Burning version of yoga is safer and more effective
Required items: room temperature 38℃!
From the United States, a form of yoga performed in a high temperature environment has begun to become popular in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Hong Kong... High-temperature yoga has not yet appeared in Hangzhou, but the reporter learned from several fitness centers that many fitness centers have already intended to introduce high-temperature yoga in the near future.
Why does yoga have a fever? This is the most popular high-temperature yoga now. The biggest difference between it and traditional yoga is that the temperature in the practice room must reach 38 ° C, and high-temperature yoga is very suitable for beginners to practice.
Why does the room have to be so hot?
Because if you practice yoga without your body getting hot, you can easily get injured. Especially for yoga, which emphasizes body stretching, temperature is even more important. Bikram Choudhury, the founder of high-temperature yoga and founder of the Indian Yoga Institute in the United States, once gave such an image metaphor for high-temperature yoga: After heating a piece of steel, its shape can be easily changed with a hammer, while steel that is not heated is extremely difficult to change.
Therefore, the indoor temperature of 38 ° C not only increases the body temperature, but also accelerates blood circulation and softens the muscles and bones that are hardened due to lack of exercise. In this way, even a body that lacks exercise in normal times can more easily complete different stretching movements and avoid being injured. Therefore, high-temperature yoga is very suitable for beginners or people who have long lacked exercise. Based on traditional yoga, BikramChoudhury studied 26 of these movements and scientifically arranged them according to the characteristics of human muscles, ligaments and tendons.
The length of a high-temperature yoga class is about 90 minutes. It includes 26 stretches, including lying down, standing and sitting cross-legged. This set of static movements of twisting, bending and stretching can directly stimulate the nervous and muscular system and improve spinal flexibility. It is especially suitable for office workers to practice. When you are in a hot room, your body will sweat for a short time, which naturally warms up. After 90 minutes of practice, the body can reach a state of balance. Ideally, fresh blood filled with oxygen can be delivered to all parts of the body. In addition to the effect of weight loss, because high-temperature yoga has the function of normalizing gland activity, long-term practice has a therapeutic effect on insomnia, migraine, low back pain, cervical spondylosis, gastrointestinal diseases, etc. In addition, practicing high-temperature yoga can also reduce facial wrinkles, increase disease resistance, improve vision and hearing, maintain mental and emotional health, and make intuition more acute.
