Are you breathing? Breathing is everyone's innate magic weapon, but we only breathe 30% at ordinary times, and the rest are not fully utilized or even ignored! In fact, as long as you go back to the simple exploration of infancy, you will be surprised that the original yoga breathing method is so simple and simple. Here I want to shout loudly: Breathe! Take a deep breath, then take a few deep breaths-do you feel relaxed now? Let's cooperate with yoga practice to find the remaining 70% potential and discover our simplicity and energy!

I want to warm up.

Do you often feel numb and unable to move when you keep a fixed posture for a few minutes before exercise? Be careful, be careful, your blood circulation is so slow that you protest with numbness! Now you sit on Mount Tai, be careful that you will soon become a fossil-you know, if a fossil falls, it will break, break, crack and hurt! So if you are a completely inactive person, get up and exercise your stiff body. But remember, you must warm up first to avoid hurting your body like a fossil! "Warm-up" is necessary before exercise, especially before entering yoga practice. Whether you are a completely motionless fossil or an active person who often exercises, "warm-up" is a very important and necessary concept of sports safety before doing any exercise to avoid unnecessary sports injuries.

Remember, tell yourself before practice: I want to warm up.

I want to relax.

We often see some graceful dancers, who exude a soft, flexible and elegant body language as soon as they dance, attracting us to keep our eyes away for a long time. That gentle gesture is really enviable. If it is replaced by a picture of hands and feet, the whole body is stiff and jumps up and down like a stake, it is really unbearable! Therefore, the key to femininity is to learn to relax first, and to become a yoga beauty, of course, there must be a magic weapon to relax!

Think about it, if you make a fist with your hands and then bang on the table to announce relaxation, then practicing yoga will become a hard old bones hitting the floor, not to mention entering the gentle yoga world! So don't clench your fist Take a deep breath and relax the power of your fist ... look! My hands are getting soft. Come on! Relax your hands and reach out to your shoulders, then relax all over. With relaxation, you have softness; With softness, your bones and muscles are elastic; With flexibility, you can become as graceful and harmonious as a dancer. It's that simple! When you relax, you will be soft. No one dares to say that you are a hard bone and not suitable for yoga!

Remember, the small step of getting started with yoga is to remind yourself at all times: I want to relax.

4. I want to feel

In fact, practicing yoga is very simple and easy. There is only one trick, that is, just "follow your feelings" when practicing! Please join me in saying loudly: "I want to feel!" " "That's because' feeling' is a very simple but easily overlooked thing. For example, in daily life, do you feel that you are breathing all the time? Do you feel relaxed at any time? As long as you are more sensitive to your "feelings", you can feel whether your body and mind are balanced and whether your whole body is affected by stress or physical discomfort. By practicing yoga postures, you can feel your body twisting, folding, leaning backward, bending forward and so on. You should exert yourself, massage, stretch, squeeze and relax your whole body, and you can feel the best degree during the practice.

Relieve physical and mental discomfort by feeling, and practice within your ability by feeling is the safest and best way! If you feel this way, you can develop your body's potential, have a deep body conversation with yourself, release endorphins through yoga, and get results, happiness and satisfaction in yoga posture. So when practicing yoga, you should always remind yourself: I want to feel.

5. I want to concentrate

A serious woman is the most beautiful, because serious concentration is a fascinating factor. If you distribute this factor to every part of the body and every cell, of course you are beautiful! To practice yoga, we must pay so much attention to the feeling of every inch inside and outside the body, awaken the function of the body, feel and love our body, and feel, experience and protect the most sensible parts with dedicated consciousness, so that the practice of yoga posture can taste pressure, press, touch, push, pull, squeeze, tighten and loosen with dedicated consciousness from time to time because of the change of posture.

Earnestness can make you the most beautiful woman, and concentration can make you the healthiest woman. Therefore, when practicing yoga, you must declare: I want to concentrate.

6. I want balance

How long has it been since you kept your balance? "Balance" is very important to health, and the balance of body and mind will be radiant. People who lose balance will definitely be eclipsed, just as a house can never be built without a solid and balanced foundation. The only exception is the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy, which is the only miracle in decades. In order to maintain its balance, later generations also tried their best to repair and maintain it, and found out the "balance in imbalance" to maintain it. So balance is very important. Only when there is balance can there be a solid pillar, and only when there is balance can there be a healthy body and mind. So another trick to practicing yoga is to "keep balance": when doing simple back bends, remember to bend forward; Don't forget the right side when you do the left side, and remember to twist the left side when you twist the right side. This balancing exercise is correct!

Of course, you can also practice body parts that don't move often in daily life. If you are a long-term sedentary office worker, you need to practice standing posture to balance; If you are a worker who stands for a long time, you should practice lying, lying and sitting to balance the imbalance of standing for a long time on weekdays, find the balance of your whole body, and let your body exude a balanced, healthy and comfortable feeling! Therefore, when practicing yoga, you must also remember: I want balance.

7. I want to continue

When practicing yoga, we should completely eliminate the mentality of fishing for three days and drying the net for two days, otherwise the effect of having a good figure and a healthy figure will be discounted. Persistence and persistence is a very important spirit of yoga learning. It doesn't matter if you want to practice or not, but you will give up practicing in the end. What a pity! In fact, it is not difficult to last. I especially remind you not to be too greedy when you read this book and make up your mind to start planning to practice yoga! It's a pity that I arranged too much time and practiced too many times. As a result, I was too tired to persist after practicing less than twice, but it became a kind of pressure, and finally I had to stop practicing or give up!

Therefore, I want to remind you in particular that as a beginner, practicing yoga will be very enjoyable and relaxing as long as you "live"! At first, it only takes 5 minutes a day. Then, get used to and increase the practice time, and keep the habit of practicing every day. You can easily turn practicing yoga into your living habit. In this way, you can easily keep practicing and enjoy the thinness and bodybuilding brought by yoga! Please join me in announcing loudly: I want to continue.

8. I want to fall in love

Being loved is happy, and every woman wants someone to love her. In contrast, love is hard! Similarly, falling in love with yoga requires a hard practice process. After getting familiar with it, you can naturally feel the comfort and health brought by yoga. This feeling will make you fall in love with yoga like an addiction, and then you must make yoga fall in love with your body. You must date yoga every day, or you will feel completely wrong-when you feel this way, you are right! As long as you can be infatuated with yoga, declare "I want to fall in love", do yoga every day, and let both body and mind feel the joy of being loved, you will always be young, healthy and beautiful.
