Doing yoga and physiotherapy in the office is very comfortable
"straighten your back, relax your whole body, close your eyes, relax your shoulders, and stretch your breath..." Yoga teacher Amar is reminding 16 participants of the action points.
Teacher Amar, who is responsible for teaching physiotherapy courses, was a teacher at Vikannada Yoga University in Bangalore, India. He has been teaching yoga for 13 years and is particularly good at spinal physiotherapy courses.
"With the help of chairs, you can increase efficiency and make it safer." The whole class was accompanied by soothing background music. Teacher Amar led the experimenters to complete the movements with the help of a chair, while emphasizing the need to "straighten your back","relax your neck" and "don't use too much force" through the translation of teaching assistant Gong Shanshan.
"Physical therapy course movements are combined with breathing. While relaxing the neck, shoulders and spine, it can also correct poor posture. It is particularly effective for people who have been sitting in the office for a long time." After class, Teacher Amar told us about the efficacy of spinal physiotherapy courses.
"I am an accountant. I usually face the computer in the office every day, which hurts my cervical spine. After a set of movements, I feel very comfortable in my cervical spine!" After class, Zhu Xiafang, who had no time to wipe off her sweat, told us,"I didn't sleep well before, but later I practiced yoga several times and it felt quite effective."
Qian Lihong, who works in an agency, started practicing yoga in 2007. She talked about the course experience: "The whole spine is relatively comfortable and the whole body is comfortable." She said with a smile,"In addition to the relaxation of the body, my breathing has also been adjusted, my mood has also been happy, and I can still lose weight, haha!"
■ Taobao Intelligence Station
As more and more people practice yoga, more and more yoga-related products and shops are on Taobao. When reporters type "yoga" on Taobao, they can see yoga suits, yoga vests, yoga drapes, yoga mats, etc. On Taobao's hot-selling list, the best-selling ones are yoga suits, and yoga mats are also selling very well.
Teacher Amar told reporters that when purchasing yoga clothes, you must be comfortable and of the right size to allow you to fully open your body. When purchasing a yoga mat, the thickness should be moderate. Too thin or too thick will make it difficult to balance when doing the movements.
■ Tips
1. Keep an empty stomach before class, and practice for the best two to three hours after eating;
2. Don't stretch too much, stop immediately when the movements are uncomfortable, don't force them;
3. It is best to conduct courses under the guidance of professional teachers for the first time. (Editor in charge: Jiang Gang)
