Let’s talk about the sequence of practicing postures, so that you can practice safely and continuously with a sense of achievement.
The first step in practicing postures is not to stretch the tendons, but to enhance the strength of physical strength and muscles and ligaments Many people have this experience.
At the beginning of class, they often sweat or yawn.
This is the phenomenon of lack of physical strength.
After getting used to it for a while, you won’t often sweat all over, but you will often feel sore all over.
This is the relationship that the body tissue is not strong enough.
To this extent, the practitioner should not force the body to be soft or rush to challenge the posture method that cannot be done.
He should wait until his body is strong enough and his physical strength increases in a few months.
It’s hard to say how long this period will take.
Some people are young and energetic, and they adapt in a month or two, while others have to wait for months.
However, even if you are young enough and have more than three classes a week, it is not appropriate to be anxious to keep up with the progress, because although you can persist for a long time, your strength still belongs to clumsy strength.
If you challenge difficult movements in this way, you will get hurt.
So remember, at this stage, don’t care whether your action is good or not, and don’t force yourself to complete the action that seems to be achievable.
The focus of this stage is to strengthen your physical strength and physical strength.
When you feel you have enough strength, go to the next stage of training.
The second stage of practicing postures is usually the most easily overlooked period for ordinary people, that is, practicing relaxation.
In fact, it’s really hard to relax.
Some yoga masters don’t realize how to relax until they practice for several years.
Relaxation is not just the relaxation of a big rest, but the relaxation of the whole class as much as possible.
You should release your clumsy strength by relaxation, otherwise you will easily become a fitness lady with full muscles and muscles, and you will be easy to get injured.
The initial relaxation should be cultivated during the first stage of the big rest.
It’s a pity if you really take the corpse spreading rest as a rest and sleep there.
The real big break should be to feel the natural relaxation of the whole body tissue after a class.
At this time, it is necessary to relax unless you are not tired.
If you experience this relaxation in the first stage and remember this feeling firmly in your heart, you can slowly explore how to relax your body in the second stage.
It’s not the most painful part of your body that needs to be relaxed in the second stage, so it’s not the least time for you to release your body, but to maintain your body in the first stage.
At this stage, you should also exercise your observation of your body.
Because you want to practice relaxation, you should find out which parts of your body are not relaxed enough.
This is observation.
You may only find several parts in the early stage.
Don’t stop searching.
Slowly, you can observe more and more parts at the same time.
Your heart must be like the radar on a fighter.
The old radar can only lock one or two enemy aircraft for tracking at a time, and the new radar can lock many enemy aircraft at a time.
When you are proficient in this practice, you can find many rigid and relaxed parts in your body and learn to relax them one by one.
Occasionally, I meet friends who have been practicing yoga for many years.
I just force myself to pull the body ligaments to the extreme in some postures.
Although I have achieved my goal, my body is stiff and tight.
I often have to go to a masseur to massage after practice, which is the key to relaxation.
At this stage, there is a challenge, that is, you will gradually feel that after practicing a class, you will not be tired, as if you haven’t practiced, and you will be full of spirit.
Don’t run to more classes because you don’t feel enough physical stimulation and exercise.
Be patient.
Physical changes will not be completed in a few weeks, and relaxation and focused learning are not three or two years.
At this stage, you should set the goal and direction and what to do.
You should be clear in your heart and don’t be confused.
The second stage is also a good time to start training respiratory control.
Because we learn how to relax the body, we should use respiratory control to internalize this relaxation into the body.
We don’t need to set the goal of respiratory control too high, as long as it can help ourselves relax more.
When you have enough relaxation power, you will gradually find the interaction between breathing and mind, and how to use breathing to help yourself recover from fatigue or tension, and you can enter the third stage.
Relaxation is a lifelong effort, but if you have some experience of relaxation, you can enter the third stage of practice, that is, exertion.
Is it strange to force at this time? In fact, the previous practice is also exerting force, but it is very different from the exertion at this stage.
The exertion at this stage should be smart.
The previous relatively clumsy exertion will be called clumsy force.
Chinese Wushu likes to use force to describe this smart exertion way as a difference.
Clumsy exertion will make the body tired, sore and easy to strain.
For some people’s physical characteristics, the use of clumsy strength will make you hungry after a class and want to eat a big meal.
It’s easy to grow muscles soon.
This is different from the familiar impression of yoga..
