga love your body. You must date yoga every day, otherwise something will go wrong-when you feel this way, you will be right! As long as you become addicted to yoga, declare "I want to fall in love", and YOGA every day to let your body and mind feel the happiness of being loved, you will be young forever, healthy and beautiful!
