There are many different factions in the development of yoga, and "high temperature yoga" is one of them, which was founded by Indian Bickram on the basis of the original Hada yoga. Bikram Yoga consists of 26 basic movements, selected from traditional yoga postures. Adopt two kinds of breathing methods, and scientifically arrange the breath-holding order according to the characteristics of human muscles and ligaments. The order in practice should not be disturbed, because each position is to prepare for the next position. Once disturbed, it will affect the practice effect of the whole class.
India is the birthplace of yoga, Bikram yoga requires room temperature between 38 and 40 degrees Celsius, in order to better restore India's fiery climate. When you practice yoga without heat, your body is easily injured. The heat provided by the high-temperature yoga room can play a deeper role in pulling, squeezing and massaging the internal organs of your body, promoting blood circulation, regulating the balance in your body, and reducing the possible injuries caused by stretching exercise in a tense and stiff state.
Advocates of Bikram Yoga believe that this kind of exercise can restore the body to a state of balance and coordination within 90 minutes, so that the whole body can be exercised, and fresh blood filled with oxygen can be systematically delivered to all parts of the body at a speed of 65,438+0,000%, thus returning to a healthy and natural working state.
The movements of high-temperature yoga practice are relatively fixed and will not distract the practitioners; In this way, practitioners will not spend their energy on unfamiliar movements, but concentrate their consciousness on the body and experience the subtle changes brought by each movement. In addition, the specific breathing mode of Bikram Yoga is also formulated according to the human body's reaction at high temperature, thus making the effect of exercise more obvious.
However, some people hold a negative attitude towards this. The chief yoga instructor of the Mikan Health College in California said, "Be careful of the side effects when practicing high-temperature yoga."
Guo Jian believes that high-temperature yoga violates the principle of traditional yoga, because the indoor high-temperature environment of 38℃ to 40℃ is artificially created. Low air humidity, less negative oxygen ions and more free radicals will all have side effects.
Guo Jian also said that due to the high temperature environment, people's throat mucosa is in a state of water shortage for a long time. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the lungs need long-term moisturizing care, but high temperature will dry the lungs, so it is harmful to people's respiratory system. From the perspective of yoga health, high-temperature yoga consumes too much life energy, and the high-temperature environment makes people's metabolism very strong, which is itself a kind of consumption. When doing some strength yoga movements, it will accelerate the aging of human organs and induce diseases. Doing exercise in a high temperature environment will increase the burden on the heart and bring serious consequences to patients with chronic diseases such as hypertension, hypotension and diabetes.
Many women choose high-temperature yoga only from the perspective of detoxification and weight loss. Guo Jian said: "You can choose the sauna to detoxify, and the time is about 15 minutes. However, high-temperature yoga classes lasting 60 to 90 minutes will accelerate the aging of body cells. After finishing, you should rely on a lot of diet and water to supplement it. Even if the weight loss effect is obvious, it is short-lived and easy to rebound. "
Ms. Lin Min, a famous yoga instructor, thinks that all bikram yoga systems in China are not perfect, and none of them are perfect. Just a suggestion. For a gym or yoga studio, we must be very clear about its principles and laws, and its ventilation system and temperature regulation system must be very reasonable. Because it is not only the temperature, but also the ventilation system that regulates it, and it is very important for the coach to guide the students to drink water during the practice. Also, many employees in China have heart disease and high blood pressure. Whether they will have any adverse reactions in such a high temperature place, many coaches must find out before doing it, not just seeing its commercial value.
