Content: Yin yoga, labelled ‘lazy yoga’ (you spend most of this yoga class lying on your mat – not a dynamic sun salutation in sight), is becoming one of the most requested classes in the city.

As London attempts to return to normal, it seems we are reaching for a movement practice that heals as well as invigorates.

Yin yoga is helping us release the trauma and tension of the past two years and find a sense of ease again and people are flocking to these classes,’ says yin teacher Dirish Shaktidas, who runs regular yin yoga sessions at Yogarise studio, in Streatham, London, which now provides daily classes due to the dramatic increase in demand.

It’s the same story, city-wide, with yin classes becoming the most booked class at gyms and studios across the capital since re-opening their doors post pandemic. Why?

‘We are all craving gentle yoga to help restore and nurture ourselves back to health after the constant and persistent stress of the past two years,’ says Paula Hines, whose new book Rest +Calm, about using the power of restorative yoga to heal our lives, launches this week.

Hines became a fan of yin and restorative yoga when she left a career in television over ten years ago and retrained as a yoga teacher.

‘I was burnt out but when I committed to a daily 20-minute practice of savasana (lying still and relaxed on my back) for a year,’ she tells Metro.co.uk. ‘It transformed my health and my life.’

In Covid lockdowns, Hines hosted yin and restorative yoga sessions online. ‘People who were completely new to yoga were signing up,’ she notes. ‘Intuitively, they knew yin yoga would help them through the pandemic.

‘But now they are continuing to practice because it helps them on a daily basis to feel good and less anxious.’

What is yin yoga and how will it help you?

Yin yoga is a slow and therapeutic style of yoga, in contrast to the more dynamic yang styles such as ashtanga or vinyasa, and is mostly done lying down on the mat.

The concept of yin and yang has its roots in Taoism/Daoism, a Chinese religion and philosophy, which states that all things exist as inseparable and contradictory opposites. Yin represents the receiving force, yang the active. Neither pole is superior to the other but a balance between two poles is recommended in order to achieve ‘harmony’.

In yin yoga, postures are mainly passive versus active, held for three to five minutes, encouraging the body to relax into a posture, working deeply into the fascia, the connective tissues of the body.

Yin yoga is known for radically improving your flexibility and releasing any tension that you may be holding. By deep breathing and targeting the fascia, you increase blood flow and circulation which encourages every organ to function properly, helping wounds heal faster and keeping your brain sharp.

It also helps you feel better emotionally. Studies have proven that yin yoga lowers stress, anxiety and reduces the risk of depression – by activating our parasympathetic nervous system, which calms the body and slows your heart rate rather than stimulating the sympathetic nervous system, which triggers your fight-or-flight response.

‘Even though it might appear as though nothing much is happening, there is deep rejuvenation taking placing underneath the surface in a way that zoning out in front of Netflix or watching a back to back box does not achieve,’ says Hines.

Working on your inner energy pathways

Yin yoga is not just a feel-good exercise or relaxation class though, says Sarah Powers, one of the world’s best known and most respected yin yoga teachers and author of Lit from Within.

‘I often call Yin yoga a needle-less acupuncture session,’ she says. ‘Our body’s energy flow can densify, calcify, or stagnate when we don’t move our bodies outside of our more habitual ranges of motion.

‘Obviously, this is why we do yoga postures. But coming into a pose in a consciously slow yin way and staying for many minutes at a time helps us go into deeper energy corridors within and helps us creates a space to ventilate any kind of inner stuckness.

‘Yin teaches us to pause and to soften, to listen to ourselves and to observe and be mindful of our feelings and observe the physical and emotional resistances in our bodies.

‘As soon as we start observing versus resisting, our inner landscape begins to shift and morph. We are no longer stuck.’

Post-Covid, when the world is re-evaluating and reassessing our ‘yang ways’ of working too long and too hard, yin invites you to stop doing and start being, stop pushing and start opening up to new possibilities.

Powers suggests that we combine our yoga practice with journaling and powerful questions like: What if I didn’t tell myself that I wasn’t enough? What do I know about myself that only a wise person would see in me?

‘When we can listen more deeply to ourselves, we can listen more deeply to others, which creates more intimacy and humility, more connection,’ says Powers.

Shaktidas agrees. ‘We heal by slowing down and reconnecting to our sense of self.’

It can also help us process all the information that is being thrown at us, he suggests. In a week where we are been being bombarded by the 24/7 news about the war in Ukraine, it may be a good time to explore new ways of dealing with the constant stimuli.

‘Practising yin yoga quietens the noise and helps you release anxiety,’ he says.

Sarah Alice Lee was a photographer in New Zealand when she took her first yin yoga class: ‘I’m not being overdramatic, but yin yoga quite literally saved my life,’ she tells us. ‘I was living in New Zealand when the Christchurch Earthquakes of 2010 and 2011 hit and I became highly stressed and my physical health and mental health declined rapidly.

