Yoga teachers are human beings, not gods, and they eat whole grains, and they get sick too. It's just that many yoga teachers get sick very rarely, and they rarely catch colds and fevers.
Ms. Ho Hui Fong is one such yoga teacher, she has been practicing and teaching traditional hatha yoga for more than ten years, and she rarely gets sick.
I remember that at the end of 2022, when the new crown virus was raging, her family members were recruited one after another. After taking care of her family, her tense nerves finally relaxed.
I had some symptoms, but they were only mild. After a few days of simple rest, Master Ho recovered and continued her yoga teaching and normal life.
The reason for this, Mr. He replied: ".Everyone has a level of health, and the wisdom of not getting sick is to stay healthy. I am a yoga teacher and have had the privilege of learning about Ayurveda and yoga therapy and how to apply it in my life. At the same time, the practice of yoga brings awareness and sensitivity, the ability to be as it is, to give the body the opportunity to regulate itself at the right time. ”
Similar to Chinese medicine, Ayurveda is a discipline about disease prevention and **. The knowledge of Ayurveda states that there are three types of life energy in the human body, including vata, pita, and kapha, and when these three energies are out of balance, the person may get sick.
In fact, there are 6 stages of disease development, including the accumulation and accumulation phase (when the imbalance of energy can be perceived and effectively intervened), the strengthening and worsening phase (the imbalance continues to intensify), the diffusion (the deterioration of the life energy spreads outward from the original location), the deposition (the seeds of the disease begin to sprout), the manifestation (the signs and symptoms of the disease emerge), and the structural distortion caused by cellular malformations (the complete manifestation of the disease).
When a person is busy and stressed, the vata and pita in the body are bound to rise. Most people are unaware of this at this time, and when this imbalance grows more severe and reaches a certain level, it may manifest itself in the form of disease.
Teacher Ho is different, she has a strong sense of awareness, which is due to her daily yoga practice. In her opinion, she has always been a yoga practitioner.
In the face of stress, she will self-regulate, on the one hand, this adjustment comes from her instinct, that is, the inner wisdom reminds her to stop, otherwise she will get sick, and then she will accept the voice of wisdom. On the other hand, she will take the initiative to make some balance adjustments to avoid the imbalance from becoming more and more serious.
In the season when respiratory viruses are menacing, many people are helpless and have a sense of powerlessness to dodge, but yogis practitioners can calmly face the virus and stay healthy.
At the end of last year, there were many people in Guangzhou who were coughing. One day, Mr. He went to a friend's house as a guest, and when she came out, she would make an elevator, and as soon as she walked into the elevator, she felt that something was not right.
It was a sensation of being in the middle of a virus, she felt the virus passing through her nose, into her body, and then she could feel their presence in her nose and throat.
Teacher He immediately realized that his body was about to be unbalanced, and when he returned home, he immediately took simple emergency measures. In this way, she hopes to prevent bacteria and viruses from entering the deeper layers of the body.
First of all, Mr. He made water nirvana with salt water; After that, she soaked her feet and felt her body heat up slightly, so that when the body's blood circulation was better, it could speed up the metabolism in the body; Then she went to get a good night's sleep.
Sure enough, when he woke up the next morning, he found that his body had returned to normal condition, and the discomfort of the previous day had dissipated.
It seems that as long as we can stay aware of our body, detect problems in time, and deal with them quickly in some simple ways, if we can combine it with some traditional hatha yoga knowledge, it should not be a difficult thing to get sick less.
I hope that in the new year, everyone can pay more attention to their bodies, live in a healthier way, maintain a good mood, and stay away from diseases!
