Yoga originated in India and was first seen in the northwest river valley of India with meditation, austerities, spiritual practices, and spiritual exercises. Emphasis on duality. It was introduced into the country by Xuanzang, who gave it the name “yoga”, later simplified by the Sanskrit root “yuj” to yoga, also known as yoga. yuj in Sanskrit means to bind, to dominate.
In the earliest days of India, yoga was practiced only by male practitioners, called yogi, and there were no female practitioners because the earliest yoga practitioners had to wear very naked clothes, and women did not have such convenient conditions. Similar to the domestic monasticism. As for the yoga that is widely circulated in the market now, it is just one of the eight branches.
The reason why hata (hata) is so prevalent is because there are so many people in the country 996, the body just needs. And the basic introduction to hata and fitness, just happen to correspond to its market demand. As for the other two mainstream, why not popular, take the buttocks to think also know, now the social pressure is so big. Where do people have time to cultivate the mind. The food can not eat also talk about emotion is not stupid X is what. Asana practice (such as junior high bye day, Ashtanga, Iyengar, etc.) Just one aspect of yoga, in fact, it is more focused on the philosophical thinking, the spiritual spiritual level. But nowadays most people don’t have time to practice mindfulness, they just practice asana.
So it’s hard to go longer on this path. Of course, because there is no complete domestic policy, medical beauty and yoga are currently a red sea of chaos, with a variety of private institutions jointly producing certificates. It is a gray area, and very profitable. (I hope the government will introduce relevant policies as soon as possible.) Most people who do not understand yoga hear yoga, the impression remains: 1. Yoga can neither slim down nor make the body soft. Advanced asanas are not enough. A normal person who insists on practicing two hours a day, within a year, hata all the asanas can not do, I write my name upside down. But most of the time, this kind of doing is just formalism.
Because ordinary people do not know how to build core strength, where the root point is. Which asana corresponds to the contraindications. What is the correct stretch. How to control the breathing. This will lead to more and more confused practice, may briefly seem to do asana, maybe one day out of arthritis, or strain strain injury. As for the practice of yoga, let people become younger is bullshit, I ask you to see, which dance teacher bad temperament? The realistic perspective, the work environment analysis: can only say that long-term engaged in serious physical labor, she will not be fat to where it is.
High-frequency exercise every day, the body Kiyo will not be low. At the same time as a teacher needs to output, from the side will also have brain work. Also in the asana practice of yoga, complete breathing nourishes the lung lobes and allows oxygen to reach the transverse rectus abdominis septalis muscle. Better access to the blood nourishes the body. But only a little. There is no such thing as a radical change. It is better to go to the hospital and see a doctor if you are sick. However, with the correct practice of yoga asana, it is true that some people’s joints can return to the right position and solve a small number of physiological joint misalignment problems.
For example, anterior pelvic tilt, high and low shoulders, collapsed internal and external arches, and poor core strength. To solve a certain degree of hunchback, shoulder shrinkage, relieve part of the back, cervical spine, scapula and other pain problems. Incidentally, it does not allow the internal organs to be deflected. For example, many soldiers have a bad stomach, on the one hand, because the time to eat in the army is not enough, on the other hand, the military posture largely leads to a forward pelvic tilt, which will make the stomach move forward, more likely to catch cold. So many girls you stomach uterine cold, most likely because the daily posture is not right, the pelvis tilted forward caused. The practice of yoga asanas can help relax your body’s joints and relieve muscle tension so that the body relaxes and stretches. It is a more neutral exercise between dance and fitness.
I am emphatically stating here, “No exercise deserves to be mythical!” That includes yoga. If you want to lose weight and get in shape through yoga. Then you might as well hurry up and control your diet, do aerobic and anaerobic directly, and find two personal trainers to work out faster. Today in the school dinner, heard sales selling cards said which which members, practice yoga a month to lose four or five pounds.
I mouth a mouthful of brown rice almost sprayed out. This is completely confused do not understand the yoga white. And what a good preparation for pregnancy, the birth of a child more smoothly. I then wanted to kick this goods to the Pacific Ocean. You have to go to the gym every day to give birth to a child better I believe, on the frequency of this member of the yoga studio three times a week, asana do not know which is which. There is a hairline help for childbirth. At the same time, if you encounter unqualified teachers when practicing yoga, strains and strain injuries are no joke. Some teachers themselves can’t even do standard downward dog and mountain pose. Root force point. Each asana stretching parts.