‘No amount of running or consumption of wine seemed to achieve a state of relaxation or equilibrium in my body that I was so desperately needing.

Lee was diagnosed with depression and prescribed antidepressants but felt like she ‘was surviving rather than living’. Yin yoga helped her turn her life around.

She says: ‘Rather than keeping busy, trying to sweep my emotions and stresses under the rug in order to get through each day, I gave myself permission to be still, to stop running, stop with the distractions, stop the numbing and allow myself to feel, truly connected to me.’

Lee found the process so transformative that she trained as a yoga teacher, moved back to the UK and now hosts workshops and classes.

‘I didn’t think I was going to change career and become a yoga teacher, but the practice was so transformative that I became evangelical and just want to spread the word,’ she says.

Hines is equally evangelical ‘Yin yoga is about making space and time to come back home to yourself.’

Aerial Yoga and Yoga Wheel Exercises Need Assistive Tools to Improve Urban Pain
Let ’ s introduce two types of yoga that have emerged in recent years and require assistive devices, namely “Aerial Yoga ” and“ Yoga Wheel ”.
When it comes to the most popular type of yoga, it must be Aerial Yoga.
Aerial yoga, also known as “anti-gravity yoga ”, practitioners suspended their bodies through a hanging cloth hammock hanging from the ceiling, allowing the body to maintain balance and stay in mid-air under the influence of gravity. It is suitable for people who want to train core muscles, balance, improve the body ’ s sense of coordination and softness, and enhance hand grip and muscle strength.
Aerial yoga can significantly increase blood circulation, and the practice process will often "burst sweat", which is quite relaxing; among them, the movement of air inversion has a traction effect, which can have a physiological effect on the spine.
The practice of aerial yoga tends to "sweat", which is quite relaxing; it is also suitable for women who want to improve their posture to put out a variety of beautiful positions in the air.

Yoga Wheel is a class of yoga classes conducted on the ground. The yoga wheel is like a hollow wheel, which is used to expand the stretching space, assist the balance of the back bend, and so on.
The use of yoga wheels for posterior curvature allows the spine to get more space for stretching, strengthening the stretching of the chest muscles and waist muscles, thereby increasing lung capacity and enhancing cardiopulmonary function.
The biggest attraction of yoga wheels is the ability to specifically improve shoulder and neck pain, camel back, and waist tightness.

Hatha Yoga focuses on breathing and extends many branches
Hatha Yoga is the oldest and most widely practiced form of yoga. “Hatha ” is Sanskrit, meaning“ power ”.
Hatha Yoga is a combination of breathing, dark thoughts and asanas. The purpose of the practice is to purify the spirit by mastering the body, and ultimately connect to spirituality.
Different body styles can effectively coordinate different parts of the bones and muscles, and help promote blood circulation throughout the body, while breathing can effectively increase lung capacity.
Practice Hatha Yoga with an emphasis on controlling your breathing and focusing on feeling each position without having to obsess over making the perfect posture.
The practitioner calms the mind, calms the mind, and boosts the spirit.
Various types of yoga extended by Hatha Yoga, such as gentle yoga, yin yoga, detoxification yoga, yoga therapy, etc., have more targeted effects.

Various branches of Hatha Yoga, from mind to physiotherapy, suitable for different needs
Gentle Yoga focuses on stretching and breathing, not on extreme flexibility or strength.
Body style includes sitting stretching, standing posture, forward bending and low impact back bending exercises.
For people with zero basics, gentle yoga is the best starting choice.
Yin Yoga, which focuses on meditation and meditation, is a “passive ” practice. The essence is to“ give in ”, learn how to let go of the struggle and allow things to happen naturally, so that the practitioner can calm his mind and gain more powerful mental energy.
Each session lasts about three to five minutes, which is longer than other types of yoga, and assistive devices can be used to support the longer session.
Since there is no standing posture in Yin Yoga, the practice focuses on the pelvis, hip, lower abdomen, spine and other parts, which can enhance the softness of the lower body and promote blood circulation, especially for women and pregnant women.

Detox yoga focuses on systematically stretching and compressing every part of the body.
The body consists of pushing, pulling, twisting, squeezing and stretching.
These actions can stimulate some organs with detoxification function. They help the body to expel toxins and unnecessary substances to achieve detoxification and slimming effects.

Yoga Physical is the application of yoga practice to treatment, by combining the human meridian and yoga movements, thereby promoting blood circulation, adjusting metabolism, improving the function of body parts, and achieving the purpose of relieving pain.
Depending on the area you want to improve, such as shoulders and neck, pelvis, legs and hips, the posture of each yoga session may vary.
TriAngel Yoga was founded by experienced yoga instructors.
Some of the types of yoga mentioned above can be practiced on their own, but if you want to focus on the types of yoga, you need to have professional guidance. TriAngel Yoga is founded by experienced yoga teachers and has a variety of learning modes, suitable for different levels of practitioners.
Take Aerial Yoga as an example, although there are many challenging styles, but the teacher will gradually guide the beginners, with ease, pleasure, stress reduction, and self-confidence as the focus of the class.

