Yoga is the technique of tranquility of body and mind

has been a busy day, I am so tired! I want to relax in another way and "liberate" a brand new self. Let's take a look at yoga, a "static" fitness method that is different from dynamic exercises, long-distance running, and playing ball. Come to a piece of soft music, or you can also light a stove of aromatherapy to calm your heart...

Wearing bodybuilding clothes and accompanied by soft music, let your limbs stretch, slowly inhale, and breathe out gently. Sometimes it is like a monkey picking up, sometimes it is like a pine crane spreading its wings, sometimes it is like a python winding, sometimes it is like a kitten squatting... This is a scene that the reporter recently saw at a yoga practice studio in the city.

After many years of popularity of emerging health sports such as rhythmic gymnastics and aerobic exercise, some ancient fitness methods have recently become popular and have become new favorites in the fitness and beauty market. The most typical example is yoga, which has been practiced for many years.

Experience: yoga inside and outside

"When practicing yoga, the surrounding environment is important." Coach Li Hua from a yoga studio in downtown Quanzhou told reporters,"Only in a peaceful atmosphere can you calm your heart, stretch it comfortably, completely relax, eliminate distracting thoughts, and practice quietly. You don't need to stretch your ligaments as hard as you practice. Just stretch them to the most comfortable position and stop where you can. Don't force yourself to feel uncomfortable."

Li Hua introduced: "After practicing yoga, you will feel relaxed physically and mentally. Come and experience it with me. You will definitely make unexpected discoveries!" After making the necessary preparations, the reporter came to the spacious practice room, where there were already more than 10 practitioners. Accompanied by soothing music, the yoga class began. In Li Hua's reminder, I, who was learning yoga for the first time, actually practiced well. Some postures are still difficult, such as the movement of tightening toes and straightening upwards. I almost felt that I couldn't hold it anymore. I breathed a sigh and still held on until the end.

At the scene, some members who came to practice had quite standardized movements and should have been practicing for a long time. However, there were also a few students who were as busy as me, but they all studied very seriously. Li Hua also carefully takes care of the feelings of beginners and reminds them when necessary.

After practicing yoga poses, I relax and rest. I lay on the mat, feel comfortable and feel extremely relaxed. I almost fell asleep in the music, and my mood became much calmer.

It seems that yoga can not only keep fit, but also adjust people's mentality well. Li Hua said: "Practicing yoga is especially beneficial to people who are depressed and depressed, and it is also very helpful in preventing diseases. Yoga can best train people's perseverance, cultivate one's character through quiet practice, and cultivate one's good temperament and mentality."

Practitioner: It makes people feel peaceful inside

After the practice, I interviewed several practitioners. Ms. Zhu, who is full of energy, said: "I am 37 years old and am a secretary in a company. I have been practicing for more than a year and a half. I came here to practice because of inexplicable pain in my shoulder and back, which I spent a lot of money but couldn't cure. I started to feel that yoga was mysterious, so I just wanted to give it a try. I didn't expect that I would feel different the next day after I just practiced once."

She smiled and continued: "So I persisted for more than two months, and the symptoms began to alleviate, and now I am completely recovered. In addition, I used to lose my temper casually, but now my family says I have become gentle."

Ms. Zhang said in an interview: "Practicing yoga has a calming effect, but the most important thing is its conditioning effect. By finely adjusting the internal environment, breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, etc. can reach normal or optimal balance. Learning yoga has taught me to treat people and things with a more humble attitude, which has a great impact on my life."

Coach: Exercise is not complicated

What does yoga include and what results will it have through practice? Li Hua told reporters: "Yoga can be mainly divided into three parts, namely breathing method, posture method and meditation method. Posture method mainly refers to body movements, including bending, stretching, twisting, pushing, and squeezing. These movements can play a similar massage effect on people's internal organs and promote metabolism and blood circulation. Meditation means concentrating on your concentration, eliminating all distracting thoughts, and focusing on your breath until you reach a state where you forget both things and me and become one with nature."

Li Hua told reporters that yoga is actually not complicated. Most practitioners only need to follow the coach's instructions to complete the prescribed movements. Whether the body is stiff or soft, it doesn't matter if it is a beginner of yoga. The main point of action is to coordinate well with your breathing, so that the correlation between your body and your mood will be deepened day by day. With a sedentary nature and your whole body, you will be intoxicated in the joy that you surge from the inside out and get complete relaxation in the spiritual world.

The reporter saw in the practice hall that most of the people who come here to practice yoga are women in their thirties. Is yoga not suitable for other groups of people? In response to the reporter's doubts, Li Hua explained with a smile: "In fact, yoga is suitable for people of any age and gender. As long as you like this sport, you can practice it. You can practice it in the gym, at home, outdoors and even in the office, but it is best for beginners to do it under the guidance of a yogi. The reason why most practitioners are women may be that yoga movements are mainly soft and are more popular among women."

Modern people's lives are getting faster and faster, and their mental pressure is getting greater and greater. At the same time, due to lack of enough exercise, many people suffer from various acute and chronic diseases and are deeply troubled. Practicing yoga can help them regulate their body and mind. White-collar workers with successful careers and greater work pressure naturally have a soft spot for them. Illness, deeply troubled, practicing yoga can help them regulate their body and mind.
