First, the benefits of practicing yoga:
1 can eliminate fatigue and calm the mind. Keep people comfortable and quiet, and fully enjoy life.
2 can maintain posture balance. Yogis believe that many diseases of human body, such as cervical spondylosis and lumbar spondylosis, are caused by incorrect posture and disorder. Through practice, every facet joint, spine, muscle, ligament and blood vessel can be in good condition.
3 can purify blood, regulate weight, effectively eliminate fat and maintain a balanced diet.
4 *** The endocrine system maintains endocrine balance.
At the same time, yoga can also achieve the purpose of losing weight mainly through the following ways:
1 Some exercises can increase the hormone release of relaxed glands. Because the thyroid gland is directly related to the metabolism of the body, it will affect the weight. Yoga can also speed up fat metabolism, so fat will be converted into muscle and energy.
Deep breathing exercise in yoga can increase the oxygen uptake of cells in the body, including fat cells, increase oxygenation and burn more fat cells.
Second, the benefits of practicing Tai Ji Chuan:
(1) The characteristics of Tai Ji Chuan are obvious in appearance. Generally, foreign boxing should have the spirit of holding your head high and correcting your bravery. Taiji preach to "hold your head up, close your hips, loosen your shoulders, sink your elbows, hold your chest, pull your back, wrap your hips and tighten your ribs", showing a relaxed manner. Generally, the external fist should be strong and swift, but Tai Ji Chuan should be "loose, slow, round and harmonious". This is a predictable feature.
(2) This posture has its special significance. Lifting the top, closing the hips, raising the chest and pulling the back are the main training methods to lift the spirit, sink the breath and make the breath deep and thin. Increasing shoulder relaxation and rib binding can expand the range of vital capacity and rib inhalation, and also create favorable conditions for abdominal wall muscles and diaphragm to cooperate with deep and fine breathing activities. Elbow sinking is the main training method to ensure that the posture of relaxing shoulders and binding ribs is not damaged by pulling when the arms are rotating, especially when the arms are lifted up. At the same time, it is also the main training method to practice both arms flexibly and uncontrollably. Hip wrapping is the key to ensure that the "hip" is genuine, and it is also an important link to stabilize the abdomen when transporting the waist. This is a kind of body posture rule that restricts and helps each other, and it plays a great role in practicing Qi. There is a way to coordinate movements with breathing. According to my experience, this is unnecessary. As long as the correct posture and operating rules are mastered, the posture will not go out of shape, and the internal qi can adjust itself, and the effect of deep breathing is among them. Pay attention to the coordination of breathing when practicing boxing, but it will distract you, you can't get the correct posture, and your spirit is not concentrated enough. Because the posture and methods at school are not skilled, there is no time to control breathing, cooperate hard, or have abusive behavior. While mastering posture and routines skillfully, we should pay attention to further mastering the new conditions of posture and operation. If we still pay attention to the coordination of breathing, we can only make the movements stagnate and make the mistake of "Qi depression" as Wu Yuxiang said. Therefore, I advocate constantly paying attention to practicing qi in the accuracy of posture and operation, rather than deliberately using breathing to cooperate. As for doing another deep breathing exercise, it's not about practicing Tai Ji Chuan.
Question 2: What are the benefits of practicing Tai Chi and yoga? What is the difference? The principle of yoga fitness Modern people have a fast pace of life and great mental stress. Coupled with insufficient exercise, environmental pollution and other factors, many people are in a sub-health state, and the number of people suffering from psychosomatic diseases has increased significantly. 1. Three States of disease: Contemporary holistic medical scholars first put forward three States of disease: the first is dislasl, that is, the patient's body has physiological or/and psychological dysfunction; The second is disease, that is, the patient has a dysfunctional mental state, that is, subjectively feels various discomforts, including pain, but does not necessarily have objective signs, such as neurosis and neurasthenia; The third is illness, which involves social dysfunction after illness and affects the relationship between individuals and others. 