Bikram Yoga Fever Edition

At room temperature of 38 to 40 degrees Celsius, yoga begins to have a "fever".

Yoga at high temperatures

The correct name for high temperature yoga is Bikram Yoga, which was founded by Bikram Choudhury, founder of the Yoga College of India in the United States, and his wife. The biggest difference between it and traditional yoga is the temperature of the practice room and the yoga movements, which is suitable for beginners to practice. High-temperature yoga consists of 26 stretching movements and 2 breathing methods. It is also a flexibility exercise. It can improve the flexibility of the spine and is especially suitable for office workers. It directly stimulates the nervous and muscular system through some static movements of twisting, bending and stretching and the rest time between movements, and can reduce weight.

High temperature yoga retains the 26 postures of the original Hatha Yoga and arranges them scientifically. These 26 movements are scientifically arranged in the order of traction and heating according to the characteristics of human muscles, ligaments and tendons. The founders believe that if the practitioner jumps to the 15th move without properly preparing the relevant muscles, the result will be as unpleasant as doing a hasty back somersault. Therefore, when practicing, you must follow the order instructed by the coach, otherwise you will make mistakes.

High-temperature yoga requires practitioners to practice at room temperature of 38 to 40 degrees Celsius. Practicing yoga without the body being heated can easily be injured. This is like heating a piece of steel, and you can easily change it into what you imagine with a hammer. Shape, and there is no way to change steel that is not heated with a hammer.

Advocates of high temperature yoga believe that this set of movements can harmoniously restore the body to a balanced state in 90 minutes, allowing the entire body to be exercised. It can systematically deliver 100% oxygen-filled fresh blood to all parts of the body, allowing them to return to a healthy and natural working state. In addition to the effect of weight loss, hot yoga has a therapeutic effect on insomnia, migraines, low back pain, cervical spondylosis, gastrointestinal diseases, etc. At the same time, practitioners of yoga can reduce facial wrinkles, make people feel young and longevity, increase disease resistance, improve vision and hearing, lose weight, mentally and emotionally healthy, and have sharper instincts.

Experience high-temperature yoga

Before class, the reporter followed the coach's instructions: don't eat 3 hours before training, and it is best to drink a large glass of water 20 minutes before class. Walking into the hot yoga classroom, I was greeted with waves of heat waves. Although the spacious and bright practice room was full of people who came to practice, it was very quiet. Everyone was surrounded by a bottle of water and two towels. The coach said,"Because the room temperature is hot, the towel is used to wipe sweat, and the water is used to replenish moisture during training."

Class on time. After the coach introduced the course arrangements and water requirements, he began to practice the posture. As soon as he started to do one or two movements, the reporter began to sweat. During training, the coach asked each posture to be repeated once. Although the coach would relax reasonably after the students completed every posture, the reporter still felt that beads of sweat the size of soybeans were flowing down their cheeks. Under this kind of warmth, it seems that everyone's flexibility has reached its best state. Stretch and squeeze to the maximum extent, and let the sweat "pour out" unscrupulously. After a while, the clothes are soaked through. At this time, it seemed to feel the pressure in the body expelled from the body together with the toxins.

Since this was the first time I participated in hot yoga training, the coach told me,"Beginners will have difficulty adapting to the pressure brought by yoga practice on the heart and respiratory system at this temperature, and will experience dizziness. This phenomenon is very normal. At this time, you can lie down and rest for a while." Finally, it was the last move. Although the movements were not difficult, my body still felt tired. Hurry into the shower room and completely rush behind you. I really feel my body is beginning to become lighter, and my skin and thoughts feel completely refreshed.

High-temperature yoga practice recommendations

1。Don't eat 3 hours before practicing yoga and keep an empty stomach.

2。Bring a bottle of clear water and drink it at any time. 3。Wear it comfortably, do not hinder your body movements, and absorb sweat well.

4。During training, use your nose to breathe throughout the entire process, because nose hair can filter dirty air and harmful bacteria, and nose breathing can also calm nerves.

5。Grasping the slow process of the movement and the feeling of moving your whole body is more important than completing the movement.

6。Maintain the number of breaths when completing the action, limited to your physical fitness. Beginners can keep the number of breaths 3--5, and slowly increase the number later.

7。As long as you persevere in practicing yoga and do your best to achieve results.

8。Heart patients should be aware that high temperatures may cause discomfort. (Internship Editor: Zhang Xing)
