Yoga is a physical and mental exercise

There are 84 common yoga movements. After thousands of years of development, there are more than 84000 types of yoga movements, ranging from easy to difficult. Most people think that yoga is specially designed for women. In fact, tracing its origin, yoga is a cultivation method to pursue wisdom. At that time, most of the practitioners of yoga were men. The purpose of the exercise is to help improve the flexibility and range of motion of various parts of the body and restore the smoothness of all body functions. It has no restrictions on age, gender, or physical condition. You may feel physically exhausting when you first practice yoga. After a period of practice, the practitioner will be surprised at the change in body flexibility. Thereby greatly enhancing the coordination of body movements.

Breathing is the foundation of life and one of the important training contents of yoga. The purpose of yoga breathing method is to effectively massage the internal organs through various breathing methods (determined according to the individual's physical and mental conditions), stimulate the benign secretion of various physiological glands, activate the potential power of meridians and chakras (which may also be equivalent to the meridians and acupoints referred to in traditional Chinese medicine), better clean the body, thereby laying the foundation for higher spiritual cultivation and spiritual development. On the contrary, if there is a problem with breathing, the body's circulatory system, digestive system, and excretory system will be affected, and a large amount of toxins will accumulate in various parts of the body and become the source of disease.

Yoga is a physical and mental exercise that is suitable for both men and women and is not limited by age. Therefore, it is not exclusive to women. If you are confused by the surface flexibility of yoga movements, it is undoubtedly a loss for many men. For modern people who are in a hurry, if they cannot learn to relax and vent, they will cause a series of psychological and physiological diseases. Diseases such as cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, cervical spondylosis, and bone spurs will also quietly come to us. Not only that, when the human body is tired, many functions will be affected, causing people to fall into a sub-health state of fatigue and listlessness. Yoga is a kind of training that consciously adjusts breathing, achieves body balance with body posture, and restores the body's ability to self-heal. The deep breathing of yoga helps to concentrate attention, and complete and balanced contraction and extension movements can train the elasticity of the muscles and joints of the whole body, which cannot be achieved by some single exercise. Because the yoga movements are relatively soothing and slow, the requirements for flexibility are relatively high. At the same time, yoga emphasizes more on the method of breathing and allowing the body to enter a calm state. Generally speaking, men's flexibility is not as good as women, so they are not very quick at the beginning of the introduction. However, as the practice deepens, you will find that due to the increase in physical resilience, men may gain more benefits from yoga, and their physical strength will become better and their mentality will be more peaceful. Secondly, yoga not only sculpts the external image, but also gives people a kind of inner strength. After a period of exercise from the inside out and from the outside in, people will be surprised to find that while losing a few kilograms of weight, their mentality is also completely different. Most women practice yoga to seek a more perfect body. When doing movements, they also care about the beauty of their posture. Men do not pay great attention to the beauty of movements, but can better understand the true meaning of yoga's self-cultivation. Although flexibility is important in the initial stage of yoga, the more difficult the movements you practice, the higher the requirement for strength. Many movements are almost impossible for women to complete, while men can easily complete them.

A simple and comfortable practice environment and a perfect and safe practice process are important factors in modern people's obsession with yoga. Qingniao Yoga adheres to the excellent characteristics of yoga and fitness, and hopes to develop it into the most fashionable and popular fitness method in modern China society.
