How to practice yoga?

The pace of development in today's society is very fast, and there are all kinds of temptations in society. These temptations can make people's mood become impetuous, and they often cannot calm down to study and work seriously, so they often waste precious time. In order to solve this problem, everyone can develop the habit of doing yoga. Doing yoga can calm people's mood and make the whole person's mood become very comfortable. If you don’t know how to practice yoga, let’s learn relevant knowledge below.

How to practice yoga?

Section 1 Control

The process of yoga asana practice is carried out under the control of the practitioner. However, in the actual practice process, practitioners are always impatient to put the movements to a specific position and wait for the coach's command. People who practice by reading books on their own are more likely to pursue the results of posture.

This practice method of omitting the process seems to be fine, but the reality is that perhaps in this unconscious omission process, the connotation of yoga practice is also being omitted. Inertial practice is one of the common problems among yoga practitioners. Inertia can help practitioners complete many difficult movements, giving them a sense of accomplishment. Therefore, even if the coach emphasizes the need to control one's body during practice, students often turn a deaf ear to it and continue to do nothing.

In fact, this control is the core connotation of yoga asanas: the body's feelings often affect people's consciousness, and controlling the body can indirectly achieve the effect of controlling consciousness.

The second section is in place

In place, this is a professional term often used by yoga instructors during the teaching process. The so-called being in place actually means exploring the details of the asana exercise as much as possible during practice and improving the efficiency of the asana exercise, so that the part can be exercised more effectively.

For example, Triangle Pose is one of the few scoliosis-related yoga postures, and the correct way to practice it is to focus on scoliosis - how to make scoliosis exercises most efficient. During practice, some practitioners see other practitioners bending to a large extent. The implicit sense of comparison prompts the body to sink continuously. As a result, the fingers can touch the ground. The practitioners feel complacent and have a sense of accomplishment.

If you observe carefully, you will find that practitioners inadvertently push their hips backward when pursuing the degree of side bend. Although the front view looks impressive, the side view shows that the body is not in one plane. Since the body is not in the same plane, the weight of the upper body borne by the spine also changes due to the shift of the center of gravity and moves to the hip area... In this way, the original meaning of exercising the spine is lost. From the perspective of exercising the spine, this way of practicing is not effective!

Section 3 Maintenance

After the movements are in place, yoga postures are usually maintained for a period of time. This maintenance process can create enough reaction time for the limbs so that the tendons, spine and joints can be fully stretched and opened. At the same time, the blood can fully nourish the stretched and squeezed areas, giving the stretched and squeezed parts enough adjustment time to restore the elasticity and vitality of the area. In club yoga classes, in order to take all practitioners into consideration, yoga postures are generally only maintained for five breaths. However, for ordinary practitioners, five deep breaths are enough for the body to react. However, what is popular in the yoga market now is not this kind of practice, but some fast-paced practice methods.

Analyzing from the large amount of information we have received as feedback, many yoga enthusiasts have this kind of understanding of yoga. Because with the help of inertia, they can make their movements more difficult and increase the amount of exercise. Often after a class, they are covered in sweat and have a great sense of accomplishment. This is a practice that replaces the yoga concept of fitness with the typical sports concept of fitness. There are two possible reasons why a bad model can be promoted and spread over a large area.

Relaxation in the fourth quarter

When doing physical exercise, muscle tension is a human instinctive reaction. Once the muscles become tense, the flow of energy in the meridians is restricted, and the breath cannot flow smoothly. Yoga practice then changes from following the body's natural course to forcing it, which can cause a series of movement problems.
