Hello everyone!
namaste
When you walk into a yoga classroom that you are not familiar with, good yoga etiquette will make you adapt to the environment quickly. Yoga etiquette is also a kind of daily behavior etiquette, but it has its particularity for a specific yoga classroom environment. 7 basic yoga etiquette, necessary for beginners!
1, take off your shoes
? Many yoga studios have a place to put shoes in the front door, so take off your shoes before entering the door. Because everyone walks around the yoga studio barefoot, we should form the good habit of taking off our shoes when we enter the yoga studio, and the environment for practicing yoga will be much healthier.
Step 2 turn off the phone
? Be sure to turn off your cell phone when you enter the yoga studio, otherwise it will be embarrassing when your cell phone rings during practice. If this happens (I have already happened), I call on everyone to stand up and turn it off immediately. In order not to affect other students, some teachers will choose to ignore your ringtone in class, and will also imply that he or she doesn't like to hear your ringtone again in class.
Step 3 attend class on time
? Everyone doesn't like being late, especially the yoga teacher, because being late will not only affect the teacher's rhythm, but also disturb other students. Arrive at the classroom at least ten minutes before class begins. If you are late and the class has already started for more than ten minutes, don't go in, wait for the next class or the next class.
4. Respect teachers
? When you enter a yoga class, you should respect your teacher for the next 60-90 minutes. Maybe in the middle of class, you find that you don't like the teacher and the style of yoga, but you should stay in the classroom and do the exercises according to the teacher's instructions, or you can tell the teacher that you are inexperienced and act like a corpse.
5. Maintain appropriate diversity.
? Always remember the level of your yoga class, whether it is elementary, intermediate or advanced. If it is an advanced course, some postures are difficult to do. You can do some basic postures you have taught before. Teachers usually give you a choice. If it is a beginner's class, you should honestly follow the actions taught by the teacher, and don't try to do advanced actions, because it will confuse the new students. When you practice to a certain extent, the teacher will let you choose whether to take advanced courses or not.
6. Go to the toilet during the break.
? When you want to go to the toilet, you don't need to ask the teacher, just leave the classroom gently. It's best to go to the toilet during the break, such as baby style and dog style. If you often go to the toilet while doing some difficult postures or standing still, you won't win the respect of the teacher.
7. Don't skip the corpse pose.
? The final relaxation posture is a very important part of the exercise. Don't try to leave the yoga classroom too early. If you are in a hurry, you can say hello to the teacher in advance, and you can leave without doing anything for a while, but don't get into the habit.
? Many people always think that the corpse standing posture is too simple and looks "chicken ribs", so it is a pity to practice the corpse standing posture through crossing.
The most difficult and simplest posture.
-Quite a corpse type
The corpse posture can be included in the most important and difficult yoga posture. In the vegetarian meal of the corpse, we symbolically let our inherent thoughts and behaviors "die", and the original impressions and judgments melt away and enter an indistinguishable state.
Straighten up when practicing corpse posture. Make sure that the left and right sides of the body are evenly placed on the floor, and the left and right ears are equidistant from the left and right shoulders to relax the muscles and bones. Imagine your body sinking into the ground and spreading like a pool of oil. Calm your senses, relax the base of your tongue, feel the eyes in your eyes, just like the body in the cradle, relax and stare at the position of your heart. Relax from the inner ear to the skull and observe the sound of breathing. I feel that the bridge of my nose is smooth and integrated with the temples of my body.
Surrender to all your psychological activities as much as possible. Even if you are still lying on the ground, you will find it easy for your mind to fall into the desire to do something. Throw away your head and remember the sage's motto: "Don't refuse, don't ask. Rest and live in the moment. "
The book Iyengar Yoga describes the corpse pose like this: "In this pose, the body remains motionless like a corpse, and the brain is alert but quiet. This pose can relieve fatigue and calm the brain. All parts of the body are in their places, so as to be fully relaxed. When practicing, your senses (eyes, ears and tongue) will be pulled away from the outside world, and your body and mind will be integrated to experience inner peace. This is the first step of meditation. "
? An experienced yoga teacher once said: "There are many postures that can relax the body more than the corpse posture, but the corpse posture is the best posture to relax the spirit. Have such a soft body? No, so every time you enter a corpse, your body has quietly changed. Spiritually, you have died in the past and a new life has been born. "
Therefore, every time you hold a corpse, all the pressure, anxiety, depression, irritability and fear accumulated in the past will die, and you will be born, positive, alert, optimistic, cheerful, friendly and healthy-the energy of this spiritual rebirth cannot be underestimated.
