Special benefits of practicing anti-gravity yoga
1. Safe, simple and easy to learn (especially for members with spinal problems)
Don't be intimidated by seemingly difficult gestures. Under the guidance of professional teachers, we will find that in the case of anti-gravity, some asanas can be done easily by their own strength, especially for members with shoulder, neck, waist, back and knees problems, which can be done safely in the air.
2. Easy handstand with remarkable effect.
Anyone who has been exposed to yoga knows that handstand is the king of yoga poses, which has many benefits: improving blood circulation, flushing blocked blood vessels, especially blood supply to the brain, and is suitable for office workers with heavy mental work.
Through anti-gravity, you can improve sagging internal organs and loose facial muscles and stay young. More blood flows to the face, and the skin is more shiny and tender. Effectively and quickly improve sleep, improve depression and regulate endocrine.
In the correct traditional inverted pose, the muscles of the human body should be in a state of stretching and contracting (isometric contraction in centrifugal state), and it is the most ideal state to give up without being stiff, loose and unremitting. However, for most beginners, because they don't do handstands with giving up their strength, their movements are in a state of compression because of gravity, which is easy to cause neck and shoulder injuries.
7000 years ago, in the time of Shiva, the human skull was hard and the internal structure was simple, which was very suitable for handstand. After 7000 years, the human skull has gradually become soft, and the human brain has evolved perfectly and sensitively. The gland corresponding to the crown wheel on the head is the pineal gland, which ancient philosophers called? Throne of the soul? And then what? The controller of thought? Therefore, pressing the top of the head for too long is easy to make people fidgety and lose their temper, leading to rough and blunt brain. Based on the fact that handstand has many benefits to human body, if you practice directly on the ground, you will be easily injured and dull your brain, so in aerial yoga class, everyone is easily thrown up by hammocks.
3. Natural traction effect of spine
On the basis of handstand, anti-gravity yoga brings you natural spinal traction, rapidly improves blood circulation around the spine, and has obvious effects on lumbar disc herniation, spinal deformation, cervical vertebra and shoulder pain. The intervertebral disc in the whole spine accounts for 1/4 of the length of the spine. If a rubber band is stretched for a long time, it will relax and lose its elasticity. In the course, especially the elastic practice of Tai Chi, it takes longer to obtain the same elasticity and extension as the spring force.
4. Exercise deep muscles and accelerate body metabolism.
Practicing on the basis of 360-degree instability of hammock, usually very simple movements require us to have better stability. Without thinking through the brain, our body will automatically activate deep muscles to stabilize the body. Not only will it make your body healthier, but it will also consume more calories and make it easier to lose weight.
Relax, be happy, decompress
Swing-like exercises in hammocks will make every practitioner feel free in the air, as if he were a child again? Flying in general? Happy feeling. By reducing the pain and fatigue of other exercises, we can fly more easily and achieve the ideal decompression effect.
Who is suitable for practicing aerial yoga? What are the taboos?
There are many handstand postures of aerial yoga, which are especially suitable for modern people with insufficient blood supply to the brain and great pressure. Handstand can let fresh blood enter the brain, which is very effective for relaxing spirit, nourishing internal organs and increasing immunity.
The inspiration of aerial yoga comes from the traction or suspension of physical therapy, which stretches the compressed spine through its own gravity, especially suitable for patients with shoulder and neck stiffness and lumbar intervertebral disc lesions.
The hanging rope of aerial yoga is wrapped around the lymph gland area of groin and armpit, which is especially suitable for people who need to lose weight and detoxify. After practice, the arms, chest, buttocks and thighs became thinner obviously.
The unstable state of aerial yoga naturally tightens core muscle groups, strengthens waist and abdomen strength, effectively reduces excess fat in waist and abdomen, and promotes gastrointestinal peristalsis.
Aerial yoga handstand posture is not suitable for female patients with physiological period, hypertension, glaucoma and ear disease, and it is not suitable for wearing contact lenses when practicing handstand posture.
Matters needing attention
Yoga, like other sports, will bring some harm to the body if it is not practiced correctly, so it needs to be practiced under the guidance of professionals.
Avoid comparison
As a practitioner, you should always follow the natural laws in yoga practice, step by step, and don't compare with others. Many people always think that yoga requires good flexibility at the beginning of practice. When they see that other practitioners or coaches around them can do more stretching or more difficult movements than themselves, they will be eager to do it, which will often hurt joints and muscles because of anxiety, and the practice effect will be counterproductive.
Warm-up before practice gives you a safety protection.
There is also a link that cannot be ignored in the whole practice process: warm-up, that is, preparation for practice, or some relatively simple yoga movements. If you are missing this item, you are likely to be injured or difficult to complete the action. For example, in the practice of strength yoga, when doing dog pose, it is easy to get nervous without proper preparation practice. Once you can't support it, your joints will exert force and your body will be easily injured.
