Super suitable yoga moves for summer

There are at least three reasons why we fall in love with cool summer yoga

Reasons for Traditional Chinese Medicine

"March in summer is called wild weeds. The qi of heaven and earth meets each other, and all things are in full bloom." This is what the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic says about summer. It means that during summer, the sun flows downward, the geothermal heat evaporates upward, and the qi of heaven and earth meets upward. Summer is the season with the strongest yang energy and is full of vitality. Plants blossom and blossom, and everything thrives and beautiful. In the human body, yang qi is emitted externally and yin is contained internally. Qi and blood flow vigorously and are active on the surface of the body. The advent of air conditioning allows us to pretend not to care about the four seasons, but our bodies still enter summer on time and operate according to summer rules. Therefore, traditional Chinese medicine reminds us that in summer, we must pay special attention to protecting the yang qi in the body and not harm the yang qi in the body because of greed.

Reasons for yoga

In summer, correct yoga practice can open the pores of the skin, and smoothly discharge sweat and dirt in the body, regulate body temperature, eliminate summer heat, and protect the body's yang qi. Yoga combs and massages the internal organs, seven meridians and eight meridians, making the whole body smooth, balances the qi and blood in the whole body, and makes the body feel comfortable.

Reasons for bikini

The effect of yoga to lose weight can help us save bikinis that have been left out because of the "life buoy" around our waist.
