So how do you arrange your own exercises and courses in summer? Iyengar said in Iyengar Yoga that hot summer days may make you feel tired or dehydrated, so you should use auxiliary tools to relax, such as doing shoulder handstands with chairs and pillows. Supine, handstand and relaxed posture are also suitable for summer exercise, because they slow down the metabolism of the body, make the body and mind calm in all directions and keep energetic. Salad? Bowles said that in hot summer, practicing Yin yoga can help the body recover. However, Iyengar said in his yoga tree that those who imitate his teaching are not good. Why is this? Why can't you imitate? Because people, climate and environment are different from Iyengar's teaching. All methods are not absolutely relative, please think about this. I think many people study online, so be careful! Don't spoil yourself and others. So here I can only put forward a teaching practice idea for your reference, which needs your practical experience and become your own.
Chinese medicine has always said that spring and summer nourish yang and autumn and winter nourish yin, so summer is the best time to nourish yang. According to the principle that movement leads to yang, quietness leads to yin, and movement leads to yin injury, it is easy to sweat in summer, so we can only nourish yang through proper exercise. The problem is that the environment of modern people has changed a lot. Nine times out of ten, people who come to practice yoga have just come out of the air-conditioned room and stayed in the air-conditioned room for a day, but it is impossible not to sweat for a day. I will discuss several common situations as follows: First, as we all know, the air conditioners in air-conditioned rooms are often wet and cold, so for those who have just come out of air-conditioned rooms, you need to make them sweat and detoxify, but you should be moderate, arrange the posture of regulating body temperature at any time, and arrange some yin work or auxiliary tools to nourish and recover before the end of the treatment. The method used is to do yin first. Second, some people have just sweated a lot and are already very tired physically and mentally. These people need to follow the guidance of the above two teachers, practice passively, and repair and recover. 3. What if both kinds of people come to practice? Then we can adopt the guiding principles of Yin and Yang, first take care of the second kind of people and do some recovery, and then we can adopt slow Yang yoga to make our bodies flow, get hot and sweat. The arrangement of this Yang yoga must be adjusted at any time according to the students' physical condition. Finally, we still use Yin Yoga or auxiliary tools to repair our bodies.
How do we practitioners arrange our own practice? You can adopt the above method and then adjust it according to your own situation. Let me introduce my own experience and lessons. The summer exercises before 20 10 were all difficult exercises like Tom's, and I sweated a lot, but I found that my physical fitness did not change much. After two or three classes, I will be very tired. Over the years, I have reflected that the practice of yoga is to help a better life and to balance the body and mind, and it is not determined by difficulty, intensity or sweat. Now, in summer, we adopt the practice of combining Yin and Yang yoga, sweat moderately, repair more, and adjust at any time according to our physical condition. This is the advice given to you by Yutong Yoga instructor. Balance your body and mind and find a method that suits your body and mind.
