Udokotela wami wake wangitshela ukuthi angiphefumuli ngokwanele. Ngokujulile? Ngisekhona, angithi? Ngokusobala, nokho, ukuphefumula kwami ​​okungajulile, okusheshayo kuyisibonakaliso somsebenzi wami wedeski, lapho ngizingela khona ngaphambi kwekhompyutha okungenani amahora ayisishiyagalombili ngosuku. Kuyinto engifanele amakilasi e-yoga wamasonto onke ukuthi angisize ngayo, kepha uma ngikhuluma iqiniso, angicabangi ngokuphefumula kwami-ngisho naphakathi kokugeleza kwe-vinyasa.

Ngenkathi kukhona, kusobala ukuthi, ziningi izitudiyo ezigxila ekuzindleni, abangane bami abanomqondo wokuqina futhi sijwayele ukufuna izitudiyo eziningi zezemidlalo, lezo ezinamakilasi abizwa ngePower Flow noma ngamazinga okushisa aminyene aze afike ku-105 ° F, lapho umjuluko omuhle futhi ukuqeqeshwa okuqinile kuqinisekisiwe. Ukuphefumula kugcina kuwela eceleni kwendlela lapho ngizama ukukhama kuma-pushups phakathi kwama-chaturangas. (Ahem, lezi Zivivinyo Eziyi-10 Zokuhlomisa Izikhali Zakho Ze-Yoga Poses zinhle kakhulu.)

Ngena: i-yoga enosawoti. I-Breathe Easy, i-spa ye-halotherapy, iyindawo yokuqala yokunikeza lo mkhuba eNew York. Igumbi likasawoti elimbozwe ngamasentimitha ayisithupha e-Himalayan rock salt, elinezindonga ezenziwe ngezitini zikasawoti we-rock futhi likhanyiswe ngezibani zekristalu kasawoti-isetshenziselwa kakhulu ukwelapha usawoti owomile; izivakashi zimane zihlale ziphefumule usawoti omsulwa odonswe egumbini nge-halogenerator. Kodwa ngobunye ubusuku ngeviki, igumbi liguqulwa libe isitudiyo se-yoga esinomkhuba wokugeleza kancane ogxile ekuphefumuleni okuholwa umsunguli u-Ellen Patrick.

Uma konke lokhu kuzwakala njenge-gimmick (cabanga ngebhodwe le-yoga ne-snowga), cabanga futhi. Ukwelashwa kasawoti kunomlando omude eYurophu naseMpumalanga Ephakathi, lapho kwakusetshenziswa khona izindawo zokugeza nosawoti ukwenza ngcono amasosha omzimba, ukuthambisa ukungezwani komzimba nomzimba, izimo zesikhumba ezingcono, nokuqeda imikhuhlane enenkani. Lokho kungenxa yokuthi usawoti uyinto yonke engokwemvelo futhi esebenzayo ye-antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, ne-anti-inflammatory. Futhi ngenkathi kungekho ithoni yocwaningo esekela lezi zimangalo, isifundo esisodwa sishicilelwe kufayela le- I-New England Journal of Medicine ithole ukuthi ukuhogela usawoti ongene ngomphefumulo kuthuthukise ukuphefumula kweziguli ezingama-24 ezine-cystic fibrosis. Esinye isifundo kufayela le- I-European Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology bathole ukuthi abantu abane-asthma babika ukuthi baphefumula kalula ngemuva kwamasonto ambalwa belashwa njalo nge-halotherapy. Futhi, njengoba uPatrick esho, ama-ion angalungile anikezwa usawoti (ikakhulukazi ovela kusawoti wase-Himalaya obomvana, futhi ikakhulukazi uma ushisisiwe) alwa nama-ion alungile akhishwa amakhompyutha, ama-TV, nomakhalekhukhwini, avame ukunyakazisa. (Psst: Umakhalekhukhwini Wakho Umosha Isikhathi Sakho Sokuphumula.)