With professional guidance, you can avoid injury and learn the correct posture.

Yoga for beginners: seven basic exercises for the whole body
Yoga is often understood as physical exercise for stretching.
But that's not exactly true.
Yoga is a whole system of different practices that develops the body and spirit of a person.
In a broad sense, yoga is a way of life, behind which there is a certain worldview and philosophical knowledge about the principles of the world order and the place of a person in the world.
The basic concepts of yoga were formulated between the second and fourth centuries BC, but they do not lose their relevance today.
Even then, the father of modern yoga guru Patanjali compiled his famous Yoga Sutras - a set of 196 aphorisms that reveal the essence and philosophy of yoga.
This legendary treatise is divided into eight sections.
The first two talk about lifestyle, that yoga should lead a quiet life, be benevolent, take care of physical and mental hygiene and meditate.
Negative feelings need to be completely eradicated, as they do not bring any benefit.
The third and fourth sections deal with the physical side of yoga.
It contains a detailed description of asanas - exercises that contribute to increasing vital energy and improving the physical body.
The last four sections deal with the evolution of the mind and mental qualities of a person through meditation and training of mental abilities.
In the modern world, of course, yoga is considered rather as gymnastics, strengthening the body.
Doing yoga regularly, you can increase the overall level of health, adjust the work of individual organs, adjust the figure, “tighten ” muscles and skin.
Who benefits from yoga?
Yoga classes are suitable for almost everyone.
This is not a sport, but rather exercise therapy, so you can start practicing yoga at any age.
There is yoga for children, for the elderly and even for future mothers.
Starting to do yoga, do not worry that you may not be mobile enough.
Yoga is designed to develop flexibility and plasticity.
As a health practice, yoga is useful in the following cases:
problems with the spine; arthritis and arthrosis; chronic fatigue syndrome; anxiety; insomnia and poor sleep; internal stress, the effects of stress; asthenia; vascular dystonia; functional disorders of internal organs; PMS; and, of course, if you are just a person and have a body))
Do not lose sight of the fact that there are contraindications in yoga.
Do not engage in yoga without prior consultation with your doctor when:
• with mental disorders;
• exacerbation of diseases of internal organs;
• in the case of heart disease, joints;
• with colds and with fever;
• after the operation;
• Oncology.
What is Yoga?
There are many directions of yoga, but not all are suitable for those who are just getting acquainted with this practice.
Which one to choose?
For those who want to study at home, at a calm pace, hatha yoga is suitable.
All other forms of yoga originate from this direction.
Hatha combines meditation, pranayama (breathing technique), relaxation, and fairly simple exercises.
Classical hatha yoga is aimed primarily at the development of the physical body - the elimination of muscle blocks and clamps, the normalization of metabolic processes in the body, posture correction and strengthening of the muscular corset, the emancipation of all the joints of the body, the stabilization of the emotional and hormonal background.
For people with weakened health, during rehabilitation after surgery, the elderly, overweight people, pregnant people, as well as for completely new to yoga, it is better to choose Iyengara-yoga.
This simple direction introduces beginners to the course with exercises that are performed not on speed, but on stretching the muscles.
For the correct performance of poses in practice, supports are often used:
• blankets;
• blocks;
• belts;
• rollers.
For more mobile and restless, as well as for those who have already managed to get acquainted with yoga, ashtanga yoga is suitable.
It differs from hatha yoga in that there is necessarily a connecting element between asanas: movement and breathing, on which static poses are strung like beads on a fishing line.
Ashtanga yoga is quite dynamic and helps to direct excess energy in the right direction.
But such practices require good physical training, so it can hardly be considered as the initial stage of yoga at home.
For the most active people, power yoga is also suitable - a relatively new direction compared to other types of yoga.
It should be borne in mind that the load on the body is even more intense than in ashtanga yoga.
Strength yoga is not for beginners, but it is an ideal compromise for those who prefer yoga to functional workouts.
Power yoga helps to increase flexibility, develops endurance and quickly puts the body in order with minimal trauma.
Kundalini yoga will be especially interesting for those who focus on spiritual development.
This direction is based on meditation, asanas, chanting mantras, breathing exercises and concentration of consciousness.
The very practice of kundalini yoga does not imply special physical training, however, as home yoga for beginners, it will not work.
It is better to learn this direction under the guidance of an instructor.
Although it is a physical activity, but not intense, at a calm pace, does not require long-term muscle recovery, as, for example, after training in the gym or functional training.
For the practice of yoga, unlike many other areas, no special equipment or equipment is needed.
You only need a rug or any non-slip coating, comfortable clothes, a place for training and desire.
General recommendations for yoga classes: cheat sheet for beginners
Yoga, like any other physical activity, loves regularity and constancy.
2-3 times a week for 1-1.5 hours is ideal.
But it is quite possible to practice every day, especially if the training is short in time, such as the Surya Namaskar complex (greeting the Sun).
Any yoga session – at home or in the fitness center, for beginners or for advanced – always starts with warming up exercises.
This is to prepare the joints and muscles for the upcoming practice and prevent possible stretching or injury.
In yoga classes, it is necessary to include “standing ” static asanas.
They help strengthen the ligaments and muscles around the joints.
After deflections, it is necessary to perform compensating asanas, that is, alternate deflections with slopes.
It is important for the health of the spine.
These simple rules will help make yoga classes not only effective, but also safe.
And by doing yoga exercises conscientiously and regularly, you can achieve impressive results: the body will become flexible, and the mind – clear.
A set of asanas (exercises) for beginners
Mountain pose (Tadasana)

