What are the elements of practicing yoga

　　1. Breathe

　　Are you breathing? Breathing is a magic weapon for health that everyone is born with, but we usually only do 30% of breathing, and not only do we not fully use the rest, we even ignore it! In fact, as long as we return to baby After a period of simple exploration, you will be surprised to find that the breathing method of yoga is so simple and simple. I want to shout out here: Breathe! Take a deep breath, and then take a few more deep breaths - now do you feel that your whole body has become more relaxed? Let us cooperate with the practice of yoga to regain the remaining 70% of our potential and discover our own simplicity and energy!

　　2. Warm up

　　Do you often feel that your whole body is numb and unable to move when you move your body after being in a fixed position for a few minutes? Be careful, be careful, your blood circulation is so slow that you feel numb in protest! You are sitting as steady as a mountain now, but you will soon turn into a fossil - you must know that if a fossil falls, it will be broken, broken, cracked, or injured! So if you are someone who does not exercise at all, get up quickly and move your stiff body. But remember, you must warm up first so as not to hurt your body like a fossil! “"Warming up" is something that must be done before doing exercise, especially before entering into yoga practice. Whether you are a completely immobile fossil person or an active person who exercises frequently, "warming up" before doing any exercise is a very important and necessary sports safety concept to avoid unnecessary sports injuries.

　　3. Relax

　　We often see some graceful dancers exuding a soft, flexible and elegant body language as soon as they move their bodies, attracting us and unable to take our eyes away for a long time. That kind of soft posture is really enviable. It would be really unbearable if it were replaced by a picture of the same person with the same hands and feet, and the whole body is as hard as a wooden stake jumping up and down! Therefore, the key to beauty is to learn to relax first, and to become a yoga beauty, of course you must have a magic weapon to relax!

　　4. Feeling

　　In fact, practicing yoga is very simple and easy. There is only one trick, which is to "just follow your feelings" when practicing! Please join me in saying loudly: “I want to feel! ”Because "feeling" is a very simple thing, it is easily overlooked. For example, in daily life, do you feel that you are breathing at any time? Do you ever feel like you are relaxing? As long as you are more sensitive to your own "feelings", you can feel whether your body and mind are balanced, and you can also feel whether your whole body is affected by pressure or physical discomfort. By practicing yoga asanas, you can feel your body twisting, folding, leaning back, bending forward... and other activities with your limbs, applying force, massaging, stretching, squeezing, and relaxing your whole body. During the practice, operate it to the extent that you can best feel it.

　　5. Focus

　　Serious women are the most beautiful, because seriousness and concentration are a kind of charming factor. If this factor is distributed to every part and every cell of the body, of course you will be beautiful! To practice yoga, you must be so serious about focusing on every inch and every sensation inside and outside the body, awakening the body's functions, feeling and loving your body, and using the most sensitive parts to feel, appreciate, and protect with focused awareness, so that the practice of yoga asanas, Press, press, touch, push, pull, squeeze, tighten, loosen and other sensations on the body due to changes in posture. Use focused awareness to taste, experience, gain, improve, and enjoy, and feel the changes and comfort of soreness, pain, swelling, and numbness from time to time to achieve the best effect.

　　6. Balance

　　How long has it been since you balanced yourself? “"balanced" pair healthy It is very important. A balanced body and mind will be radiant, and a person who loses his balance will definitely be eclipsed, just like a house without a solid and balanced foundation will never be able to build a high-rise building. The only exception is the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy, which is the only miracle that appeared only in the past few decades. In order to maintain its balance, later generations have tried their best to repair and maintain it, and to find the "balance in imbalance" to maintain it. Therefore, balance is very important. Only with balance can we have a strong pillar, and with balance can we have a healthy body and mind. So another tip for practicing yoga is to be "balanced": when you do a simple backbend, remember to bend forward as well; when you do the left side, don't forget the right side; when you twist the right side, remember to twist the left side as well. Such balanced practice is correct!

　　7. Continue

　　When practicing yoga, the mentality of fishing for three days and drying the net for two days must be completely eliminated. Otherwise, the effect of having a beautiful figure and a healthy body will be compromised. Continuity and perseverance are very important in yoga learning. If you practice only when you want to, it doesn't matter if you don't practice and you are too casual. You will definitely give up practicing in the end. That is a shame! In fact, it is not difficult to continue. I would like to remind you that when you read this book and make up your mind to start practicing yoga, don’t be too greedy all at once! Arranging too much time and practicing too many times will make you tired after practicing less than twice, and you will be unable to continue. Instead, it will become stress, and you will eventually stop or give up practicing. It is a pity!

　　8. Fall in love

　　Being loved is happiness. Every woman wants to be loved; on the other hand, loving someone is hard work! In the same way, falling in love with yoga requires a hard-working practice process. After you become familiar with it and become familiar with it, you will naturally feel the comfort and health brought by yoga. This feeling will make you fall madly in love with yoga like an addiction, and instead of letting yoga take care of your body, you must make a date with yoga every day, otherwise something is wrong with your whole body - when you feel this way, that's it! As long as you can be obsessed with yoga, declare "I want to fall in love", YOGA every day, and let your body and mind feel the happiness of being loved, you will be forever young, healthy and beautiful, and it is you!
