　　This is the latest yoga class at the moment. The yoga teacher said that yoga originated in India more than 5,000 years ago. It has always been practiced by men, and it was passed down from generation to generation by masters and apprentices. Later, more and more women began to practice yoga. Female practitioners often ask the master (usually male )Some questions, such as: “Can I practice yoga during menstruation? ”The master had no way to answer these questions, because all yoga movements were arranged based on male body characteristics and physiological structure. The master could only say vaguely: "You cannot practice some inverted postures, but you can practice some simple ones. ”

　　Power Yoga: Work on your muscles and endurance

　　Power yoga is currently the most popular yoga system in the United States, and it is also a new course that was introduced to China in the past two years. Many people think that power yoga and dynamic yoga are the same thing, but in fact they are completely different. Dynamic yoga is practiced in the process of moving, while power yoga is practiced in stillness, using more of a "yin power". For example, a seemingly simple squatting movement actually consumes a lot of physical strength, so it also has a significant effect on strengthening muscles. Power yoga emphasizes the combination of strength and flexibility and requires deep breathing exercises.

Some yoga practitioners have learned Awakening Yoga before. In fact, Awakening Yoga is a series of Tenili Yoga. “"Quentrini" means a female snake. There is such a snake in everyone's body. It represents energy, but usually we don't activate it, so it sleeps in our body. When we activate it through yoga meditation and breathing, its energy bursts out. Therefore, Kunterini Yoga is a kind of meditation yoga, and it is also a rather advanced state in yoga practice. Only those who have practiced yoga for several years can practice Kunterini Yoga. Therefore, currently, there are not many courses offering this course in Guangzhou, and most of the practitioners are yoga instructors or professional yoga practitioners.

It makes the originally static yoga practice "move" and complete the yoga practice in the process of "moving". Therefore, those fitness practitioners who originally thought that yoga practice was boring, fell in love with this new "moving" yoga course. Because dynamic yoga emphasizes integrating dynamic yoga training into exercise, its main effect is to strengthen and lengthen the muscles of the practitioner, while allowing better control of the body and breathing and strengthening core strength.