Lie down on the mat smoothly and comfortably, place your hands along the torso with your palms up.
Spread your legs a little.
Close your eyes.
Feel complete relaxation, try to get rid of all thoughts and just observe the sensations in the body.
This mini-complex takes only 15-20 minutes and can be performed every day as a morning charge.

Content: If you want to play fancy punch power, you can't do small aerial yoga fairies need to practice muscle.
Post Date: November 02, 2021
Aerial yoga fever has swept Asia in the past two or three years, and many stars have been seen on social media wrapped around their bodies with silk cloths, hanging in the air like fairies to make a "beautiful mirror" stretching action, and fashionable ladies are also eager to try.
But these seemingly effortless movements, in fact, the difficulty is not small, must have a certain core muscle and upper limb strength to do, no expert guidance, should not be casually imitated!
New School Yoga Exercises All Body Muscles
Aerial yoga is the use of silk to create a suspended hammock (hammock) to support the body, or the silk wrapped around the body, to practice various yoga styles.
Ariel, a tutor with 3 years of experience in aerial yoga, pointed out that the traditional yoga done on the ground is also known as “Hatha Yoga ” and has a history of more than 1,000 years in India.
Aerial yoga has only begun to develop in the last 10 years and belongs to the new school of yoga.
When it comes to yoga, the first thing that people think of may be the beautiful stretching exercises that improve body flexibility and posture.
The word Hatha means “power ” in Sanskrit, and“ ha ” is the sun, and “da ” refers to the moon. Hatha yoga is practiced to better control the body and achieve physical, mental and spiritual integration, so meditation, breathing exercises, etc., are also important parts of yoga practice.
Ariel said: “Modern aerial yoga combines pilate and dance movements, and the movement is beautiful. ” Compared to the pursuit of spiritual fit, new yoga, such as aerial yoga, is closer to exercise and can exercise the muscles of the whole body, which is based on the strength of the upper limbs and core muscles.
Just because the history of aerial yoga is not long, Ariel said that there is still no specific set of "standard" actions and processes, and different instructors have different methods and styles of interpretation.
High strength, low muscle strength, foot shock.
The aerial yoga posture is very beautiful, so that the beautiful woman who loves to "punch" is eager to try, but it is absolutely not low in physical and muscle strength requirements.
The common action is to grasp the silk cloth with both hands, using the strength of the arm and back to lift the whole person. "People with zero movement foundation, when they first started school, they will be very hard, especially women's upper limb strength is usually insufficient, can not support the body, but men learn to have advantages."
Since the whole person is supported by a hammock, it is necessary to have strong core muscle strength to keep the hammock stable, otherwise it is impossible to shake around and complete the action.
She stressed that the fancy posture is supported by the arm and abdomen, and the intensity of the exercise is very high. Even if you practice a little or just do a punch, you will be panting after a while.
Ariel said that usually 1 hour novice air yoga session, the instructor will lead the students to do 40 minutes of warm-up stretching, thoroughly stretching the chest, back and leg parts to avoid injury; next about 10 minutes to train the core muscle group, the last 10 minutes to do some more difficult "punch" fancy action.
"For students who have no basic exercise, 10 minutes of fancy (movement) exercise is enough, for example, when beginners step on a hammock, some people will have a foot shock due to lack of muscle strength."
Therefore, Ariel believes that students have a foundation for exercise, which is helpful for learning aerial yoga.
Ariel says that beginners can start with simple stretching exercises. “Hanging bed is like an auxiliary tool to help you do things you can ’ t do in normal times, such as inverting. In traditional yoga, it is an advanced movement, but with hanging bed help, new hands can do 1 or 2 lessons. ”
It's not a good idea to watch a movie and learn by yourself.
In the era of Internet development, why not go online and follow the video content to teach yourself, save a tuition fee, and rent yourself a place to play? Ariel said, this idea is not advisable, "novice definitely not! Aerial yoga has a lot of action, especially fancy, once you do the wrong steps, tense hands will fall from high, the consequences can be very small."
She suggested that the trainees should have at least half a year of aerial yoga experience, and have a certain foundation to rent a venue for practice.
In addition, there are also some safety issues to pay attention to when playing aerial yoga, such as movement, "aerial yoga has a lot of movement of the body with silk cloth, but try not to tighten joints, such as wrists, elbows, ankles and other positions, otherwise it is easy to sprain."
In terms of clothing, it is advisable to wear yoga leggings or comfortable sports pants, "many actions will tighten the thighs and pelvis, to avoid excessive friction between the hammock and the skin, and it is best to have close clothing protection."

