There are many types of yoga. Doing yoga according to your own problems can help you achieve your goals more effectively. Do you know what kind of yoga suits you?

Some people come into contact with yoga because of advertisements in health clubs, some practice yoga because of the recommendation of their intimate personal experiences, and some people are fascinated by yoga because they read the autobiography of a yogi written by a yoga master ... In short, for whatever reason, yoga has become a popular sport all over the world. At the same time, there have been many new yoga courses in the past two years, such as water yoga, strength yoga, dynamic yoga, Iyengar yoga and Kuntrini yoga ... So, what are the differences between these yoga courses? Which different groups are suitable for?

How to choose the right type of yoga for women: Yoga designed for women?

This is the latest yoga class at present. The yoga teacher said that yoga originated in India more than 5,000 years ago and has always been practiced by men. Pass on from generation to generation in the form of mentoring. Later, more and more women began to practice yoga. Female practitioners often ask the master (usually a man) some questions, such as: "Can I practice yoga during my menstrual 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."

A few 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, he founded a brand-new yoga course called "Female Regenerative Yoga", which is completely different from previous courses such as female physiotherapy yoga and female health yoga. All postures are centered on the female body structure, and the purpose of maintaining the female figure is achieved through some hip movements 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 only entered the public's field of vision in the last two years. Some yoga practitioners have learned 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. It 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, Kuntrini yoga is a kind of meditation yoga, and it is also a quite advanced realm in yoga practice. 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 soon loved by some fitness experts, because Nike Dynamic Yoga is a kind of exercise inspired by sports training methods, which makes static yoga practice "move" and completes yoga practice in the process of "moving". Therefore, those bodybuilders who originally felt that yoga practice was boring all liked this "moving" new yoga course. Because dynamic yoga emphasizes the combination of dynamic yoga training and exercise, 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.

Water yoga: the most suitable yoga to practice in summer

As the name implies, water yoga is an innovative yoga course, which skillfully combines the basic principles of water sports 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 have also set up water yoga fitness programs, 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.
