15 things to pay attention to when practicing yoga

1. There are no special regulations on the diet of practitioners. You can fill half of your stomach with food, hold water in one quarter, and keep the remaining quarter empty, that is, don't eat too full to avoid feeling heavy and lazy. Don't eat for an hour before and after practicing yoga, and try to avoid practicing for two hours after a meal.

2. It is not advisable to practice difficult movements six months after surgery and during female physiological periods.

3. People with high blood pressure, asthma and pregnant women only perform simple movements.

4. It is better to wear barefoot and wear it loosely and comfortably so that your body can move freely.

5. It is not advisable to practice on a hard floor or a bed that is too soft. A mat should be laid on the ground during practice.

6. If you feel exhausted or have cramps while maintaining a certain posture, you should immediately withdraw your strength and massage it.

7. Practice in a peaceful and well-ventilated room. The indoor air should be fresh and oxygen can be inhaled freely. You can also practice outdoors, but in a pleasant environment, such as a garden, and do not practice in strong winds, cold or unclean, smoky air. Do not practice close to furniture, stove or any place that interferes with practice to avoid accidents. Especially when doing headstands, do not practice under electric fans.

8. When doing exercises, you can keep your eyes open and closed, and focus on the feelings generated in your body.

9. If possible, eliminate urine and urine to reduce the burden.

10. Do what you can, don't be brave, move slowly, don't use sudden force, and don't deliberately pursue "standards." When you stretch as far as you can bear, you are doing the right thing. Warm up is important. Don't do difficult movements at the beginning to avoid sports injuries. It is best to do some yoga warm-up exercises first, but before starting exercise, walk for 5 minutes or climb the stairs to fully move your body. Step by step to avoid physical shocks. Try to relax while practicing and allow a little soreness in your body, but don't use too much force or force yourself to do the movements.

11. Don't laugh or talk while practicing, breathe attentively. Maintain regular, deep breathing, which helps your body relax.

12. It's best to practice every day and remember to lie down and take a big rest after completing a complete yoga routine.

13. When doing each position, insist on 5 complete breaths to ensure that your breathing in and out lengths are equal. When doing this series of movements, do it with one leg first, then change the other leg, bend and relax, and breathe deeply. If you still want to do it, you can repeat it.

14. To make balance easier, you can find a spot on the floor, about 3 to 4 feet in front of you. Relax your eyes and as you slowly move into position, focus on that point, maintain a balanced position and breathe deeply.

15. Ensure exercise 3 to 4 times a week. Although many movements seem simple, some postures, especially balance movements, are not easy for a beginner, so don't be afraid of these movements and revise your plan in time.