The taboos of relaxation are not clear yet. It is not harmful to go out and teach on behalf of others? However, although a qualified yoga teacher should have fully mature asana conditions and practice, but more importantly, when she walks onto the podium and stands in front of the mat, she needs to completely complain about her body and mind, and be responsible for the members and her students. In other words, as a teacher, a yoga teacher not only needs to teach students members asanas, but more importantly, to spread a spiritual recursive thought. At present, the real mainstream yoga in the market are: Hatha Yoga, Flow, Yin, Physiotherapy, Ashtanga, Iyengar, Pregnancy, Children, Flying Yoga, etc.. All these mainstream schools have been developed for more than ten years and have a very mature system that has withstood the double baptism of market time. The so-called aerial, dance rhythm. There are also a number of messy, called not on the name. They are so many institutions, in order to enhance the ornamental, to come up with fancy little branches, neither mature, nor definitive evidence, to prove that these schools, can maintain the alignment of the various joints of the spine. I would say that looking good and being healthy are not the same concept.
Yoga is not for showing off, it’s just exercise to make your body healthier. Being good at asana is not necessarily a good teacher either, because asana can be achieved with practice day after day, year after year. But mindfulness, Confucianism. The central idea of Hata is not something that can be achieved through practice alone. This involves a deep level of mindfulness. A qualified teacher must understand yoga completely. He or she must be able to feel and fully understand each asana and truly feel its benefits. And then to spread this positive spirit to his or her students and members.
As for how to choose a teacher, the central idea of our teachers is to have more contact and more feelings. Only through exposure to different teachers can you improve your learning brain latitude. Thus, you will not let your thinking solidify. Don’t keep touching only what you like. Yoga can be from a closed religious practice, to nowadays popular in the north and south. The first person to thank for this is Krishgamadag, and the second is his four disciples. The first disciple Pattabhi (started practicing at the age of 14) founded Ashtanga, the second disciple B.K.S Lueagar is KG’s brother-in-law (started practicing at the age of 18) was weak and sick since childhood, and later founded a softer school: Iyengar. But I have to say, Iyengar is a Chinese name, BK never said this school is called Iyengar, people improve this style, only because most of his disciples are like him, weak and sickly, the core strength is too weak. Once before, when he went to Beijing for a symposium, he said: I’m really curious why you guys named it after me. Obviously I am not dead yet.
The third is his only female student, her husband is an American diplomat, her parents are American officials, and she herself was also a very famous movie star in her early years. indra.devi (started practicing at the age of 20) at that time she learned yoga, which caused a huge sensation in the Western film and television circles, Marilyn Monroe, Hepburn have practiced. After her husband’s death, she returned to her native Argentina and created flow yoga. The first to set up a pavilion in Shanghai to teach were all wives of high officials, one of the more famous being Song Mei Ling. The fourth disciple was KG’s youngest son, who was in his thirties when he learned yoga.
He also wrote a book called um…. I forget, the book records his father’s practice of yoga throughout his life. Teachers who only teach yoga without practicing it themselves are hooligans, because the theoretical knowledge of yoga is always based on asana, and the practice of asana replenishes energy for the body. If you see a yoga teacher who practices on her own, you can rest assured that her teaching level is definitely not good either. The main point of all this is to express that you should not deify any sport on the market. I ask you another question, a boy who keeps fit for a long time, will his body be better than his peers? A girl who practiced ballet from childhood until her death, will her temperament be more colorful than the people around her? You stretch your various joints every day, ankles, knees, pelvis, ribs, shoulder joints spine are in proper position. Wouldn’t there be much less chance of strain injury and internal organs shifting? Is it possible to maintain a relatively calm state of mind by using complete breathing (reaching the transverse abdominal muscle and taking deep breaths) every day? Yoga is a breath of fresh air in a frenetic society, a temporary resting place for the restless mind and body. But I don’t agree with the idea of practicing yoga at a younger age. Even if you do not practice yoga, maintain a high degree of self-discipline, fitness and fat loss, good habits and a healthy attitude towards life. Engage in work that does not cause wear and tear within the mind. I don’t think you will be older than your peers.
So it’s not yoga that makes you young. 80% of yoga teachers go to bed early and wake up early, most of them even get up at 5 or 6 am to meditate or do sun salutations. There are even many practitioners who regularly practice the fasting method mentioned by ygoa. I think that even if you don’t practice yoga, you can maintain this kind of self-disciplined lifestyle. The body and mental outlook will not be any worse.
