The unforgettable first yoga class in those years. Do you still remember your first yoga class?

I was chatting in a group some time ago, and when talking about my first yoga class, someone said that it was a long time ago. The yoga teacher was either teaching yoga exercises, or was there again. Showing various difficult movements, or maybe doing a personal performance, completely ignoring that I am still a novice in the whole process... Then for various reasons, the first yoga class became the last yoga class.

I am recalling my first yoga class. It was a trial class, that is, you can take it for free and see how it feels. If it is good, then pay to continue learning. That yoga teacher She is very elegant, tall, thin, and has long hair. The first class is the sun salutation. Everyone knows the sun salutation. Although the posture seems relatively simple, it requires a little more flexibility, strength and balance. It doesn’t have to be any less than other poses. What’s more important is that the duration of holding one pose is enough to make me collapse.

What is even more unbearable is that although the yoga teacher was teaching in that class, he basically stayed by my side throughout the whole process, helping me adjust my posture, or asking me to continue to maintain it, especially the posture just now. The Cobra and Incline Plank poses at the beginning made my waist and stomach hurt, and the Downward Dog pose was even worse. After the class, I felt that there was no part of my body that was not in pain. But it made me feel that this teacher was responsible and benevolent, so I started learning yoga

We often say that everyone is suitable for practicing yoga, but we do not force everyone to like practicing yoga. After all, yoga It is a painful process. Whether you can practice yoga or not, my biggest feeling is fate. It depends on your fate with yoga and your fate with the teacher.

So, if you could go back in time, what would your first yoga class be like?

First of all, I hope someone will tell me what yoga is?

This topic is so broad that many yoga experts have been asking about it their entire lives. I also hope someone can tell me what yoga is? After practicing yoga for many years, I finally realized that yoga is an introspective exercise, and what I was pursuing from the beginning was superficial effects. Yoga is not about showing off skills or performing. It is about balancing the inside and outside of our bodies through postures and breathing, thereby alleviating pain caused by work or living conditions.

Yoga is not only composed of postures and breathing. Postures and breathing are also just stepping stones to our path to yoga. Through yoga, our body's muscle tissue can be balanced and the circulatory system can operate normally, thus giving A clean place for our souls to rest.

In the process of yoga, the first thing to benefit is the change in the body. After practice, our posture will become more and more straight, and the body's metabolic function will also be adjusted. Some people will lose weight because of yoga. , yoga can also adjust our sleep and improve our cervical spondylosis, frozen shoulder and other problems caused by improper postures.

But in the final analysis, yoga does not stop at the surface of the body. Various physical problems are obstacles on our way to peace. The practice of asanas is to remove obstacles. In the end, we all have to go deeper. Let’s go and experience the more benefits that yoga brings us.

After all, yoga is a discipline that combines art, religion, medicine, and anatomy.

Secondly, I wish my first yoga class was arranged like this

When I enter the classroom, someone will tell me what I should do instead of Because I don’t know anyone, I feel embarrassed and at a loss. During the process of adjusting my breath, I don’t need to forcefully ask me to close my eyes, because this will make me more nervous. Although the adjustment of my breath makes me Our senses are recycled from the outside in, allowing us to slowly experience that my body and I are in the present at this time, but I need to keep my eyes open and look at the teacher and classmates, so that I will feel more secure.

When singing OM, I hope that for the first time, I don’t have to sing along, because I don’t know how to do it, and I don’t know what the words and tunes are like. OM singing is a special skill. Deep knowledge is the first sound from the universe. It can make people feel calm and can also feel the fusion of my figure and the voices of people around me to produce huge energy. I don’t want to feel extremely embarrassed because I don’t know how to sound different from the public.

In the process of practicing asanas, I may not understand what the teacher said for the time being. Many professional concepts in yoga only understand the meaning after slowly learning. I hope that as long as my body allows Under certain circumstances, the teacher can help me and give me a direction to learn slowly. I also hope that the teacher understands that I may have difficulty breathing, because this is my first time to try such a pose.

In professional yoga classes, many people regard the practice of asanas as the key part of the class. However, if the previous breath management and OM are done well, this class will basically be successful. One-third, and the asanas are composed of standing, sitting, kneeling, prone, supine and other postures. The purpose is to comprehensively improve the coordination of the body and the connection between the body and the mind. We need to understand that yoga What we do in the process is not just the postures, but how to enter the postures, how to maintain the postures, and how to exit the postures.

The next step is the Rest Technique. I have said before that the Rest Technique is my favorite pose. After all, after a long period of torture, I can finally lie down and rest, but I I also hope that the teacher can gently guide me into the pose. In this pose, I may fall asleep because I am too tired and in pain. Therefore, I hope the teacher can forgive me instead of laughing at me.

Of course, after class, I hope that the teacher can tell me which parts of my body are stiffer and softer based on my performance in this class, instead of forcibly selling various monthly cards, quarterly cards, etc. Cards, annual passes, personal training, etc.

I am not a hypocritical person, I just need a guide for yoga; I don’t come to yoga classes to find services, I just hope that yoga can make me really change, nor do I hope that through yoga When I came to lose weight, I just wanted to become a better version of myself.

Of course, I also know that it is impossible to turn back time. After so many years of practice, I have become a very unprofessional yoga person, but I still hope that if one day I walk into the classroom and be the first For the first time in a yoga class, I still hope that my yoga class will be like this.

What about you? Do you still remember your first yoga class? If you could, what would you like your first yoga class to be like?
