The word yoga comes from Indian Sanskrit, which means "consistency", "combination" or "harmony". Yoga originated in ancient India and is one of the six philosophical schools in ancient India. It explores the truth and method of "the unity of Brahma and Me". What modern people call yoga is mainly a series of methods to cultivate one's self-cultivation. Around 300 BC, patanjali, the founder of Indian Yoga, wrote the Yoga Sutra, on the basis of which Indian yoga really took shape, and the practice of yoga was formally defined as a complete eight-branch system. Yoga is a system that helps human beings to give full play to their potential by raising their consciousness. Yoga posture uses ancient and easy-to-master skills to improve people's physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual abilities. It is an exercise method to achieve the harmony and unity of body, mind and spirit, including posture method, breathing method and meditation method, so as to achieve the unity of body and mind. The record of yoga first appeared in the Vedas of India. About 300 BC, patanjali, the ancestor of yoga, elaborated the training course of health preservation and spiritual cultivation in Yoga Sutra, systematized and standardized it, and formed the foundation of contemporary yoga practice. The philosophical principle put forward by patanjali is regarded as a milestone in the spiritual field of yoga.
More and more young people in cities like yoga, an ancient sport. Yoga originated in India. The yogi lives in a secluded mountain forest, observes the laws of nature, and finds that all kinds of animals and plants have natural ways to treat, relax, sleep or stay awake, and can recover naturally without any treatment. As a result, they began to imitate the posture of animals, adjust their breathing, explore their body and mind, and create a series of interesting and rigorous sports systems that echo the whole environment. Today, yoga not only belongs to philosophy and religion, but also has strong vitality. This society is changing with each passing day and the competition is fierce. Young people have to pay attention to the vagaries around them, pay attention to material and fame, and are exhausted. They hope to inhabit the body and mind and awaken energy, and yoga has gradually become the first choice. Among several fitness clubs visited by reporters, yoga has always been an indispensable and most popular sports section.
A senior yoga member said that yoga was chosen not because it is popular, but because it contains rich connotations, including history, philosophy and art. Listen to the names of these positions: Lotus Sitting, king kong sit, Perfect Sitting, Hero Sitting and Auspicious Sitting? There are many interesting action names: grasshopper, cobra pose, semi-tiger, one-legged stretching semi-lotus? When practicing yoga, you will often feel the breath of hundreds of years ago and enter a quiet and deep dark energy world. "Yoga", originally in Indian Sanskrit, means "regulating the mind". Ancient yoga believers hope to use yoga system to regulate breathing and body, so as to achieve a state of unity of body and mind. The young people in today's metropolis are also in this school, unloading all masks and burdens, looking for potential and meeting another self.
Yoga is my painkiller. Men like running, boxing, basketball and other biased sports. With the rapid development of urban environment, seemingly opposite male yoga is quietly popular in some big cities. Teng Xiaojun is an engineer in an IT company in Beijing. After 80, he stared at the computer every day. He is young, with many problems, cervical pain and mouse hands. His girlfriend said that he lacked exercise. When he was forced to do yoga for the first time, the boss was very reluctant. When sitting on the yoga mat, I witnessed the coach wearing a white shirt making all kinds of difficult movements, and at the same time gently guided everyone to "take care of their health and not be too demanding", which aroused his challenge.
Practice was once a week at first, then twice, and now it is three or four times. After a year of persistence, Xiaojun is now a yoga instructor in the office. In the performance of the annual meeting of the unit, we saw him leaning over and sticking his face on his straight leg, seeing his knees folded and his hands supporting his whole body, and everyone applauded wildly. Yes, yoga is not only a woman's jujitsu, but also a man's rigid and flexible exercise. These cheers from the outside world are a kind of enjoyment for Xiao Junquan. He benefited from the great relief or even disappearance of physical pain. To this end, he taught his colleagues a set of simple office yoga moves, such as the wind blowing the tree and the fish. Everyone did 15 minutes during the lunch break, and then he could devote himself to his work in the afternoon.
For some men who turn pale when they talk about yoga, Xiaojun should also popularize the relevant basic knowledge. The earliest yoga practitioners and masters in India were all men. American sports journalist Kambuya wrote a book "Real Men Practice Yoga", which was all the rage for a while, making more muscular men put down barbells, willingly sit on yoga mats and re-perceive their bodies from the heart. It's not sweating, it's another storm. In the balance of body and mind, in the breath, I gradually found the long-lost peace. This is why Teng Xiaojun decided to stick to yoga. He said that the earliest yoga was divorced from society. Yoga masters climbed the snow-capped mountains in the Himalayas and meditated on the banks of the Ganges River. They didn't know that they would launch a movement that would affect the world. Sometimes, Xiaojun can feel the coolness of the snow-capped mountains, the tranquility of the Ganges, the ordinary truth between the sun and the moon, and the calm heartbeat of yoga masters from yoga. "In a busy and restless urban environment, it is worthwhile to get these from a sport! Unfortunately, many people can't stick to yoga, just follow the trend, and some practice for three months, and their breathing methods have been wrong. So, the door is here. If you can't get in, you have to look at yourself. "
Men like yoga first because it can cure diseases. Prince Charles of the British royal family once said, "I don't need to take too many painkillers and other drugs, but rely on yoga to cure the back pain that has plagued me for many years." He also recommended a famous yoga instructor for the Queen of England, thinking that this is a more secure way than health care drugs. Yoga can relieve pain, just stick to it. In a yoga club in Shanghai, Feiniao and Xiaodou have been members for five years, and they have also formed a deep friendship here. Xiaodou still remembers the first time he saw a bird. He is haggard and thin, and he doesn't talk much. The hair rope on the head and the socks under the feet are all black, and the whole person is very gloomy. She was right next to adzuki bean, but turned a blind eye to adzuki bean's smile.
The background music of yoga is playing and the birds are singing. The coach told everyone to sleep on the yoga mat, close their eyes and guide everyone to give up all other thoughts and really pay attention to their hearts and breathing. After the instruction, everyone got up. Abortion found that the bird was still lying and breathing evenly. She fell asleep. Afterwards, the bird recalled that it was his most difficult period. At that time, the bird was in charge of a newly published magazine, dealing in content and advertisements. He was so tired that he broke down. And her boyfriend disappeared in her busyness, holding hands with others. I cry and hate, and I can't sleep every day. In the end, there were only a pair of bodies left. I met a little girl who handed out fitness leaflets downstairs and came to the yoga room. I didn't sleep well for a long time and fell asleep in the first yoga class. The sentence I heard before going to bed seems to be a spell: pay attention to your heart, your breath.
Yoga is not only a popular or fashionable fitness exercise. Yoga is a very ancient energy knowledge cultivation method, which integrates philosophy, science and art. Yoga is based on ancient Indian philosophy. For thousands of years, psychology, body and spirit have become an important part of Indian culture. Ancient yoga believers developed a yoga system because they believed that by exercising and regulating breathing, they could control their thoughts and emotions and maintain a healthy body.
