In fact, practicing yoga in winter has many benefits.
"Many women have cold hands and feet in winter, and practicing yoga can improve this situation." Wen Wen said that Chinese medicine believes that because the nerve endings of hands and feet are far away from the heart, cold weather leads to vasoconstriction and insufficient blood supply, which leads to cold hands and feet. Yoga will promote blood circulation, thus achieving the effect of warming hands and feet. Besides, practicing yoga in winter can burn calories and help to keep a healthy figure.
Not only that, practicing yoga in winter can also adjust your mood. Everything is depressed in winter, which makes people feel depressed easily. Winter coincides with the end of the year, and heavy work and pressure can also lead to emotional imbalance. This season, practicing yoga helps to get rid of bad emotions, enhance thinking ability and make people feel happy.
It is worth noting that the temperature drops in winter, human capillaries contract, and ligaments and muscles become stiff. Therefore, when practicing yoga, we should not only warm up before exercise, but also not overstretch to avoid injury.
Yoga can spark with TCM theory.
Maybe you have practiced high-temperature yoga and slimming yoga, but have you ever heard of Five Elements Yoga? "The five elements are wood, fire, earth, gold and water, representing five attributes. Chinese medicine uses five elements to describe the functions and relationships of the five internal organs (namely, liver, heart, spleen, lung and kidney). " Wen Wen, coach of Jingxinlian Yoga Club, said that Wuxing Yoga is a combination of Indian traditional yoga and China's Yin-Yang and Five Elements. Through the five elements of the human body, yoga postures are used to regulate internal organs, thus achieving the connection and integration of body, mind and everything in the world.
According to reports, Wuxing Yoga is self-taught by Meditation Club. Wen Wen believes that people can not only regulate internal organs and achieve the balance of yin and yang, but also reduce the pressure on internal organs and eliminate toxins. "Toxins out, skin color will naturally get better. Women practicing five-element yoga can also prevent diseases and regulate inflammation. " Wen Wen said.
In addition to the five elements yoga, yoga balance is also a new way of fitness. Through the smooth yoga balance posture practice, people's body and mind are calm. "When the body and mind are in balance, people will be healthy and happy," Wen Wen explained. Let yoga and Chinese medicine theory spark, perhaps, a new yoga trend is coming.
