Hot yoga at home is the best choice in winter

Are you still living at home in the cold winter? That's right, who wants to come into contact with the cold air outside? Then do yoga at home to shape your body! Today, Xiaobian introduces you to hot yoga.

Hot yoga was founded by Indian Bikram in the United States. Once it was launched, it caused a sensation in the entire yoga world. Although this practice method is considered by some classical yogis to be inconsistent with traditional concepts and norms, Hot Yoga undoubtedly has loyal followers. Hot yoga has very strict requirements on the venue and temperature. Practitioners must practice 26 basic postures in a high temperature environment between 38 ° C and 42 ° C. Basically, they will be sweating profusely after 10 minutes.

The advantage of sweating is that it can take away toxins on the body surface and purify the nervous system. Traditional hatha yoga and astanga yoga use postures to cause practitioners to sweat a lot, thereby achieving the purpose of removing waste from the body. The high temperature environment of hot yoga replaces a lot of hard practice. Ordinary people will sweat even if they don't do any exercises after entering it. Many celebrities rely on hot yoga to lose weight, and more and more people in China are trying this yoga system.

At room temperature, muscles and tendons are stiff, but at high temperatures, you will find that your body is surprisingly flexible and you will have confidence in yourself. This is also a major feature of hot yoga.

In addition to losing weight, long-term practice of hot yoga can also relieve migraines, low back pain, cervical pain and gastrointestinal diseases. In the introduction of hot yoga, such words appear many times, and many people who come to practice hot yoga in high spirits also have this purpose. Hot yoga classes are held three times a week, each time for about an hour. The hot yoga room is always home to the highest popularity. Yoga mats are covered on the ground. Students range from their early 20s to their 50s, most of whom are white-collar workers.

By exercising the flexibility of the human body, the flexibility of the spine can be improved. Squeezing the cervical spine in the opposite direction can relax the meridians and activate blood circulation to treat migraines and cervical pain. It is especially suitable for people who often sit in the office. Insufficient exercise, intense mental stress and excessive weight loss can all cause the human body to have a cold constitution. Hot yoga combines warmth and exercise, allowing people to brave the severe cold to experience the fun of sports that is "misaligned" in the seasons.

People who are healthy, have no serious illness or hidden dangers of illness, and want to lose weight and detoxify. Heart disease, high blood pressure, severe eye and ear disease, diabetes, recovering from serious illness, maternal, sub-healthy people are not suitable for practice.

First of all, practicing hot yoga will bring certain pressure to the heart and respiratory system. People with heart disease, low blood pressure or physical weakness should be cautious. Beginners may feel dizzy, which is normal. Pay attention to the timing when practicing, take appropriate rest halfway to replenish water.

Secondly, students are advised not to eat for three hours before practice, to drink a large glass of water 20 minutes before the start of practice, and not to eat for one hour after the end of practice. Due to the cold winter and the large temperature difference between indoor and outdoor, special attention should be paid to preventing colds. It is best to bring a piece of thick clothes and not to be careless about the journey from the hot yoga room to the locker room. It is best to take a bath 20 - 30 minutes after the exercise, otherwise the muscles and joints that are completely relaxed during exercise will easily become stiff.

Once you experience symptoms such as excessive sweating, dehydration, nausea, fatigue, abdominal pain, etc., please stop practicing immediately and go out for ventilation. If your symptoms still do not improve after several attempts, it means that your constitution is not suitable for this yoga system. It is recommended to choose another one.

Note:

Bring towels and water when practicing. Don't take a bath immediately after practice. Wait until the sweat dries and the pores shrink before washing, which is more conducive to the elimination of toxins. (Internship Editor: Lili)
