The interest of the Aragonese in a practice that works on physical health, emotions and mental calm is growing.
United Nations advised this Monday your practice to improve physical and mental well-being in the current global context on the occasion of International Yoga Day. "Fortunately, during the pandemic many people have joined this practice to maintain physical health and fight social isolation and depression," the organization noted. Additionally, yoga is playing an "important role" in psychosocial care and rehabilitation of patients de coronavirus in quarantine and isolation, as it helps them alleviate the fears and apprehensions generated by the disease.
For its part, Pili Lázaro, from the Sanatana Dharma Aragón Yoga Association, talks about interest and even "need". However, in their association they have 30%-40% less physical attendance. "Some people are reluctant to come. You need to let's go a little bit out of this precaution that we have and gain more confidence," he points out, while reiterating that one of the purposes of yoga is the well-being of people. "It is directed in a triple direction: physical body, emotions and mental. And it also serves to lower stress and anxiety rates through breathing."
During the pandemic, these centers work with reduced capacity and adopting all security measures to avoid contagion. Furthermore, in the hard months of confinement they taught online classes. For example, the director of the Zaragoza Yoga School comments that she made a platform of recorded videos for the students. "Passing through the room is training for your daily life: to manage emotions and thoughts in a different way," says Lydia Galdámez.
Recommendations
Yoga experts establish a series of basic tips for the well-being of the individual. Are these:
- Breathing. Connect with her and try to calm her down little by little. "You have to breathe widely, calmly, calmly and consciously," explains Pili Lázaro.
- Her first book of poems, Cuerpo,. Through yoga asanas or postures a dialogue is established with him. "At home you can do some simple postures (stretching and twisting) to mobilize the body; this also promotes circulation and contributes to a better feeling of well-being and health. And a slightly more dynamic exercise is the sun salutation, which is more complete," says the teacher of the Sanatana Dharma Aragón Yoga Association.
- Mental relaxation or calm of thought. It begins with a moment of breathing to continue with a session of asanas and ends by lying face up on the floor in the savasana posture. "You have to stay there for a few minutes relaxed, with pleasant music, disconnecting from everything and letting the body recover and loosen all the loosening muscles."
Along with these three aspects, the president of the Agua Mujeres Association also points to a adequate food ("varied, balanced and frugal; eating 5 meals a day"), a restful rest, positive thoughts ("developing empathy with others with self-compassion and the practice of loving kindness") and reading "sacred" texts.