How to be good at yoga

More people than ever are learning how to be good at yoga, especially since the pandemic made working out at home a priority for millions during lockdown. Named by the American College of Sports Medicine as one of the top 20 worldwide fitness trends for 2021, yoga is a consistently popular and effective way to exercise. The benefits of yoga are truly remarkable, and it is widely accepted that yoga can help you lose weight, build muscle and even fix your posture

Here, we take a look at some of the key things you need to get started, dispel common yoga myths such as that you have to be super flexible to be good at yoga, and explain how and why it’s so beneficial for your core.

Once you're ready to start practicing, make sure you read through our round-up of the best yoga mats, where we rank popular yoga mats such as the Sweaty Betty Super Grip Yoga Mat and Lululemon 5mm Yoga Mat

How to be good at yoga

From Ashtanga to Bikram and Hatha yoga, there are many different types of yoga out there—each with their own benefits.

But if you’re new to this form of exercise, you might be wondering how to be good at yoga?

The first thing to do is find a class!

Most gyms and fitness centers will have yoga sessions on their timetables or you could look at attending a class at a more specialized yoga studio. Here you may find a wider choice of sessions, instructors and different types of yoga available.

The key, according to TV sports presenter and qualified yoga teacher Alexandra Legouix, is to look for a class which is suitable for beginners.

Attending an entry level class will help you get comfortable with the basics without the pressure of trying to keep up with more experienced participants or feeling intimidated by more advanced poses. If you prefer working out at home, you could also find an online yoga tutorial or use a DVD as your guide.

Yoga blocks are also good for beginners to provide support and help you work at your own level or you could try a chair yoga class for a more gentle introduction.

As Alexandra points out, you should check out the credentials of the person teaching you, as “If you are following a DVD or online class, it’s very important you choose one that is being taught by an accredited practitioner, as you are not getting the hands-on guidance which you would get in a class.”

Regular practice can lead to improvement, so it’s a good idea to commit to a few sessions per week.

Alexandra recommends three times a week "as a good way of getting into a routine, that also gives you time for rest days."

But she believes people shouldn’t feel obligated or pressured to attend a certain number of sessions.

Instead your yoga practice should fit into your lifestyle and alongside any other fitness activities you’re participating in.

And if you’re struggling for time, a quick 10-15 minute stretching or meditation session can be a great start to the day.

Do you have to be flexible to be good at yoga?

While the thought of yoga can conjure up images of super-flexible people in poses which may seem impossible, it’s encouraging to hear from the experts like Alexandra that you don’t have to be super bendy to enjoy the practice.

"You don’t have to be flexible to be good at yoga—that’s such a common myth. I never encourage people straightaway to try and touch the floor with their legs straight."

Alexandra advises building up gradually and easing your way into poses; increasing blood flow and warming up your muscles makes you more comfortable in the poses and increases flexibility.

How can yoga help your core?

Yoga is very core-focused—if you don’t control your core, you won’t be able to balance correctly or stay in position.

Yoga and breathwork teacher Laura Pearce said: "There are quite a few aspects of most yoga practices that help to improve core strength.

"There is the obvious balance work that wakes up proprioceptors and helps strengthen the neurological connections that help us 'access our core' and there are the big abdominal moves in dynamic practices, namely the high-low plank combo of the Chaturanga Vinyasa sequence.

"There are also lots of intense oblique activating poses, such as side plank, half-moon, where you're facing sideways with one arm and leg lifted high, the other limbs touching the floor, and let's not forget the backbend work we do in yoga, which strengthens the lower back and glutes."

For serious core strengthening, Laura recommended Forrest Yoga who use an opening sequence of sit-ups, as well as most Power, Rocket, Ashtanga or other very dynamic practices.

As well as physical poses, the breathwork involved in yoga is also good for strengthening the core.

She added: "What a lot of people don't realise is that the diaphragm is one of our biggest and most important core muscles. The diaphragm stabilises the spine and connects to so many important deep set muscles, such as your Psoas.

“In most yoga practices, breathwork is a big portion of what we do. We work with cultivating a strong, mobile diaphragm through breathing and also literally engaging the diaphragms of the body in Uddiyana and Mula Bandha aka 'tummy and root lock'. These practices are tough, and take a long time to cultivate, but have a profound effect on our deep, deep core."

Practicing yoga three times a week can lead to optimal improvement.

Non-traditional yoga practices can support clients' physical, mental, and emotional health.

