Yoga is a Chinese vocabulary, which originated from Indian Sanskrit "yug" or "yuji", meaning "consistency", "combination" or harmony. Yoga originated in ancient India and is one of the six philosophical schools in ancient India. It explores the truth and method of "the unity of Brahma and Me". What modern people call yoga is mainly a series of methods to cultivate one's self-cultivation.

Around 300 BC, patanjali, the founder of Indian Yoga, wrote the Yoga Sutra, on the basis of which Indian yoga really took shape, and the practice of yoga was formally defined as a complete eight-branch system. Yoga is a system that helps human beings to give full play to their potential by raising their consciousness.

Yoga posture uses ancient and easy-to-master skills to improve people's physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual abilities. It is an exercise method to achieve the harmony and unity of body, mind and spirit, including posture method, breathing method and meditation method, so as to achieve the unity of body and mind.

Development history

Yoga originated in India and has a history of more than 5,000 years. It is called "the treasure of the world". Yoga originated in the Himalayan foothills of northern India. Yoga practitioners in ancient India created a series of physical and mental exercise systems, namely postures, by observing, imitating and experiencing animal postures.

Matters needing attention

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.

Seeing that other practitioners or coaches around can do more stretching or more difficult movements than themselves, they will be eager to do it, which will often hurt their joints and muscles because of anxiety, and the practice effect will be counterproductive.

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.
