How to practice yoga in winter

When winter comes, many people are afraid of the cold and their exercise will decrease. In addition, due to their diet, many people will gain weight in winter, but many people who like sports will still insist on exercising. Running and swimming are both fine, and of course some patients also do yoga. So how to practice yoga in winter? Patients doing yoga at this time should pay attention to the indoor temperature, and also pay attention to warming up before exercise, and then practice after the body has adapted.

The postures and breathing techniques should be different according to the temperature. The reason is that it is difficult to relax the muscles and achieve deep stretching when it is cold. Moreover, when doing breathing techniques, the temperature is low and it is not comfortable to breathe in the cold air, right?

Before warming up, drink some warm water to raise your body temperature. Then, whether you are doing warm-up or entering important asanas, you will be able to get into the state faster. It is best to warm up in cold weather with large movements and repeated large muscle movements. For example, standing and doing leg muscle exercises will warm up the body quickly. Although you don't necessarily need to sweat when warming up, if you drive on the road without warming up enough like a car, you will feel that many actions are difficult when it is cold.

Next is the asana part. If you want to keep yourself from getting too cold, there are only two ways: coordinate your breathing with the movements and do it more deeply. You can use Ujayyi breathing (breathing in to the bottom of the lungs, protruding the diaphragm, and making a hissing sound) or abdominal breathing (breathing in to the abdomen, protruding the abdomen). As long as you focus on the coordination of movement and breathing, you will find that insufficient oxygen will allow us to burn more calories and allow ourselves to enter the state faster.

To make oneself do it more deeply means that when you stay in a certain collective position, you don't just stay there, but you should keep stretching or changing it to make this collective position a little deeper. However, when you are working hard, please remember to keep warm. Otherwise, you will easily catch a cold when your pores open after just sweating.

When practicing yoga in winter, you need to pay attention to relevant matters, such as:

1. When practicing, you need to maintain a quiet environment indoors and pay attention to air circulation to avoid hypoxia.

2. The location can be on the bed or on the ground. But be careful not to practice on a bed that is too soft. At the same time, you should prepare a yoga mat. It is best to have professional yoga clothes, pajamas are also OK, as long as they are loose and comfortable. Practice barefoot.

3. You can study by following the CD, but be sure to pay attention and do not practice while watching. You should practice after watching. This is because practicing yoga requires concentration. If you watch while doing it, your energy will be dispersed and you will not achieve the ultimate goal of practicing yoga.

4. When practicing yoga, you must strictly require yourself to follow the correct movements, and don't just do it in a perfunctory manner. You should complete the movements exactly as directed on the CD. At the beginning, just do as much as you can remember, and be more casual about it. Just keep your breathing and posture calm.
