Control your breathing during practice, practice slowly with deep breathing, and keep it static in one position for a period of time.

Efficacy: Promote physical health, clear consciousness, understand yourself, control stress and create happiness.

2. Ashtanga Yoga

Ashtanga yoga is an ancient and intense yoga training method. Because it focuses on the flow of energy in the body, it is also called energy yoga. It dates back to 1500 years, and ancient manuscripts are still preserved today. His origin Korunta Yoga consists of six series, each series consisting of 40 asanas.

It has stricter requirements in the following five aspects: Ujjayi pranayama throat breathing, Bandha binding method, Drishti gaze point, Vinyasa flow program, Asana specific poses

The arrangement of Ashtanga Yoga poses is fixed, and there are quite fixed requirements for the control of breathing in each pose practice. Paying attention to breathing in specific poses can enhance the quality of breathing. It is the perfect combination of asana practice and breathing state.

At the same time, adjusting your breathing state by looking at a specific point can exercise your eye muscles and improve your concentration ability that is difficult to achieve in daily life. It is very helpful to eliminate scattered thinking and concentration.

The primary exercise series can improve the human body's circulatory system, promote body detoxification and correct the human body. Generally speaking, people who exercise more and have better physical fitness will be more adapted to this exercise. Of course, people with certain yoga experience and physical fitness can try this exercise.

3、Vinyasa Flow Yoga

Emphasize the consistency of posture. Each posture is maintained for a short time, but one posture after another remains dynamic. It focuses more on the cultivation and training of strength, flexibility, and endurance, especially strength and endurance. At the same time, it pays attention to the coordination of breathing. The connection between poses gives people a feeling of being completed in one go. The up-and-down rotation between its asanas is mainly completed by some movements in the Japanese prayer

Posture combination: The order is similar to ashtanga yoga, but you can create the combination according to the situation. It emphasizes the harmony of exercise and breathing. The posture is beautiful and flexible, and basically adopts the ujayi breathing method, which is the breathing of the throat.

It is suitable for people with a little foundation in yoga, because their movements are relatively consistent, so people who have practiced a little yoga will be more likely to master the flow of the movements and will not mess up their breathing in order to follow the footsteps of the coach. It allows the body to achieve a balance between strength and flexibility. At the same time, it also improves cardiovascular function. After practicing smooth poses, the whole person feels refreshed.

4. Iyengar Yoga

Emphasize the accuracy of each posture, and use assistive devices such as obstacles, chairs, carpets and belts to enable practitioners to freely make different poses in a safe and effective way. Use the support, strength and resistance of these devices to enable practitioners to have a deeper understanding of the poses and practice them, so that ordinary people can also experience the essence of yoga poses. Its rhythm is slow and comfortable,

For beginners, practitioners with poor flexibility and endurance, and practitioners who cannot participate in high-intensity sports due to minor sports injuries, IYENGAR Yoga is a good entry choice. Other practitioners can also learn from its methods to improve the quality of asanas. In addition, if you are a little tired, you can choose this tool-based exercise combination, which will help you restore your vitality and vitality while achieving the purpose of exercise.

5. yinyoga: I don't know much, but I'm quite interested. I hope I have the opportunity to go deeper

Most general yoga is called Yang yoga, because it mostly tightens muscles, and many movements mainly stretch and strengthen muscles. Yin yoga requires the mind to focus on the joints being exercised, relax the muscles, and stretch the connecting tissues and joints between the bones. Yin yoga movements require a long retention time, usually about 3 minutes, which is to achieve deep stretching during this retention. Yin yoga exercises are mainly concentrated above the thighs and below the waist, focusing on the hips, pelvis, and cross-joints, which are places that are not easy to exercise in ordinary times.

6、Chi Yoga

Duncan Wong, a yoga coach with 20 years of experience, has once "captured" the hearts of many big names-he has served as a personal coach for stars such as Madonna, Sting, and Bjork. Duncan said the perseverance of the big names is amazing. Madonna, for example, would insist on practicing yoga with him, whether it was after a long movie premiere or a hard concert rehearsal.

Because of this, Duncan always likes to set himself with the highest goals, and as a result, he has become a big name among yogis-this time, he used his long-term experience in yoga to design a new "ChiYoga" specially for China practitioners.

Coincidentally,"Chi" is not only the homophonic of "Qi", but also the first syllable of "China".

Qi: The "Qi" of China philosophy is not only used in the name of ChiYoga, but also the essence of ChiYoga. Duncan's explanation is: Qi is a kind of life force that flashes, flows in the body, and then becomes breathing. All exercise comes from breathing, and all breathing comes from chi. Each group of ChiYoga's movements also follows this order: from luck to adjusting breathing, to bringing out movements.

Source: Compared with other yogas, ChiYoga is a "master" person, absorbing the essence of three things. Duncan once learned Shaolin Kung Fu in Chinese and Korean martial arts, and also practiced Korean martial arts? a href="http://dy.39.net/commentlist-hzp.aspx" target="_blank" class=blue> Xinde. Many of yoga's movements come from martial arts such as Qigong, Tai Chi, and KukSoolWon (a Korean striking technique). So don't be surprised if you see the action of praying mantis boxing in ChiYoga!

Isn't it a bit special to put the Thai massage "Ma Shaji" movement into yoga? This is also what Duncan is good at. However, if you think about the various techniques of the masseur, you should know that ChiYoga's action routines are really rich!

Astana Yoga is actually a foundation for the foundation in ChiYoga, retaining the basic essence of Astana Yoga-a combination of a series of yoga postures with smooth movements.

Although the three seem different, they all have something in common: they have a long history and emphasize the nature of body movements. Duncan used one sentence: Different is nothing! (No different!) ChiYoga will alternate and combine the classic movements of the three in turn to form a smooth routine.

In Duncan's eyes, yoga enthusiasts in China are all Be-ginner. But because of this, the threshold for learning ChiYoga is also very low, and everyone can come.

For beginners, Duncan put forward three requirements: OpenHeart (an open mind), EmptyMind (a clear mind), and LightSpirit (a relaxed spirit). In short, just eliminate distracting thoughts and devote yourself to it.

As for the technical requirements, like other yoga, it is enough to be barefoot, on an empty stomach, and have basic exercise ability. (Internship Editor: Wu Jinyu)
