Tracing the source
Among them, yoga rose in India in the east. In the Indian perspective, a hot and hot environment is the healthiest thing for the body. Westerners use modern heating equipment to recreate the practice environment of traditional Indian yoga. It is to perform a series of limb stretching movements in a constant high temperature environment. Hot yoga was founded by Indian yoga master Bikram Choudhury, so its official English name is Bikram Yoga, and most of its Chinese translations are "hot yoga" or "high temperature yoga."
The biggest difference between it and traditional yoga is that hot yoga is based on Hatha Yoga, which emphasizes asana and breathing. In a constant high temperature environment, following the rhythm of breathing, a set of about 269 42 steps of limb stretching movements. Yoga rose in India in the East. In the Indian concept, a hot and hot environment is the healthiest thing for the body. Therefore, when yoga was introduced to the West, Westerners used modern heating equipment to recreate the traditional Indian yoga practice environment, so the so-called hot yoga was born.
The efficacy of hot yoga
Help metabolic circulation and achieve the purpose of detoxification. Hot yoga, which can quickly warm your limbs and improve the softness of joints and muscles, is especially suitable for beginners. Almost everyone will agree that yoga is a kind of stretching exercise that emphasizes soft movements, but some experts say that for beginners who are not easy to relax, some yoga movements such as bending, twisting, bending, folding, and leaning may not all be soft. Beginners often cause many exercise injuries due to improper force or excessive reluctance. Hot yoga is performed in an environment slightly higher than body temperature. It can quickly warm the limbs of the body and improve the softness of joints and muscles.
Lin Weixiang, who has been practicing yoga for more than 30 years, said that the high temperature environment can indeed make the meridians softer. For beginners of yoga, the safety is indeed higher than that of ordinary traditional yoga, and problems such as cramps or strains are not easy to occur. 389 43 degrees Celsius is the temperature that most allows human muscles to relax and stretch, and it is also the most commonly used temperature when performing physical therapy (such as hydrotherapy, thermotherapy, etc.). This also happens to be in line with the Natural Warm theory that is quite advocated in the current medical field. Simply put, it means using a temperature higher than body temperature to provide a soothing hot compress effect on the surface skin to the deep muscles, thereby achieving the purpose of relaxation.
Hot yoga is like jogging, mountain climbing, dancing, playing basketball and other sports. Stretching exercises in a high temperature environment will speed up the flow of blood and increase the body temperature. In order to adjust the balance of temperature, the skin will begin to sweat a lot. At first, the sweat will be a little sticky and salty, which is caused by the accumulation of dirt in the pores. Then, the harmful substances in the blood will occur.(For example, lactic acid, which causes muscle soreness, etc.) will also be excreted with sweat, which will improve the soreness or rigidity of the bones and muscles, and the physical and mental state will also feel more comfortable. The so-called detoxification actually means this.
Reasonable diet
The movements of yoga are mainly to stretch and stretch the muscles and bones, which can lengthen the lines of the body and make the relaxed muscles strong. If there is no adjustment with daily eating habits, it will be even more difficult to realize the desire to become slim.
Many people often believe that hot yoga can lose weight, but you must have a correct concept of yoga. The movements of yoga are mainly to stretch and stretch the muscles and bones, which can lengthen the lines of the body and make the relaxed muscles strong., further achieve the purpose of sculpting curves. If it is combined with a high temperature environment, the metabolism and consumption of calories will be faster, in theory, it will have the effect of losing weight. However, if it is not adjusted with daily eating habits, you will still consume high calories, Food with high fat, then it will be even more difficult to realize the desire to become slim.
Drinking more water is the key
About 19 2 hours before doing hot yoga, you must drink at least 1,000 milliliters of water to replenish enough water for all cells in the body to avoid the danger of heat stroke and dehydration. However, drinking water is learned. Injecting 500 milliliters of water in one breath will increase the burden on the kidneys and may cause kidney edema. It is correct and healthy to replenish water in a small amount and multiple times. Moreover, you must never suddenly enter a low-temperature air-conditioned room from a high temperature environment. You must wait until your body temperature cools down a little, so as to prevent the heart's blood vessels from being unable to withstand the sharp changes in temperature difference for a while.
In addition, when doing hot yoga, when sweating reaches a certain level, if the body trembles, tightens, or if the movements that could have been done cannot be achieved, it means that the muscles have begun to fatigue and the body has consumed too much energy. It is time to rest. After exercise, if the muscle soreness or tightness does not decrease within 2 hours, it means excessive exercise. This is due to too many metabolites produced by exercise and cannot be completely eliminated smoothly. This causes delayed soreness of muscles. In fact, no matter which genre of yoga or any exercise you are doing,"within your capabilities" should be the highest guiding principle.
In general, in addition to the above precautions, the location of hot yoga should be at a constant temperature and the air is convective with the outside. It is by no means an airtight space. You don't mean doing yoga in a hot place (such as an oven) is practicing hot yoga. Especially for people who are particularly sensitive to oxygen-deficient environments, they should be extra careful. Unless they are healthy and experienced yoga masters, it is recommended to choose a place where a professional instructor is present, which is safer. (Internship Editor: Huang Xianyan)
