In yoga teaching, the standard explanation is "reaching the limit of the body", and the greater the extent of stretching, twisting and bending, the better. Miss Li, a white-collar worker, has been practicing yoga for some time. Seeing that yoga can make her lose weight continuously, her enthusiasm for practicing yoga is getting higher and higher, constantly challenging high difficulties. One day, she practiced yoga as usual. After Japanese worship, she leaned back and the curvature of her back exceeded the limit, resulting in a brief syncope.
Teacher Zheng, the personal trainer of yoga, said that moderate yoga can bring emotional and physical benefits to the contacts, so it must be fully tested when practicing.
Consider your flexibility, balance and strength, follow the principle of doing what you can, and don't blindly increase your strength, which will lead to sports injuries.
But why do so many people get hurt while practicing yoga? Teacher Zheng said that due to the misunderstanding of yoga, practitioners often lead to a series of problems in overtraining, such as not knowing their physical strength, and practicing postures that are too difficult to adapt to and accumulate fatigue. In addition, another important reason is that people have a quick success and instant benefit mentality in yoga. When many people come to practice yoga, the first consideration is that it can lose weight, so they will feel anxious when practicing, which runs counter to the ancient yoga movement and ignores the peaceful mentality that yoga should have, which is also an important reason for the popularity of "yoga disease".
Tens of thousands of people in Europe and America go to the hospital because of a large number of improper postures, which makes "yoga disease" famous overseas, and also makes full-time "yoga doctors" in Europe and America very popular. Like some doctors in spinal neurology, after seeing the prevalence of yoga, dozens of people are injured every week because of improper yoga practice. After seeing the popularity of this industry, they turn to be "yoga doctors".
The reporter visited major hospitals and clinics and found that there is no full-time "yoga doctor" for the time being. An orthopedic surgeon in Dongguan said in an interview that some Dongguan patients suffered from ligament strain, cartilage tear and joint inflammation because they were forced to practice yoga, but in general, the number was small, and most of them practiced with the original intention of losing weight. Orthopedics or spinal neurologists in general hospitals can "digest" these patients, so they will not consider becoming full-time "yoga doctors".
Teacher Zheng, a personal yoga instructor, said that many people are more than a dozen instructors practicing yoga with one teacher at the same time. In fact, it is absolutely wrong for every practitioner to blindly train a certain yoga pose. If you really like yoga, consider hiring a personal yoga instructor, because practicing yoga requires a good yoga instructor to guide you. She will tell you how to listen to the deep demands of the body, improve the difficulty of practice step by step, and tailor the practice plan for you, so that you can enjoy the benefits of yoga and avoid the trouble of "yoga disease".
