Yoga gives people a general impression that either grandma stretches in the park or thin people fold themselves into twists. It is not what you think. If you choose the right yoga class, yoga is no longer a gentle exercise for your older students, nor is it a femininity class for women.
Corey, the founding teacher of Rocket Yoga, shared that before she became a yoga teacher, she was actually a retrained athlete with 23 years of experience. In recent years, yoga has been chosen as the main training exercise, which not only helps to improve the chronic injury caused by long-term retraining, but also can obtain inner peace by practicing meditation and breathing.
"I was obsessed with retraining before, and I never thought I would walk into a yoga classroom one day. Every time I walk into the gym and see a group class practicing yoga, I always go to my retraining area without looking back. Until one time, my friends kept urging me to try a yoga class, and I couldn't help him, so I went into the classroom with him to have a look. I feel so humiliated after class. In the field of retraining, the national competition entered the list, but in a basic Hada yoga class, I couldn't complete 80% of the movements, and the mat only dared to rank last. I wonder how tired this sport is. Even if I can't finish a class, I still sweat like rain! Teacher] Corey smiled and recalled the first yoga class that year.
Yoga is not exclusive to women 1. Yoga can also be very Man: yoga is not only to increase softness, but also to enhance your strength and endurance, increase your concentration and balance, and comprehensively improve all your muscles, joints and ligament fibers.
2. Increase the effectiveness of the original sports field and repair sports injuries: Yoga is a good medicine for you to avoid injuries and help to restore and repair muscles. Through yoga asana practice, muscles and nearby fascia will be stretched and relaxed, which will add more space for blood flow. In this way, more oxygenated blood will flow to this part to help the muscles recover. This is helpful for all your activities. Whether you like playing golf, basketball, baseball or retraining, it will make you reach higher, squat lower, stand wider and swing farther. When muscle elasticity increases, it will also greatly reduce your chances of injury.
3. Use muscles wisely: muscles are not just for looking good. Weight training and aerobic training will make your muscles tight and short, but yoga posture will lengthen and enhance your functional strength, and help you think intelligently about which muscle groups you need to use in posture. In yoga class, you will see a skinny girl doing handstands easily, while the muscular man next to her can't even do it with her feet a few centimeters off the ground. This is the difference when she really exercises her muscles.
4. The history of yoga was mainly practiced by men at the beginning: Yoga has a history of thousands of years, and very few girls practiced yoga before 100 years ago. Indra Davis, a western woman who is known as the earliest yoga practitioner, began to practice yoga in the early 65,438+0930. However, in today's society, boys who practice yoga have become a minority, mainly because of the following factors: Compared with women, men's muscles are relatively small. Plus, I want to go to an environment full of girls and do something I can't do well. A considerable challenge to men's self-awareness is. Men must bravely learn to get out of that comfort zone, persevere, and you can definitely change.