2, the characteristics of yoga fitness: Yoga pays attention to the overall conditioning, practicing yoga can not only make the body healthy, but also correct mental agitation and emotional disorder, ensuring a sound spirit and positive vitality. 3. The purpose of yoga fitness: From a physiological point of view, it is to make the autonomic nervous system and endocrine system function normally. From the psychological point of view, it is to promote the peace of mind, develop intuitive ability and cultivate a healthy spirit full of hope. 4. The principle of yoga fitness can be understood from three aspects: pranayama-yoga breathing: breathing is the most basic expression of our life. Similarities between medicine, health care and religion in the East and the West: it is believed that breathing is not only related to life, but also closely related to the spiritual world and the internal potential of the human body. Physical Adjustment-Yoga * * * Method: Yoga * * method is an auxiliary method to practice meditation, aiming at improving metabolism and physical fitness. The spine is the central pillar of the human body, and the motor nerves, sensory nerves and autonomic nerves that dominate the internal organs all pass through the spine. Yoga makes all parts of the body bend, stretch and twist by standing, sitting, kneeling, lying and standing upside down. , and the spine, muscles and internal organs play the role of self * * * and traction. It can regulate nervous system and endocrine system, and achieve the effects of health care, fat reduction, body shaping and beauty. Self-adjustment-Yoga meditation: Meditation is a state of consciousness, a way to communicate with the subconscious and a basic skill in spiritual life. This is good for everyone, especially mental workers and nervous people. In meditation, people's excessive thinking will calm down and turn to their inner world. Just like charging, restoring physical strength and endurance, improving mental strength and improving the ability to concentrate will can bring clear thinking and a peaceful inner world. Benefits of learning from Tai Ji Chuan 1) Physiological benefits: Tai Ji Chuan combined traditional guidance and breathing, and paid attention to the close cooperation of physical training, qi training and psychological training. On the one hand, it can exercise muscles, relax muscles and activate muscles; On the other hand, through the coordination of breathing and movement, the five internal organs are forged to achieve the effect of strengthening the body. Benefit 1: Increase the sensitivity of the nervous system-Tai Ji Chuan requires "quietness and steadiness", while when practicing boxing, the cerebral cortex must rest (quietness), and the task of coordinating the functions of internal and external organs of the whole body is entrusted to the central nervous system (steadiness), which strengthens the sensitivity of the nervous system. Benefit 2: Smooth the channels and collaterals, blood vessels, lymph and circulatory system ―― Because the time for practicing Tai Ji Chuan is not too short, it can make blood gas run smoothly like ordinary aerobic exercise. After practicing for a certain period of time, you will feel numbness in your fingertips, slight joint murmur, acupuncture, abdominal sound and so on. According to China's medical theory, it is considered that this is a reaction to the patency of meridians. By bending knees and twisting, squeezing and relaxing arterial blood vessels can accelerate blood circulation, increase oxygen supply, promote the metabolism of lymphatic system and enhance personal resistance. Benefit 3: Benefit 3: Improve flexibility, muscle strength and muscle endurance ―― Tai Ji Chuan usually walks slowly in circles and arcs, and with leg bending and semi-squatting, the center of gravity changes alternately, so that the muscle strength and muscle endurance of each muscle are improved; The flexibility of each joint can be improved by multi-directional and large-scale activities such as the following formula and kicking. Benefit 4: Improve heart and lung function ―― To practice Tai Ji Chuan, keep breathing naturally and smoothly. Through deep, long, thin, slow and even abdominal breathing, the chest volume can be increased, and the times of oxygen inhalation and carbon respiration can be increased, thus ensuring the full exchange of gas and relatively improving the oxygen utilization rate of various organs. Because it takes a long time to practice Tai Ji Chuan (it takes more than 20 minutes to play 24-style Tai Ji Chuan four times in a row), these aerobic activities can be trained and improved ...

