Three reasons to make women fall in love with summer

Strike a yoga pose, show off your brightly painted toes, show off your new belly button piercing, lick a sip of vanilla ice cream, and start a cool summer!

At least three reasons why we love summer cool yoga!

Reasons for Chinese medicine

“The three months of summer are called the time of growth and proliferation, when the qi of heaven and earth interact, and all things blossom and bear fruit,” the Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine says about summer. It means that in summer, the sun shines down, the ground heats up, and the qi of heaven and earth merge. Summer is the season with the strongest Yang energy and abundant vitality. Plants bloom and bear fruit, and all things flourish and become beautiful. The body's Yang energy radiates outward, while Yin energy is hidden within. Qi and blood flow vigorously and are active on the body's surface. The advent of air conditioning allows us to pretend that we don’t care about the four seasons, but our bodies still enter summer on time and operate according to summer rules. Therefore, Chinese medicine reminds us that in summer, we should pay special attention to protecting the yang energy in the body and not harm the yang energy in the body because of greed for coolness.

Reasons for yoga

In summer, correct yoga practice can open the pores of the skin, allowing sweat and dirt in the body to be discharged smoothly, regulating body temperature, eliminating heat, and protecting the body's yang energy. Yoga combs and massages the internal organs, the seven meridians and eight vessels, making the whole body unobstructed, balancing the qi and blood of the whole body and making the body feel comfortable.

Bikini reasons

The weight loss effect of yoga can help us save the bikini that has been neglected because of the "life buoy" around the waist.

Time is up! Let us begin, fall in love with cool yoga, fall in love with the prosperous season, fall in love with the feeling of sweat flowing through the body, and fall in love with our own devilish figure!

Triangle pose

Cooling effect: The posture is simple and easy to learn. You should be calm and move slowly during the practice. Focus on the movement and stretching of your body to gradually calm the irritability in your heart.

Effect: Increase the flexibility of the whole body, regulate endocrine, treat skin diseases such as acne and scabies, and make the skin rosy and smooth.

Posture: Stand upright, spread your legs as far as possible, point your left toe forward, point your right leg to the right, and open your arms to both sides, parallel to the ground. Inhale, stretch your waist to the right, and slowly move downward, touching the back of your right foot or the ground with your right hand. Raise your left arm with your palm facing forward and your eyes fixed on your left hand. Keep your arms in a straight line. Try to twist your waist to bring your chest forward and maintain natural, deep breathing.

Fish pose

Cooling effect: increases lung elasticity and makes breathing deeper. Regulates thyroid secretion, promotes blood circulation in the back and peripheral nerves of the spine, and makes you feel refreshed.

Beauty effect: Keep the back and chest upright, correct the chin contour, and beautify the face shape.

Posture: Sit with your legs in full lotus position. As you exhale, slowly lean your body back, supporting your elbows on the ground. Once your body is completely down, lift your chest, lower your head to the ground, and grab the toes of your feet with your hands. Keep breathing naturally.

Baby's Pose

Cooling effect: Relaxation, especially when feeling tired. Relax your muscles, breathe steadily and calm your mind.

Beauty effect: reduce excess abdominal fat and eliminate the "lifebuoy".

Position: Sit on your knees with your spine straight and your arms hanging at your sides. Try to keep your hips on your heels and move your body forward until your forehead touches the ground, with your hands relaxed at your sides.

Seated stretch

Cooling effect: Lotus posture can slow blood flow to the legs and promote blood flow to the trunk. Ensure adequate blood and oxygen supply to eliminate dizziness caused by high temperature.

Beauty effect: The side bending movement can eliminate excess fat on the side waist.

Posture: Sit in simple or lotus position, place your arms on both sides of your body, move your left hand away from your body to the left, inhale, and slowly raise your right arm to your ear. Exhale, slowly bend your body to the left to your limit, maintain natural breathing, slowly return to the original position, and repeat on the other side.

Cooling and regulating breathing

1. In any yoga sitting posture, if your legs are stiff, you can sit on a chair. Keep your spine straight and place your hands comfortably on your knees or together.

2. Open your mouth, stick out your tongue a little and curl it into a tube;

3. Use your tongue as a straw and inhale, feeling the cool air passing through your tongue, trachea, throat, and lungs;

4. The process of inhaling is slow and deep;

5. Close your lips and slowly exhale the waste gas in your body through your nose;

6. You can repeat the breathing exercises as many times as you like, depending on your situation.

Cooling effect: When the tongue forms a vertical tube, the air entering the lungs immediately becomes cool, which can stabilize the heat in the body, relax the muscles of the whole body, and create a feeling of tranquility and serenity. It promotes the activities of the liver and spleen, enhances digestion, and also has the effect of quenching thirst.

Yoga Nidra

1. Lie in a comfortable and relaxed position (you can also lie on your back with your legs straight and your arms on both sides of your body open at a 30-degree angle). Relax your facial muscles, close your eyes, purse your lips, and relax your whole body;

2. Take three deep breaths first, and then return to natural breathing. Imagine your body becoming lighter and lighter, like a cloud rising into the sky, floating higher and higher, flying farther and farther, and wandering in the sky;

3. While relaxing your body and mind, keep your brain clear and experience the complete relaxation in your wakefulness. Mountains, rivers, canyons, flowers and plants will fly past your sight, making you feel relaxed and happy...

Cooling effect

When doing yoga relaxation, do not let your mind wander, maintain a certain level of awareness, allow the cerebral cortex to relax and rest, stabilize your blood pressure, feel peaceful and tranquil, and eliminate physical and psychological heat.

A 10-minute yoga break is equivalent to two hours of sleep.
