The reaction of first-time listeners to yoga is that it involves a variety of difficult postures, and it requires very high flexibility on the body. But when you actually walk into it, you will find that yoga is not so demanding and is quite interesting. There are many types of yoga, including Pilates, Iyengar, Yin yoga, flow yoga, meditation, etc. Different yogas also emphasize different focuses, such as my favorite Yin yoga, ?♀?Yin Yoga is based on the foundation and experience of yoga practice, combined with the advantages of medicine, and the essence of Chinese Taoism and martial arts. Yin yoga emphasizes relaxation of the entire body, clearing away all distracting thoughts and combining it with slow, natural breathing. Maintaining movements for a long time exercises the bones and their connecting tissues, regulates the nervous system, and enhances endurance in a state of complete relaxation of the muscles to achieve a state of unity of body and mind. Let’s talk about meditation. Meditation is a technique and way of achieving samadhi in yoga. It completely focuses the heart, mind and spirit in the original beginning; the ultimate goal is to guide people to the realm of liberation. Yogis use meditation to subdue the mind and transcend material desires; they feel direct communication with the original cause. By simply practicing meditation, you can help people say goodbye to negative emotions and enjoy life again.

In everyone’s eyes, a teacher’s extracurricular life may consist of preparing lessons and correcting homework. As a new teacher born in the 1990s, I prefer to spend my free time on things I like. So yoga became a bridge for me to balance life and work. When you feel unwell, relax your muscles and bones, and when you feel complicated, use meditation to relax your brain. Over time, yoga became an integral part of me.

I came into contact with yoga when I was in college. Because I always had sore shoulders and necks from practicing piano, at the encouragement of my roommate, we went to the gym near the school to apply for a fitness card, because girls are not familiar with those equipments and so on. I’m not very interested. Naturally, the most classes I take are yoga classes, almost three times a week. Every time I stretch, I feel my whole body relax. The shoulder and neck pain caused by daily piano practice is also very effectively relieved, so What I looked forward to most in college was to take yoga classes. I used the schedule every week to study which classes I was going to take. At that time, it was probably more simple because I thought it would be good for my health and it would enrich my college life, so I insisted on taking the yoga class. Two years. That’s how I got involved with yoga in college.

Two years later, I returned to Anji after graduation and chose a career as a teacher, but I did not give up my small hobby of yoga. At that time, I happened to have a sister in my family who opened a yoga studio in Anji. , I also exercised with my sister. Whenever I was tired from work during the day, I would go to a yoga class in the evening. After the exercise, the pain in my body seemed to dissipate. I continued to keep in touch for two years after graduation. Every time classes were suspended for more than a week, I felt like something was missing from my life.

I had a deeper understanding of yoga when I was pregnant and after I became pregnant. I have always been very determined about doing yoga exercises during pregnancy. In my previous exercises, I saw many Examples of pregnant women who alleviated various discomforts during pregnancy because of exercise. So as soon as three months passed, I signed up for a one-to-one pregnancy yoga course. Pregnancy yoga is mainly based on Pilates exercises. Since I have a good foundation in previous exercises, the postures of pregnant women are quite easy for me. I would try more difficult exercises until the day before I went into the hospital. The exercise throughout the entire pregnancy resulted in no edema in any part of my body, no pain during pregnancy, and no cold or other uncomfortable symptoms during the entire pregnancy. Due to the effective training of various functions during pregnancy, my delivery process was extremely smooth. After giving birth, I was not immersed in the joy of new life. The bigger problem for me was the recovery of my figure and the soreness of my shoulders and neck caused by breastfeeding. It's back again. Within two months, I will do some simple asanas at home to relieve inner irritability and physical pain.

As soon as two months passed, I immediately went to the yoga studio to exercise. According to my physical discomfort and the body shape that needed to be corrected, the teacher made a plan for me. Slowly, I followed the teacher. At the same pace, I gradually got on the right track from shoulder and neck relief to body shaping. I have continued to exercise after pregnancy until now. Not only will I get effective physical relief, but it will also mentally relax you from the stressful work and life after having a child. This is a great way to relieve postpartum depression for mothers. I feel that I did not have much negative physical or psychological effects during the entire maternity leave. Even after I have been working for so long, I have not stopped doing yoga. After having a child, my life has become busier, so I have reduced the frequency of yoga to twice a week. I think this is my way to reduce stress. , by the way, it relaxes the body very well. I think this little hobby of mine can’t be overstated by anyone. It’s not difficult and has no technical requirements. It doesn’t matter when you start. After going through the entire pregnancy, from pregnancy to delivery to postpartum, I have a deeper understanding of the feeling of yoga, from simply relieving my shoulder and neck pain in college to relieving stress since joining the work to giving me The positive impact brought about by pregnancy and childbirth, my feelings about yoga, from the initial introduction to later love to now habit, can be said to be a very natural transition. I don’t force myself, I don’t feel unhappy, and I don’t have negative energy. To say that everything is set up in a relaxed environment is its power. I am responsible for my work, and I love yoga. In the past few years, it has had a positive impact on my life and brought me positive energy. I want to say that in the next few years or even decades, I will I all hope that I can stick to this little hobby, use it to spice up my life, and balance my life and work.

Yoga teacher guidance

In recent years, the social pressure on teachers has been relatively high. We often see similar news on the Internet about a certain teacher falling on the podium. Really I can appreciate the dedication of teachers who burn themselves to illuminate others, but teachers also have families and their own lives. After building up their own bodies and minds, we are more prepared to be responsible for our children. Every teacher may have his own way of relieving stress. Some teachers like photography, some like growing flowers, some like reading, and some like painting. I think we all have our own hobbies that enrich our lives and relieve us. pressure. I also very much hope that teachers who have never been exposed to yoga can have a preliminary understanding of this sport, stretch their bodies, move their muscles and bones, and make your life better.

Small hobbies are really wonderful for teachers. A teacher who loves to grow flowers will feel extremely happy when he sees his flowers blooming quietly; a teacher who loves photography will feel proud when he sees his photography works admired by students; a teacher who loves reading books will feel proud when he hears the books he recommends I feel happy when I receive good reviews, as if the book was written by myself; and I like the teachers who practice yoga. After every practice, my body and mind are well relaxed. This kind of inner joy cannot be found in work or perceived in life. This kind of beauty can only be found in one's own love. I hope all our teachers can find and stick to their hobbies.
