When the soft tissue in the human body is too rigid, the nerves, blood vessels, joints, vertebrae, and organs can not have a virtuous cycle.
Soft tissues such as muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia naturally have the function of extension and contraction.
Through the practice of yoga asana, you can promote its vitality, so as to achieve the so-called body softness.
Can I practice yoga with a hard body? The general understanding is that yoga is the business of those who have a soft body.
How can I practice yoga with such a hard body? This concept hinders many people from trying yoga.
It is also a problem that people with “hard body” are very confused at the beginning of learning.
In fact, the descriptions of “soft” and “hard” are not very appropriate.
What is mentioned here is actually flexibility: it mainly includes the range of joint movement and muscle stretching.
When the soft tissue in the human body is too rigid, the nerves, blood vessels, joints, vertebrae, and organs can not have a virtuous cycle.
Soft tissue naturally has the function of extension and contraction.
Through the practice of yoga asana, its vitality can be promoted, so as to achieve the so-called body softness.
Elastic limit the movement of soft tissues such as muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia is a process of stretching and retracting.
However, there is a stretching limit beyond which you cannot retract.
That is to say, the soft tissue has a fixed extension length, the muscle has the longest extension length, and the tendons, ligaments and fascia are much shorter.
If a soft tissue is stretched beyond this limit, it will be very vulnerable to injury.
The muscle flexibility of beginners may be improved after practicing yoga for 3-4 weeks, but the muscle adapts to the tension faster, but the tendons and ligaments are not so fast.
At this time, the force will be transferred to these soft tissues.
This is why it is not easy to get injured at the beginning of learning, but it is easy to get injured after a period of time when the body is a little softer.
In the early stage of yoga, while developing physical ability, physical awareness should also keep up with it earlier.
“Hard” people need to know that “hard” people lack flexibility in their bodies.
The first thing “hard” people need to know is that their bodies are always changing.
The human body is not a cement board or an iron bar, but an organic organism.
Yoga is to help the body from hard to soft.
The body, a biological organism, changes.
The hips that you don’t open, the hamstrings that you can’t stretch, and the chest that you don’t open will slowly open with practice and time, and the flexibility of the body will gradually increase with the practice of yoga; Of course, this requires continuous self-discipline practice and time, but practice is the key to “opening” the body.
If you practice self-discipline properly, you will be surprised to find that your body changes so quickly.
Another benefit of being “hard” is stability.
Stability means that the muscles and tendons around the joints are tight and the joints are hard and solid.
In this way, it is unlikely to cause physical injuries due to joint instability, and such injuries often occur in advanced practitioners and “soft” people.
The first thing “soft” people need to know is that the “hard” body is the obstacle for many people to practice yoga.
Most yoga practitioners have a very “soft” body.
Because people with soft bodies think that yoga is more “suitable” for them, which is why there are many “soft girls” but few men in a yoga classroom.
But the underlying problem is that many people don’t get good guidance, Use the flexibility of your body to quickly pursue the “difficult” posture, and the flexibility of your body is very good, often because you find the “feeling” The deeper you go in asana, the higher the risk of hurting your body.
These not only bring a lot of hidden dangers to the safety of the body, but also lead to the premature overdraft of the advantage of softness due to the lack of balanced practice and the lack of strength, and can not continue to bloom on the road of yoga.
Here are the suggestions for the soft girls: 1.
Strength training.
2.
Don’t pursue difficult asanas too quickly.
3.
Positive position.
Yoga is about balance.
If a person is born with the advantage of softness, he must seek more strength to achieve balance.
The “soft girls” are all on the “right side”.
At this time, they should climb from the right side: the so-called increase of stability is to rely on strength training to insure the flexibility of the body.
So for the soft girl, the focus of yoga practice is to practice strength and strengthen the body structure.
If you walk too fast and pursue difficult asanas when the stability of the body (strength guaranteed softness) is not available at the beginning of learning, you will increase the risk of injury.
So a piece of advice for “soft girls” is: “either you can do it or you should do it.”.
Plus, the positive position is also very important, which is why learning Yoga must receive the face-to-face guidance of experienced teachers; Because all materials such as books, videos and wechat official account articles can not replace teachers’ observation and guidance, yoga can not be self-taught.
