Ukwelula kuzwakala kumangalisa, futhi kuyizaba ezinhle zokuthenga izinto eziningi eLululemon. Kepha ama-yogis azinikele ayazi ukuthi kuningi kakhulu ku-yoga kunezinzuzo zemfashini nezimo eziguqukayo. Ucwaningo olusha lukhombisa ukuthi umkhuba wasendulo uvusa ushintsho olujulile, cishe oluyisisekelo ekusebenzeni kobuchopho bakho. Futhi izinzuzo zalezo zinguquko zingathuthukisa isimo sakho sengqondo futhi ziqede ukukhathazeka ngezindlela eziphawulekayo.

Izakhi zofuzo ezijabulisayo, Ubuchopho obujabulisayo

Ufunda okuningi mayelana nengcindezi kanye nezingozi zayo zezempilo ((ukuvuvukala, izifo, ukulala kabi nokuningi). Kodwa umzimba wakho unendlela eyakhelwe ngaphakathi yokulwa nokucindezeleka. Ibizwa ngokuthi "impendulo yokuphumula," futhi i-yoga iyindlela enhle yokuyishisa, ibonisa ucwaningo oluvela e-Harvard Medical School kanye ne-Massachusetts General Hospital. Kuwo womabili ama-novice (amasonto ayisishiyagalombili wokuzijwayeza) kanye ne-yogis yesikhathi eside (iminyaka yesipiliyoni), imizuzu eyi-15 kuphela yezindlela zokuphumula ezinjenge-yoga yayanele ukubangela ushintsho lwe-biochemical ebuchosheni nakumaseli wezinja eziphansi. Ngokuqondile, umsebenzi othuthukisiwe we-yoga phakathi kwalezo zofuzo ezilawula imetabolism yamandla, ukusebenza kweseli, amazinga kashukela egazi, kanye nokugcinwa kwe-telomere. Ama-Telomeres, uma ungajwayelene nawo, angama-caps emaphethelweni ama-chromosomes akho avikela okubalulekile kofuzo ngaphakathi. (Ukuqhathanisa okusetshenziswa kaningi: Ama-Telomere afana nezeluleko zepulasitiki ezivimbela izintambo zezicathulo zakho ekubhidlizeni.) Ucwaningo oluningi luxhumanise ama-telomere amade anempilo namazinga aphansi ezifo nokufa. Ngakho-ke ngokuvikela ama-telomeres akho, i-yoga ingasiza umzimba wakho ukuthi uvikele ukugula nezifo, isifundo seHarvard-Mass General siphakamisa.

Ngasikhathi sinye, leyo mizuzu engu-15 yokuzijwayeza i-yoga nayo ishintshile icishiwe ezinye izakhi zofuzo ezihlobene nokuvuvukala nezinye izimpendulo zokucindezeleka, abalobi bocwaningo bathola. (Baxhumanise izinzuzo ezifanayo nemikhuba ehlobene njengokuzindla, i-Tai Chi, nokuzivocavoca okugxile ekuphefumuleni.) Lezi zinzuzo zisiza ukuchaza ukuthi kungani isifundo esikhulu sokubuyekeza esivela eJalimane sixhumanise i-yoga namazinga aphansi okukhathazeka, ukukhathala nokudangala.

Inzuzo enkulu ye-GABA

Ingqondo yakho igcwele "ama-receptors" aphendula kumakhemikhali abizwa ngama-neurotransmitters. Futhi ucwaningo luxhumanise uhlobo olulodwa, olubizwa nge-GABA receptors, nokuphazamiseka kwemizwa nokukhathazeka. (Babizwa ngokuthi ama-GABA receptors ngoba aphendula i-gamma-aminobutyric acid, noma i-GABA.) Isimo sakho sengqondo simuncu futhi uzizwa ukhathazeka kakhulu lapho umsebenzi we-GABA wobuchopho bakho wehla. Kodwa i-yoga ibonakala inyusa amazinga akho e-GABA, ngokocwaningo oluvela e-Boston University kanye ne-University of Utah. Eqinisweni, phakathi kwe-yogis enolwazi, umsebenzi we-GABA weqa amaphesenti angama-27 ngemuva kweseshini ye-yoga yehora, abacwaningi bathola. Ilangazelela ukwazi ukuthi ngabe ukuzivocavoca umzimba kwakungasile yini emuva kokuzuzwa kwe-GABA, ithimba lokutadisha laqhathanisa i-yoga nokuhamba endlini ku-treadmill. Bathole ukuthuthuka okukhulu kakhulu kwe-GABA phakathi kwabasebenza nge-yoga. I-yogis iphinde yabika imizwa ekhanyayo nokukhathazeka okuncane kunabahamba ngezinyawo, ucwaningo lubonisa.

Ngabe i-yoga ikufeza kanjani lokhu? Kuyinkimbinkimbi, kepha iqembu lokufunda lithi i-yoga ivuselela uhlelo lwakho lwezinzwa lwe-parasympathetic, olubhekele imisebenzi "yokuphumula nokugaya" okuphambene nezimpendulo zokulwa noma zokulwa nezindiza ezilawulwa yizinzwa zakho ezizwelayo. Ngamafuphi, i-yoga ibonakala iqondisa ubuchopho bakho esimweni sokuphepha nokuvikeleka, ucwaningo lubonisa.Iningi locwaningo lwe-yoga ligxila ezinhlotsheni ezibeka imali ekhokhelwa ngamasu, ukuphefumula, nokuvimba iziphazamiso (njengezitayela ze-Iyengar neKundalini). Lokho akusho ukuthi i-Bikram ne-yoga yamandla aziyilungele noodle yakho. Kodwa izici zokuzindla, ezivimbelayo ze-yoga zibonakala zibalulekile ezinzuzweni zobuchopho bomsebenzi, ucwaningo lubonisa.

Ngakho thatha uhlaka lwakho nebhulukwe lakho olithandayo, bese ubeka ingqondo yakho ngokukhululeka.