The Benefits of Yoga and Meditation for Mind-Body Wellness

Yoga and meditation have emerged as powerful practices that promote mind-body wellness, helping individuals find inner peace, reduce stress, and improve physical health.

In this article, we will explore the numerous benefits of yoga and meditation and how they contribute to achieving a harmonious and healthy mind-body connection. By incorporating these practices into our daily lives, we can enhance our well-being and experience a greater sense of calm and vitality.

The Benefits of Yoga and Meditation for Mind-Body Wellness

1. Cultivating Mindfulness and Presence

Yoga and meditation encourage the cultivation of mindfulness and presence, allowing individuals to be fully engaged in the present moment. By focusing on the breath, sensations, and thoughts without judgment, practitioners develop a heightened sense of awareness and learn to embrace the present moment, rather than dwelling on the past or worrying about the future. This practice of mindfulness brings a sense of clarity, peace, and contentment.

2. Stress Reduction and Emotional Well-being

Both yoga and meditation are powerful tools for stress reduction and promoting emotional well-being. Engaging in yoga postures, known as asanas, helps release physical tension stored in the body and activates the relaxation response. Combined with deep breathing and meditation techniques, yoga helps calm the nervous system and reduces stress hormones, leading to a sense of calm and relaxation. Regular practice can also enhance emotional resilience and improve overall mental health.

3. Improved Physical Flexibility and Strength

Yoga incorporates a wide range of physical poses that promote flexibility, strength, and balance. The practice involves stretching and elongating the muscles, improving joint mobility, and increasing overall flexibility. As individuals progress in their practice, they gradually build strength, particularly in the core muscles, contributing to better posture and overall physical stability.

4. Enhancing Mind-Body Connection

Yoga & meditation emphasize the connection between the mind and the body. Through conscious movement, individuals learn to listen to their bodies, respect their limits, and cultivate a deeper understanding of their physical sensations and abilities. This increased awareness allows practitioners to make informed choices that support their overall well-being and prevents overexertion or injury.

5. Boosting Energy and Vitality

Contrary to popular belief, yoga, and meditation can invigorate the body and boost energy levels. Through gentle movements, deep breathing, and focused attention, yoga and meditation help release tension, clear energy blockages, and activate the body's natural energy centers. As a result, individuals often experience increased vitality, improved sleep patterns, and a greater sense of overall well-being.

6. Improved Cognitive Function and Mental Clarity

Regular yoga & meditation practices have been linked to improved cognitive function and mental clarity. The combination of physical movement, breath awareness, and mindfulness helps quiet the mind, improve concentration, and enhance mental focus. As a result, individuals often experience increased productivity, creativity, and a greater ability to handle challenges and make clear decisions.

7. Promoting Overall Health and Well-being

Yoga and meditation have a positive impact on overall physical health. The practices help regulate blood pressure, strengthen the immune system, improve digestion, and support healthy organ function. Additionally, the stress-reducing effects of these practices can have a beneficial impact on heart health, reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

The benefits of yoga and meditation extend beyond physical fitness and relaxation. These practices offer a holistic approach to mind-body wellness, promoting mindfulness, reducing stress, enhancing emotional well-being, improving physical flexibility and strength, boosting energy levels, and fostering a greater sense of overall well-being.

By incorporating yoga & meditation into our daily routines, we can nurture our mind-body connection and experience the transformative effects of these ancient practices. Embrace the journey of self-discovery and embark on a path of enhanced well-being with yoga and meditation.

On the contrary, air yoga in the hanging cloth swing action, there is no stable support point, all rely on the active contraction and extension of the trunk muscles, on the abdomen, back, core strength requirements are quite high, if the stability is not enough to fall, the damage is often not small.
Under the correct guidance of the coach, even people who do not have a sports foundation can still achieve sports benefits through air yoga practice. However, it is undeniable that any exercise can bring sports injury. Wang Yixi has seen many patients injured by air yoga in the clinic. There are three types of injuries, the most common of which are:
1. Fingers: When you start to practice empty yoga, you will often be nervous and do not feel too hard to grasp the hanging cloth, resulting in finger arthritis.
Beginners are too nervous, and there are even many examples of blisters in the palm.
Especially for mature women, they may do a lot of housework, have pain in their fingers, or have degenerative arthritis in their own fingers, and they are more likely to have finger pain due to scratching cloth.

If none of these core muscles initiate contraction, the weight of the body may all fall on the shoulders, which can lead to arthritis of the shoulder and tendinitis of the shoulder.
At this time, it is necessary to rely on an experienced coach to correct the posture and guide the students to use the core strength of the torso, and not to use brute force to climb the hanging cloth.
3. Injuries caused by falling: Sometimes students are too anxious to challenge more difficult movements in advance, such as swinging the rope, hanging cloth around the circle, dancing / air ring rotation, but the muscle strength is not enough, using the way to climb the hanging cloth, careless action is not accurate, lose balance, will fall, cause serious injury.
Dr. Wang Yixian of Taiwan has seen patients with shoulder fractures, wrist fractures, broken tendons, and neck injuries caused by the fall of air Yu, and serious needs surgery or wearing a pair of wood for three months.
When challenging high-difficulty movements, remember to pay attention to your physical condition. Do not challenge when you are tired, staying up late, dizzy, or injured.

