The yoga studio is full of coaches with half a bucket of water

You can become a coach in a few days of training

"Currently, many yoga instructors who teach lack adequate professional training." Ms. Zhang, who has been practicing yoga for many years in Nanhai District, told reporters about her confusion,"How can you let a beginner who has only started for a few months be your guide?"

But so far, no country or region's government has issued rules and regulations to review the qualifications of yoga instructors. The demand for yoga instructors has increased significantly, resulting in many yoga instructors only taking a few months from knowing nothing to completing teaching.

The reporter visited and investigated several yoga studios in Chancheng, and the relevant officials were hesitant about the issue of coach qualifications. They either said in general that their yoga instructors had received formal training in Beijing, or repeatedly emphasized that coaches had been in the industry for many years and avoided talking about qualification issues.

Can practicing yoga quickly lose weight?

"As long as the coach can do well and help you lose weight, it's fine." Miss Wang's understanding, like many women who love beauty nowadays, is actually misunderstanding the original intention of yoga. At present, many yoga studios attract quite a number of women with advertisements such as "lose weight and beauty". A coach who did not want to be named told reporters that in fact, the yoga studio's slogan of "×× time to lose weight ×× kilograms" was impossible.

Beginners try to be strong and strain ligaments

The reporter had an in-depth understanding and found that there were also some problems in the setting up of yoga courses. For example, the course does not distinguish between beginners and skilled people, and everyone follows the coach to do the same movements. As a result, many beginners cannot do the movements, but try hard to pull apart their ligaments, and even get injured.

Miss Tong, who was a beginner in yoga, lacked proper guidance when practicing yoga. She followed the coach to perform difficult movements from the beginning, causing a back strain. She is still receiving treatment from a doctor.

According to relevant experts, as long as you practice properly and pay attention to the intensity and duration of the movements, yoga can achieve certain effects in improving the body. However, at present, many people aim at losing weight, unilaterally pursue the amount of exercise, and excessively imitate the teacher's movements. Some coaches also lack scientific guidance, resulting in frequent injuries to students.

Recently, more and more fashionable women in Foshan have joined the ranks of practicing yoga. However, muscle strains and spinal injuries caused by improper yoga practice are also quietly occurring in hospitals. The reporter's investigation found that many yoga teachers do not have coaching qualifications, and there are a series of problems in the setting up of yoga courses.

An increase in the number of injured patients practicing yoga improperly

Zhou Changdou, deputy director of the Rehabilitation Department of Nanhai District Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, told reporters that the number of patients coming to the hospital for treatment has increased significantly in recent years due to injuries caused by yoga or other physical exercises. The main injuries are ligament, joint and muscle strains, which are usually caused by subcutaneous tissue congestion, joint redness and even obstacles. "Practicing yoga should not pursue the range of movements unilaterally, but should focus on regulating breathing on the basis of adequate warm-up preparation." Zhou Changdou said.
