What are the categories of yoga poses?

Nowadays, for white-collar workers, the best and most popular form of exercise and fitness is yoga. Many women now regard yoga as their hobby. However, for most people, many of them only know what categories of yoga there are, but they do not notice that if they want to achieve their own fitness effects through yoga, they also need to choose according to their own physical type. Below we will discuss different yoga poses based on different physical conditions of different people.

Common yoga practice methods for four types of physiques

1. Fire Constitution

The physical characteristics of this type of person are thin body; hot palms and soles of feet; strong heart fire, irritability when hot and dry, prone to insomnia, dry stools, yellow urine; inability to tolerate spring and summer, and a preference for cold drinks.

Yoga health methods:

1. Mental conditioning: People of this type have excessive Yin and Fire in their constitution, are impatient, and are often upset and easily angered. This is because the Fire element disturbs the spiritual roots. They should follow the health-preserving method of "Wisdom Yoga of Inner Mind". Strengthen your self-cultivation and introspection, and develop the habit of being calm and composed. Participate less in compulsory sports and other activities.

2. Diet adjustment: Eat more light food, such as: glutinous rice, sesame, honey, dairy products, tofu, fish, vegetables, etc. People who have the conditions can eat some nourishing foods, such as sea cucumbers, white fungus, cordyceps sinensis, etc., but should eat less spicy and dry foods.

3. Choose yoga exercises: health-preserving exercises in a quiet background; such as: walking meditation, mindfulness meditation, asana exercises of inner strength, etc.; asanas that do not involve excessive exercise, focus on regulating the liver and kidneys.

2. Water-based body

People like this are usually plump, or have pale complexion, cold hands and feet; they have frequent, clear, and long urine, loose stools, are afraid of cold, and like warmth.

Yoga health methods:

1. Mental care: People of this type often show bad moods and fluctuating emotions of happiness and sadness due to insufficient Yang energy. They should be good at regulating their emotions, listening to more music, walking outdoors, etc.

2. Diet adjustment: Eat more aphrodisiac foods, such as beef, mutton, and whole-grain porridge, especially during the three hottest days of summer. Take appropriate amounts of tonic during each period to strengthen the body's yang energy.

3. Choose yoga exercises: People with a water constitution should strengthen physical exercise in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and can take outdoor sports. In terms of yoga practice, they should do more deep breathing exercises, choose a combination of postures for comprehensive body adjustment, and increase momentum appropriately according to their physical endurance.

3. Earthly Constitution

Anyone with a dull complexion, dark lips, dry skin, and dark eye sockets usually has a blood stasis constitution.

Yoga health methods:

1. Choose yoga exercises: do more dynamic exercises that are beneficial to the heart and blood, such as: asanas under the force of Qi and blood promotion; meridian exercises of the body, etc., which can activate all parts of the body and are the best choice to help the circulation of Qi and blood.

2. Diet adjustment: Eat foods that have the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, such as peach kernels, black beans, rapeseed, vinegar, etc., and often cook some hawthorn porridge and peanut porridge. You can also choose some blood-activating and blood-nourishing medicines (Danggui, Danshen, Rehmannia, Sanguisorba officinalis, Acanthopanax cortex) and meat soup to drink.

3. Adjust consciousness: maintain the intention of yoga and guide yourself more; understanding the way of yoga thinking can make yourself balanced as a whole.

4. Wind Constitution

Obesity, loose muscles, a preference for fatty and sweet food, and a heavy body are the obvious characteristics of people with phlegm-dampness constitution.

Yoga health methods:

1. Environmental adjustment: Avoid the invasion of rheumatism and other evil spirits during rainy seasons; it is not suitable to live in a cold and humid environment.

2. Dietary adjustment: You should eat more foods that strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness; foods that can reduce phlegm and dampness, such as white radish, lentils, cabbage, broad beans, onions, seaweed, ginkgo nuts, red beans, etc. Eat less fatty and greasy foods, beverages, and alcohol, and do not overeat at each meal.

3. Choose yoga exercises: People with wind constitution are mostly obese and easily tired due to stress, so they should stick to activities such as walking and jogging for a long time. The amount of yoga exercises should be gradually increased in momentum, with the appropriate background of tension and relaxation, so that the loose skin can gradually turn into firm and dense muscles.

In short, no matter what kind of physique you have, as long as you insist on purposeful health care, you can continuously improve the quality of your life and health. According to your own situation, you can adjust your physical exercise, diet, mentality, etc. through yoga. Only by persevering can you achieve the goal of strengthening your physical fitness, preventing diseases and prolonging your life.