Wang said: "Sports injuries are most afraid of long-term accumulation and become chronic injuries that cannot heal themselves.
If a normal organization receives a minor injury and continues to train after it is fully repaired, the organization will become stronger and stronger.
However, if the major injury does not have enough rest and repair, repeated injuries accumulate into chronic inflammation, which will accelerate the deterioration of the body's tissues.
When the body has been injured, it is necessary to allow the body to recover and rest. Generally, arthritis and tendinitis can be fully recovered after rest and treatment.
How do people distinguish between a big injury or a small injury?
"Small injuries usually improve naturally after 3-5 days of rest and return to feeling no pain."
If the pain is more than a week and there are no natural signs of improvement, it is recommended to check it before continuing to exercise. ” Wang explained that if the major injury is not completely repaired, it will continue to accumulate, and long-term muscle strength will become weaker and weaker.

There have been patients who share that when you want to push your hand out, you can ’ t move, and your muscle strength can ’ t be exercised. After examination, it really is inflammation of the shoulder joints.
The occurrence of sports injuries is often because of the overload of the action, Wang Yixi reminded: "The general public exercise is to promote health, not to compete for awards, at this time no matter what type of exercise, grasp the most important principle is the pursuit of" muscle acid, exercise "feeling, to avoid the pain caused by tendon joints, and do not blindly pursue lifting, how far, climb how high."
If you experience pain during exercise, it is recommended to ask the coach to adjust the posture or choose alternative movements. "
When playing Sky Yu, it is recommended to establish a correct and good sports attitude. No matter whether the coach or the students are eager to show off, they will immediately take a very powerful action to show off, and continue to exercise under the correct concept to train the body muscles, strengthen the core strength, and improve the body quality.

3 years of epidemic has made the public pay more attention to health, and the long-lasting yoga movement has also been favored by various ethnic groups.
American style heat flow yoga is relatively new in the Taiwan market, with brisk pop music, less calm, more vitality of aerobic exercise; pay attention to the sense of flow, but also add strength and cardiopulmonary training, more comprehensive exercise, not boring, and hot yoga field and advantages, prompting the trainer to sweat a lot, accelerate the body metabolism and energy consumption, can be said to meet many wishes at once.
The sports industry has also undergone a considerable change in the way the annual pricing and full payment of membership binding customization is no longer favored by consumers. The studios that smell business opportunities have launched short-term plans. People can adjust their consumption plans at any time according to their needs, taking into account the economic and training benefits.
Not only that, but with the development of international tourism, business and education in Taiwan, English-friendly sports spaces have also become the latest trend.
Foreign consumers living in Taiwan can also find a relatively adaptable Western-style teaching style and communicate with the same people.
Yoga teacher Betty17 years to travel to and from the United States, Taiwan teaching, found that Taiwan 's special American thermal mobile yoga classroom is very rare, decided to set up his own studio in Taipei, Den Yoga, hope that everyone can return to the comfort of the corner of the home, relax and enjoy the joy of exercise while listening to music.
Compared with the use of geothermal and heating, Den Yoga introduces a far infrared heating system, so that students can still keep their breathing smooth and body active when training in a high temperature environment.
The studio provides the necessary training equipment, as well as professional cleaning and maintenance, plus the bathroom space such as a business hotel, which is very well received.

The reporter visited Den Yoga, the low-key quality space is very clean and comfortable. From the course booking APP, the check-in counter and the cleaning and maintenance staff have provided English support. Many students began to greet and chat in Chinese and English when they entered the door.
The students are mostly young women, and there are also men and elderly people to attend classes, and some even have two classes, which can be said to be an English and gender-friendly sports space.
Entering the far infrared classroom for the first time, although it is warm, it will not be bored or breathless, and the pores feel opened, and the rigid body is more active, so that it can complete the action more in place.
People who experience it for the first time may be a little unaccustomed to the temperature in the first few sessions, but while sweating like rain, it seems that they have also experienced a spiritual detoxification, removing the troubles in life and the stress of work, which makes them feel refreshed.

Dark blue or red lighting allows people to immerse themselves in the corresponding atmosphere, without worrying about imperfections being noticed, and can be more relaxed and focused on exercise.
The elegant fragrance of essential oil in the room not only calms the mind, but also avoids the discomfort of smelling sweat. There are professional cleaning equipment and towels, and you can use them with peace of mind.
In general, just bring your own sports clothing and water cup to experience the course at a higher level.
Den Yoga ’ s five classes are all 1 hour long. If beginners need to re-establish the basics, it is recommended to start with D1 and learn the basic cat, upper dog, lower dog, etc., to start the body to prepare for advanced training. Or you can refer to DD, this is the first half of the yoga class, the second half of the course is based on soothing stretching, it is not too challenging. It is also the most popular course to achieve a balance between exercise and stretching.
The course is divided according to the needs of the students, and fully exercise various abilities and whole body muscles.