Ukwelashwa kasawoti kungasetshenziselwa ukukhulisa ukusebenza kwezemidlalo ngokunciphisa ukuvuvukala ohlelweni lokuphefumula, kusho uPatrick-kudala ukuvuleka okukhulu kokuphefumula ukuze kudlule futhi kuphefumule umzimba. Kungabuye kubulale noma yimaphi amabhaktheriya noma amagciwane aholela ekuminyaneni nasemafinyaneni omile, uyanezela (futhi uma uke waziphoqa ukuya ejimini ngomkhuhlane, uyazi ukuthi lapho ukwazi ukuphefumula kalula, wenza kangcono). I-yoga enosawoti nayo iyaziqhenya ngalezo zinzuzo, kuhlanganiswe nokuma okusiza ukwakha amandla nokuvumelana nezimo emisipheni yokuqala neyesibili yokuphefumula, ngaleyo ndlela kwande-ngisho. Okuningiamandla okuphefumula, i-oxygenation, ukukhuthazela nokusebenza. (Kungubufakazi obuningi bokuthi ungaphefumula indlela yakho uye emzimbeni ongcono.)

Lapho ngihamba, ngacabanga ukuthi okubi kakhulu, ngingajabulela ikilasi lokuzindla elipholile. Okungcono kakhulu, ngizohamba ngizizwa ngisondele eduze kwe-mermaid. Uma ngikhuluma iqiniso, ngithathe konke ngafaka okusanhlamvu, er, usawoti.

Kepha kunzima hhayi ukuze uzizwe ukhululekile ku-cocoon ye-salt rock namakristalu (isitudiyo esincane silingana nama-yogi ayisithupha kuphela). Ku-yoga enosawoti, i-asana ngayinye igxila ekuvuleni izingxenye ezithile zamaphaphu kanye ne-diaphragm, nokuthi ngabe kungenxa yalezo zimo ezithile noma umoya kasawoti ophonsela ekamelweni (awukwazi ukuhogela, kodwa unganambitha usawoti. ezindebeni zakho ngemva kwemizuzu engu-15 noma ngaphezulu, ngokungafani nalapho ususolwandle amahora ambalwa), ngithole umoya wami uvumelanisa nokunyakaza okuhamba kancane. Kuyavela, ukuhlala edeskini usuku lonke kwenza kube nzima ukuthi i-diaphragm ikhule ngempela, okwenza umoya wakho ufushane futhi usheshe (impendulo yokucindezeleka ekhombisa ubuchopho bakho ukuthi ukhathazekile-noma ngabe awukho). Ukuqina kokukhuliswa komgogodla okufana ne-Mountain Pose ne-Warrior II kusiza ukuvula i-diaphragm emuva, kukhombisa ukuthi uhlelo lwezinzwa lukhululekile. Lapho ngiphefumula umoya onosawoti omningi, umoya wami uyehla kancane. Futhi njengoba ngiqala ukuhambisana nokuphefumula kwami, ngazizwa ngikwazi ukujula ngokujula ngakunye kokuwina-ukunqoba. (Asikho isikhathi se-yoga? Ungazama lezi zindlela ezi-3 zokuphefumula zokubhekana nengcindezi, ukukhathazeka namandla aphansi noma yikuphi.)

Ingabe owayengumelaphi wami angaziqhenya ngokuhogela kwami ​​okuhlakaniphe kakhulu? Angiqiniseki kangako ngalokho-kepha angishiyanga kuphela ukulangazelela okwehlukile kwamafriji aseFrance, kepha ngokwazisa okusha kokuthi ukuphefumula ne-yoga kuhambisana kanjani (noma bengingakwazi # ukugqashula ngokuguquka kwami ​​kwakamuva). Futhi lowo umgomo we-yoga enosawoti: ama-yogis ukuthatha lokho kwazisa ekilasini labo elilandelayo lezemidlalo le-yoga, lapho bengasebenzisa khona umoya wabo ukubethela lezo zibopho ze-pretzel-y, nangaphezulu. Ngeshwa, ngeke ube nakho ukusola izifiso zakho zikasawoti ngemuva ukuthi ngaphandle kwakho.
