Yoga Debate: Fitness or Injury?
2 Yoga market chaos In the past 65,438+00 years, yoga has developed at an unimaginable speed, and yoga clubs and yoga training schools have blossomed everywhere. On the one hand, there is an increasingly prosperous yoga market, while on the other hand, yoga injuries are frequent. Insiders point the root of the problem to the chaos in the yoga training industry. The earliest yoga instructors in China were dancers and gymnasts because of their flexible bodies. The earliest yoga training was basically like this: after three days and about 20 hours of training, some people with basic dance skills came out as yoga instructors. After investigation by CCTV reporters, it was found that there are currently seven yoga instructors in a yoga club in Fengtai District, Beijing. Six of them have no relevant qualifications, but all have more than three years of teaching experience. One of the club instructors named Susan has obtained the teaching qualification certificate of Indian yoga master Iyengar. "Iyengar Teaching Qualification Certificate" is relatively rare in China. In the yoga industry, Iyengar is recognized as one of the greatest yoga instructors in the world. He is the founder of Iyengar's yoga practice, and his works such as Light of Yoga and Brilliant Life are popular all over the world. Iyengar is convinced that yoga is suitable for everyone, and it has a remarkable therapeutic effect on diseases. But people in the industry have different views on Iyengar. 20 1 1, when Iyengar attended the China-India Yoga Summit, he obviously limped. Some people think that this is not the form of a healthy and normal person. When a CCTV reporter interviewed a yoga instructor training school in Beijing, a staff member said that a person who can't do yoga at all can get the international certification certificate of yoga instructor after 29 days of study. In fact, there are two kinds of international certification about yoga. Among them, the American Yoga Alliance was established in 1982, and the European Yoga Alliance was established in 1987. These two international yoga alliances were established specifically to regulate the yoga industry. The assessment criteria of yoga instructors are extremely strict. If you want to become a yoga instructor, you must go through at least three years of systematic study and pass the exam, and the instructor needs to receive formal training in his future career. If a student is injured due to improper teaching by the coach, his teaching qualification will be cancelled. In China, yoga is not officially approved by the state at present, and the related coaches are not included in the occupational management sequence, which leads to the lack of effective supervision in the whole industry.
