Mohammed Mohammed Hassan, a well-known Indian yoga instructor, said at the 2008 World Yoga Symposium: "Traditional Indian yoga is not suitable for everyone, only for men, because in ancient times, yoga was originally designed for men, especially those with athletic muscles. In Europe and America, men's enthusiasm for practicing yoga even exceeds that of women. Nowadays, most famous yoga masters are men.
The benefits of men practicing yoga For modern people who are in a hurry, if they can't learn to relax and vent, it will lead to a series of psychological and physical diseases, which will make people fall into a sub-health state of fatigue and listlessness. Yoga is a kind of training that consciously adjusts breathing, achieves the whole body balance with body posture, and restores the body's self-healing ability.
Deep breathing in yoga helps to concentrate, while complete and balanced contraction and stretching exercises can train the elasticity of muscles and joints of the whole body, which can not be achieved by single exercise such as walking or cycling. Because yoga is slow-moving, slow-paced, and requires high flexibility. At the same time, yoga emphasizes breathing and calming the body.
Generally speaking, men are not as flexible as women, so they won't get started quickly. But with the deepening of practice, they will find that men may benefit more from yoga because of the increase of physical toughness, and their physical strength will become better and their mentality will be more peaceful. Yoga not only shapes the external image, but also gives people an internal strength. After a period of exercise from the inside out and from the outside in, people will be surprised to find that while losing a few kilograms, their mentality is completely different.
