Yoga is a union of the “mind, body, and spirit”.
No matter how often you have heard this phrase, it
still rings true. Yoga Beijing brings heightened awareness and
calmness to your mind, relaxation to your body and control of
your breath – thus stimulating your spiritual side.
Frequently asked questions:
- What if I’m not flexible to practice
yoga?
You don’t have to be flexible to practice
Hot Yoga. Hot Yoga Beijinga is a non-competitive practice which will
allow you to become more flexible much faster than you would
practicing in a non-heated environment. Be excited to not be
flexible. The less flexible you are, the more you will feel
the results in your day to day life.
- Do you get more benefits practicing yoga in a
heated room?
The heated environment helps to
raise your heart rate, which in turn means you burn more
calories. The heat also makes it easier to flush toxins from
your body because you are sweating a lot.
The same
benefits can be attained without heat, but the student must
concentrate on a strong Ujjayi breath to get their own heart
rate up and build the same core temperature, such as through
Power Yoga Beijing or Ashtanga Yoga Beijing.
- Why is it important to rest during
savasana
To allow our bodies absorb the benefits
of the asana(poses) practice.
Physically resting in
savasana allows the heart rate to return to normal, promotes
a soothing of the nervous system, allows the oxygenated
blood, we have been working so hard to produce, circulate
completely around the body.
Mentally it gives us a
further opportunity to still our minds and emotionally
savasana allows us to feel and be at peace with whatever has
come up as a result of the practice.
- How will yoga change my
lifestyle?
Yoga Beijing will not change your lifestyle,
only you can change your lifestyle if you choose to. Over
the medium to long term, a regular yoga practice (3 – 5
times a week) will help you manage stress, build inner
confidence, strengthen your body and deepen your spiritual
awareness.
- Why should we do the postures at our own
pace?
You are the only one who knows your body's
limits and abilities. Yoga Beijing The teachers will encourage you to
explore those limits, but students must take responsibility
for their own practice and bodies. If you are new to
exercise, you will need to learn the difference between
stretching muscles and pain. The former is something to work
though, the latter is something you should
avoid.
