Elderly people are also crazy about yoga

Old Mr. Hu Duoyuan, who lives in Shiqi District, is now in his sixties, but his health is better than that of ordinary young people. According to Mr. Hu, he only started to come into contact with yoga when he was 59 years old, and it has been six years since then. Today, his "skills" are no inferior to those of young people, and he can even perform a "headstand" movement, which is praised by the yoga community as the "king of yoga postures."

Mr. Hu told reporters that he only came into contact with yoga for the first time after retiring at the age of 59, and has been fascinated since then. "When people are old, their bones are hard. When I started practicing yoga, I broke out in a cold sweat. It took a young person two months to open the ligament of his hip joint, but it took me nearly two years." For six years, he has insisted on spending three hours a day practicing yoga. Nowadays, difficult movements such as "one-word horse" and "headstand" are easy and easy for Lao Hu.

With his interest and perseverance, Hu Lao obtained the yoga teacher qualification certificate in 2005 and once taught in our city's Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, Youth Cultural Palace, etc. Lao Hu told reporters that yoga is also a health exercise. Whether it is for middle-aged and elderly people or urban white-collar workers, young people can do some simple yoga movements in the office to relieve fatigue. He said: "I don't feel old at all, my heart is very young. I want to use my own experience to tell everyone that yoga is not the preserve of young people." (Internship Editor: Yan Lili)
