At the same time, there are many new courses in the past two years, such as water yoga, strength yoga, dynamic yoga, Iyengar yoga, Kuntrini yoga ... So, what's the difference between these courses? Which different groups are suitable for? Let's have an intimate date with two senior yoga instructors: Simon and Whelan.
Regenerative Yoga for Women: Yoga specially designed for women.
This is the latest course at present. Simon, a teacher at the Beautiful Yoga Hall, told the reporter that in India more than 5,000 years ago, men began to practice and passed it on from generation to generation by means of master and apprentice. Only later did the number of women begin to increase. Female practitioners often ask their masters (usually men) some questions.
For example: "Can I practice yoga during my period?" The master can't answer these questions, because all yoga moves are arranged according to the physical characteristics and physiological structure of men, so the master has to vaguely say, "Some handstands can't be practiced, but some can be practiced simply."
Five years ago, an American yoga master felt that the relationship between yoga and women's bodies was not that simple, so he began to study it. In 2009, a new yoga course named "Female Regenerative Yoga" was founded, which is completely different from the previous female and female yoga courses. All poses are centered on the female body structure, and the purpose of maintaining the female body is achieved through some hip exercises and breathing. At present, this new yoga course has just entered Guangzhou.
Suitable for the crowd: suitable for women to practice, without yoga foundation.
Strength Yoga: Practice your muscles and endurance.
Strength yoga is the most popular yoga system in the United States at present, and it is also a new course introduced to China in recent two years. Many people think that strength yoga and power yoga are the same thing, but in fact they are completely different. Dynamic yoga is practiced in the process of moving, while strength yoga is practiced in stillness, with more "yin force". For example, a seemingly simple squat actually consumes a lot of physical strength, so it also has an obvious effect on strengthening muscles. Strength yoga emphasizes the combination of strength and flexibility, and needs to be combined with deep breathing exercises.
Suitable for people: men; A woman with flabby muscles; Need to have a certain foundation of yoga.
Kunteniri Yoga: Awakening Your Energy
Teacher Simon told reporters that Kuntrini yoga is the most primitive yoga, but it has entered the public's field of vision.
Wild is the last two years. Some scholars have studied awakening yoga before. In fact, Awakening Yoga is a series of Kunteniri Yoga. "Kuntrini" means female snake. Everyone has such a snake in his body, which represents energy. But when we don't activate it at ordinary times, it sleeps in our body. When we activate it through yoga meditation and breathing, its energy will burst out.
Therefore, Kunteni Yoga is a kind of meditation yoga, which is also quite advanced in China. Only those who have practiced yoga for several years can practice Kunteni yoga. Therefore, there are not many people who offer this course in Guangzhou at present, and most of the practitioners are yoga instructors or professional yoga practitioners.
Suitable for the crowd: professional yoga practitioners with certain skills.
Nike dynamic yoga:
Make your muscles strong.
NIKE dynamic yoga, a brand-new yoga course, was quickly loved by some fitness experts, because NIKE dynamic yoga was inspired by a way.
It makes the static yoga practice "move" and completes the yoga practice in the process of "moving", so those bodybuilders who originally thought yoga practice liked this new "moving" yoga course. Because dynamic yoga emphasizes the combination of dynamic yoga training, its main function is to strengthen and lengthen the muscles of practitioners, and at the same time, it can make the body and breathing better controlled and strengthen the core strength.
The five basic elements of dynamic yoga are strength, balance, gentleness, heart and lung, and core.
Suitable for people: men; A woman with flabby muscles; Need to have a certain foundation of yoga.
Water yoga:
Yoga that is most suitable for summer practice.
As the name implies, water yoga is an innovative yoga course, which skillfully combines the basic principles of water with some yoga postures. Some actions that are difficult to do on land can be easily completed by using the buoyancy of water in the water.
Tens of thousands of people in the United States are keen on water yoga, and many Japanese swimming pools also offer water sports, but in China, water yoga has just started.
According to experts, in China, although many people are interested in water yoga, they can't find a suitable practice venue. For example, many health clubs don't have swimming pools.
Coach Whelan said that water yoga has the most obvious weight-loss effect, and it also has the function of regulating body balance and relaxing body and mind. Especially in summer, water yoga is the most suitable yoga for practice.
Suitable for people: people who want to lose weight and shape; Need a certain foundation of yoga.
Running water yoga: yoga with good detoxification effect
Just looking at the name, some people will think that running yoga is yoga practiced in water. In fact, running yoga means:
It is a whole set, from standing posture to sitting posture, to kneeling posture, and finally to lying posture. A whole set of movements is done like an assembly line.
Running water yoga is a kind of yoga practiced on land, which has outstanding effect of detoxification and slimming. But because it is done in a coherent way, practitioners need to have a sports foundation so that their physical strength can keep up.
Suitable for people: people who want to strengthen the detoxification effect; Have the foundation of sports and yoga.
Iyengar Yoga: Get rid of the stiff body
Iyengar Yoga was founded by Indian master Iyengar, and it has only entered the public view in the last two years. It attaches great importance to the correct placement of the human body, the physiological structure and the function of bones and muscles, and emphasizes the accuracy of * * * movements, which has the function of correcting and restoring the body.
Another important feature of Iyengar Yoga is that it sometimes uses some tools, such as bricks, belts, cushions and chairs.
Mentally, Iyengar yoga is famous for its safety and slowness, which can temper impetuous temperament and cultivate great concentration.
Suitable for the crowd: people who want to get rid of the rigid body and cultivate their concentration; Need to have a certain foundation of yoga.