Of course, chronic diseases will also be isolated from you.

"the heart is floating and the gas is dry." Yoga regulates the disordered mood by regulating the blocked airflow in the body.

(7) Relieve psychological pressure:
Controlling emotions, strengthening self-spirit, relieving sadness and fatigue are the words that everyone keeps telling themselves in modern life. How many people really live freely and carefree? The mind needs constant strengthening and purification. Just like people breathing fresh air, learning yoga is a series of chain reactions, from the pranayama of the body to the purification of the soul. People's thoughts and emotions exist in the body. Through exercise and relaxation, we focus on stretching and strengthening parts. When the body and mind are completely relaxed and concentrate on stretching limbs, a kind of "endorphin" will be produced in the body, which will make people feel happy, stable and release emotions, and make people produce positive thoughts, and gradually reach the state of "relaxation and peace of mind" and "integration of body and mind". Yoga's complete breathing method can strengthen abdominal organs, control breathing speed, regulate autonomic nerves, control heart rate and relieve tension.

Question 4: What are the advantages and disadvantages of yoga compared with Tai Ji Chuan? It is difficult to develop a professional Tai Ji Chuan Pavilion. A friend mentioned that it's not that I don't like Tai Ji Chuan, but that I don't know where to practice Tai Ji Chuan. In fact, there is no professional Tai Ji Chuan Pavilion in Fuzhou at present.
"If the museum is open for fees, middle-aged and elderly people may not come. In the case of insufficient publicity and young people's lack of understanding of Tai Ji Chuan, there is almost no market for launching a special Tai Ji Chuan Pavilion like yoga. " Professor Hu said.
As for where to study Tai Ji Chuan? Parks and squares are places where practitioners are concentrated, but if you want to learn well, you can consult various Wushu associations.
Yoga instructors did not create a fashionable atmosphere when watching Tai Chi Chuan.
Both yoga instructors believe that Tai Ji Chuan and yoga have a lot in common, and they are both the essence of oriental philosophy. Qin Shihuang said: "Yoga emphasizes the form, while Tai Chi emphasizes the spirit. But yoga, like Tai Chi, pays attention to the use of qi. "
Zhang Hong believes that amateurs always think that Tai Ji Chuan is practiced by the elderly, and more young people like fancy forms and exciting and energetic sports. "You see, there are many stars practicing yoga now, and there are many yoga studios promoting yoga, all of which need positive publicity. Moreover, many people think that yoga has changed their lives and they like yoga. In fact, many young people think that practicing yoga is a symbol of fashion. "
"No one built it in Tai Chi Chuan. There are no fashionable museums or commercial places. " Qin Shihuang also mentioned the same view. Students watching Tai Chi Chuan and Tai Chi Chuan made me "calm down"
Xu Chen: 23 years old, practicing Tai Ji Chuan 1 year.
I feel a lot about practicing Tai Ji Chuan. The most prominent thing is that I corrected my impetuous character. Now I am calm and sober.
When the school took the Tai Ji Chuan exam, most students couldn't remember their own actions, so they asked me to take the exam together, but my Tai Ji Chuan was slow, so I couldn't wait to follow my classmates, and they were all very upset.
Chen Xianting: He practiced Tai Ji Chuan for 5 years at the age of 30.
As a practitioner of yoga, Tai Ji Chuan, like yoga, can keep fit, cultivate one's morality and cultivate one's nature.
I like the theory of Tai Chi and the way of practicing Tai Chi, like the style of yoga, and like the exercise of yoga on every muscle of the human body. be a guest

Question 5: Yoga and the average life expectancy of Tai Ji Chuan people. Personally, I think people named Tai Chi Chuan live longer. You can check the famous Taiji Chuan people in the past, all of whom live longer.
Question 6: Yoga or Tai Chi, which is better? Yoga and Tai Chi are the quintessence of Indian and China respectively. It depends on your situation. Which one are you more interested in? If you are very old now and your flexibility is basically zero, you should recommend Tai Chi.
Question 7: Which is more suitable for health preservation, Tai Ji Chuan or yoga? Both of them are suitable. However, yoga is not only suitable for health preservation, but also suitable for conditioning the body.
Question 8: What's the difference between yoga and Tai Chi? * * * Similarity: Both of them are fitness and self-cultivation, and they need a quiet place to practice and pay attention to their inner cultivation. Difference: I practiced yoga to explain. Tai Ji Chuan combines the essence of Yijing, Bagua, Meridian, Guidance, Breathing and Inhalation, Classical Philosophy and various boxing methods. So it evolved into "Peng, Hit, Squeeze, Press, Pick, # Elbow, Lean, Look Left and Right", which has both offensive and defensive functions. It is characterized by luck, whole body twitching, waist dominating, whole body following, combining rigidity with softness, alternating speed, shape like running water, continuous, soft and strong, and iron wrapped in cotton.
Question 9: Both Tai Ji Chuan and yoga are good for keeping healthy. Yoga also involves philosophical things, depending on your personal preference.
Question 10: For women, which is better, yoga or Tai Chi, each has its own advantages. Tai Chi pays attention to staying indoors for ten years and needs repeated practice to understand. Yoga is direct and suitable for current cultural fast food.
