阿斯汤加瑜伽是一种充满活力、强调呼吸与动作同步的瑜伽体系。它不仅能够增强力量、柔韧性和耐力,还能提升专注力、减轻压力,并帮助练习者建立稳定而清晰的心智状态。虽然练习具有一定挑战性,但正因为其深远的身心益处,阿斯汤加瑜伽成为许多瑜伽爱好者长期坚持的练习方式。 本文将带你深入了解: 什么是阿斯汤加瑜伽,以及它如何帮助初学者全面提升身心健康,甚至促进新陈代谢。 什么是阿斯汤加瑜伽? 阿斯汤加瑜伽由 Sri K. Pattabhi Jois 于 20 世纪初发展而成,其理论基础源自约 2000 年前帕坦伽利在《瑜伽经》Yoga Sutra 中提出的“八支瑜伽”(Ashtanga,意为“八个肢体”)。 这八个肢体分为两个层面: 前四支 :关于如何过一种有觉知、有道德的生活 后四支 :关于如何修炼身体、呼吸与心智 阿斯汤加瑜伽的八个肢体包括: Yama(持戒) :生活中的道德原则,如不伤害、不说谎、不偷盗、不纵欲、不贪 Niyama(内修) :个人修养与自律,如清净、知足、精进、自我学习 Asana(体式) :瑜伽姿势练习 Pranayama(调息) :呼吸
