Selection method of yoga studio
1, see the coach:
The main difference between yoga and acrobatic dance is that the movements of yoga are completely in line with sports medicine, while acrobatic dance is for beauty, at the expense of the health of performers. Therefore, it is fundamentally wrong to confuse yoga with dance acrobatics. For coaches, first ask their professional knowledge, such as what they think yoga is, such as what kind of movements are safe and effective. What's the difference between yoga and acrobatic dancing? What are the three necessary conditions for safe and effective action, and so on. The second way to meet the coach is to ask him what he used to do. Coaches who switch from dance acrobatics are usually graceful, but because they don't start from yoga, they can't use yoga to guide their members.
2. Look at the environment:
Yoga practice environment is very important. Imagine what it's like to practice yoga every day and the coach keeps selling beauty in your ear.
In order to save costs, some yoga places use extremely thin mats for members to do training on the mats. Everyone should know that once our knees, patellas and spinous processes are injured, the consequences for our health are extremely serious.
3. Look at the course:
Yoga is more than just posture exercises. As a professional yoga studio, whether you can teach breathing, posture, cleaning, principles, rest, meditation, binding, fitting and other aspects is as important to consumers as whether the merchants can provide real goods.
As for the practice time, because there is no time limit for yoga practice, professional places will never use time limit as an excuse to arrange only two or three classes a week.
Yoga is a very good science. Mao Zedong said that practice is the only criterion for testing truth, and yoga is a sport practiced by countless people for 5,000 years, and it is recognized by the world that it is rarely hurt by sports. But now, with the rise of yoga fever in China, the so-called yoga disease has appeared, which is the sports injury caused by improper yoga practice. As a result, some Mr. Nanguo has an unshirkable responsibility as a coach. Here, I hope this essay can give you the help you deserve and let more friends benefit from real yoga.
"Should I practice yoga at home or go to a professional yoga studio?" The last time I was asked this question was at a large gathering of friends. The question is asked by a new mother whose child is only four months old. Before that, many friends, like her, had heard of or witnessed the magical weight-loss effect of yoga, but because of time and environment, they had been slow to make up their minds to start practicing.
From my personal practical experience, I started with self-study. At that time, the only place to practice yoga was the bed in the dormitory, and there was no yoga music. But because of my concentration and interest, I will soon be able to enter the practice state and make rapid progress. Later, after I had the conditions to go to the yoga studio, I practiced a few lessons with the yoga teacher, and I felt that the practice knowledge was rich, but the effect was not as obvious as when I practiced alone-mainly because I needed to cooperate with the teacher's breathing length, and there were too many people, so it was not easy to concentrate.
Of course, this is just my personal experience sharing. I suggest you try both environments, and soon you will know which one is more suitable for you. The following summarizes the characteristics of the two places for your reference.
Practice yoga at home
Suitable for the crowd: there is a venue and environment suitable for yoga practice at home, knowing basic fitness knowledge and strong self-study ability.
Practice tools: yoga blanket (I personally think that a small mattress that is easy to clean at home is better, but not too thick), yoga book (or CD-ROM, I prefer books because I can understand the principles of yoga practice and facilitate self-guidance).
Environmental advantages: strong autonomy, you can arrange your own time (it is recommended to practice at a fixed time every day) and exercise content according to the pace of life.
There may be risks in the environment: there is no special guidance and you need to explore it yourself.
Practice yoga in the yoga studio
Suitable for the crowd: people who like to practice in groups and need environmental edification and supervision (in other words, people who are too lazy to practice by themselves).
Exercise tool: Yoga blanket (preferably bring your own).
Environmental advantages: there is a special person to guide and a practice atmosphere.
There may be risks in the environment: the progress of teaching may disrupt the individual's breathing rhythm; Poor air circulation in a poor yoga studio will affect the practice effect.
