Five questions about yoga
Yoga is becoming more and more popular now. Such a simple set of actions has helped thousands of people. Not only has the body been exercised, but the mind has also been purified. However, many friends still have many questions about yoga. Here are five questions:
Question 1: I’m probably too fat to practice yoga, right?
Rest assured, no such thing, yoga is for everyone. In order not to embarrass people, there are even yoga fitness programs designed for obese people. There is a 242-pound yoga instructor in the United States. She used to be a triathlon athlete, and later switched to teaching yoga. She said: "You don't need to wait until you become slender to start learning yoga. That way, can you get involved with yoga in the Year of the Monkey? You can sign up for action anytime you want to learn."
Question 2: My flexibility is not good enough, is it not suitable for yoga?
Don't worry, there is no such thing. The yoga masters you see who have their feet around the neck may have been practicing for ten or twenty years. You don’t have to be inferior. There is no competition in yoga. Self-improvement is the most important gain. Do yoga, take your time, don't worry, don't have to rush for quick success, just make a little progress according to your actual situation-yoga is tolerant and enjoyable.
Many yoga instructors often refer to the phrase "50 years of yoga", that is, if you do the "down dog pose" this year, the heel will not touch the ground. It doesn't matter. One day in the next 49 years, the heel will touch the ground. Ground. In addition, many yoga instructors will teach practitioners that the sense of purpose need not be too strong.
Question 3: Can I lose weight through yoga?
Yes, there are many yoga movements for weight loss, and different types of yoga have different effects. For example, to burn calories, you should do ashtanga instead of yin yoga.
But calorie burning is not the focus of yoga classes. If you really want to lose weight, you must join aerobic exercises, such as walking, jogging, swimming, etc. If you really want to strengthen your muscles, you need to join powerlifting exercises, so that the combination will work faster.
Question 4: I am religious, can I practice yoga?
Yes, although yoga music sometimes has a religious color, Ganesha the ganesha sometimes appears in yoga teaching videos, which is easy to be resisted by other believers. But yoga focuses on spiritual enjoyment and physical exercise. It has nothing to do with religion. People who believe in other religions will not be forced to accept uncomfortable religious actions.
Question 5: What kind of clothes do I need?
It's ok to be loose and comfortable, there is no fixed dressing requirement. To know if your clothes are suitable, you can try to do a downward dog pose (pictured) to see if it is too tight or run out. Bare feet, remove all accessories, such as bracelets, earrings, necklaces, watches, etc.
The above are the answers to these five questions. I hope that the answers compiled by the editor can be helpful to everyone. In general, yoga is a very good health exercise. I hope everyone can stick to it.