Students who already have a foundation can choose D2, integrate a variety of yoga styles, flow with different combinations, and be more flexible and interesting.
If you like to change without fear of fatigue, you can choose DF or DB two comprehensive training courses, both of which combine yoga with dumbbell and elastic belt, and the strength, core, and cardiopulmonary exercise will be exhausted. The difference is that DB focuses on lower body sculpture, focusing on strengthening the lines of the hips and legs.
Betty laughs that some students have been to DF and DB, simply retired from the gym membership, because strength training, core training can be all covered, and some students will also take two classes, while meeting the needs of yoga and compound training.
In addition, the content-oriented curriculum design policy, not teacher-oriented, also ensures that students do not have to follow the progress of a specific teacher, as long as there are classes to connect.
If you want to find a friendly English exercise space, a yoga studio that is textured and clean, or you want to experience hot yoga with music, focus on mobility and comprehensive training, American thermal flow yoga is a good choice.
Den Yoga also organizes outdoor yoga, advanced workshops and related activities from time to time, so that students can have more experience.

However, the woman only did it twice, she felt that her right shoulder was very painful and did not dare to do it again, and after two days of rest, she still did not improve, but became more and more uncomfortable, and the doctor found that it was a posture error that caused sports injuries.

Some common injury sites are as follows:
1. Knee:

This may be due to the fact that when the knee is bent, the patella is not aligned to the second and third toes, resulting in an imbalance in the myofascial lining on the inner and outer sides of the legs.
2. Waist:
In yoga practice, if the lumbar spine is too bent, it will cause the original core muscle strength is insufficient, the lumbar spine is unstable, or the intervertebral disc is inclined to produce low back pain; at this time, it should be avoided to fold the waist, and start, strengthen the contraction of the abdominal transverse muscle.

Content: Unlock the Path to Wellness with These 2024 Fitness Trends

Explore the cutting-edge 2024 fitness trends revolutionizing well-being. From gamified challenges to IoT-powered devices, personalized routines, and holistic approaches, discover a new era of enjoyable and tailored fitness experiences.

In our ever-evolving world, the significance of fitness in individual lives has reached new heights. People are increasingly mindful of the decisions they make, recognizing the direct impact on their health and overall well-being. The realm of fitness has transcended mere home workouts and gym sessions; it has evolved into a fusion of technology, innovation, and knowledge, paving the way for a more vibrant and healthier lifestyle. As we stand on the cusp of 2024, here are the key trends that will dominate the fitness landscape in the coming year.

Gamifying Fitness: A Thrilling Revolution

Undoubtedly, one of the most significant trends poised to sweep the fitness world in 2024 is the gamification of fitness. Innovative fitness startups and apps are embracing gamified challenges that reward participants with points, badges, and even tangible rewards, providing the motivation needed to stay on course with fitness goals. Whether competing solo against friends and family or forming teams to triumph over online opponents, gamification injects an element of excitement into the pursuit of a healthier lifestyle.

Mind-Body Interactivity: Balancing Physical and Mental Well-being

In the evolving fitness narrative, equal emphasis is now placed on mental well-being. Practices such as yoga, mindful breathing, and meditation are seamlessly integrated into fitness regimens, recognizing the holistic nature of well-being.

IoT-Powered Fitness Devices: Precision in Performance

While smartwatches have become commonplace in tracking metrics like heart rate and steps, the dawn of 2024 introduces IoT-enabled smart wear such as socks and sportswear. These cutting-edge devices meticulously track body movement, heart rhythm, and distance traveled, allowing for the customization of fitness routines tailored to individual needs.

Personalized Fitness: A Tailored Approach

The future of fitness lies in personalization, driven by AI-powered apps and precise data analytics. Customized fitness routines, with real-time data and addressing both physical and mental aspects, will become the predominant form of fitness regimen. The rise of 3D body scans aids in identifying specific areas requiring attention, enabling professionals to craft targeted workout sessions based on detailed feedback.

Home Workout and Holistic Fitness: A Comprehensive Outlook

Holistic fitness has taken center stage, with programs now focusing on not just physical strength but also nutritional and mindful development. Since the onset of the pandemic, home workouts have carved out a significant niche, prompting individuals to invest in high-quality equipment. Fitness institutes respond to this shift by offering hybrid class models, providing the flexibility to choose between gym sessions and home workouts.

In the midst of hectic schedules, maintaining consistency with gym workouts can be a challenge. However, these emerging trends offer optimized, individually curated routines that align with both your schedule and body needs, transforming workouts into enjoyable and fulfilling experiences. Embrace the future of fitness in 2024 and unlock the door to holistic well-being.
