What should I pay attention to when starting yoga?

Yoga practitioners should first understand the most suitable time, place, physical condition, practice clothing, and other precautions for this exercise.

Time:

In the morning, before breakfast is the best time to exercise yoga. You can also practice in the evening or at other times, but you must keep an empty stomach or practice after you have fully digested it. Generally three to four hours after a meal, drink liquid food or drink can be practiced half an hour later. In fact, more specific practice times stipulate that practice should be done before sunrise in the morning, at noon when the sun is overhead, after sunset in the evening, and at midnight. Practice different content at different times, such as practicing asana more in the morning, practicing ponda more at noon, practicing meditation more at night, etc. Practitioners should choose the most convenient time for themselves, strive to practice at the same time every day, practice yoga, the body to maintain a normal and quiet state, if the body has discomfort or symptoms at this time try not to practice too strong methods, you can not practice at all. Practice yoga as much as possible, and of course never exceed your body's capabilities.

Location:

When practicing yoga, you should choose a quiet, clean, and fresh air place. Try to leave the room and choose a natural place in the open air; pay attention to maintaining air circulation in the room, which is especially important for recuperation exercises. Develop the habit of opening windows frequently to ventilate, and place green plants next to you when practicing yoga. A soft blanket needs to be laid on the ground, and the softness should be controlled so that you can stand easily, and never let your feet slip; you can use a mat when practicing sitting yoga, which can effectively prevent fatigue.

Quiet:

You must remain quiet while practicing yoga. Avoid conversation and mental activities, play light and simple music, and in short, allow the body and mind to concentrate.

Rest:

Yoga rest is not an ordinary rest. Every kind of rest is actually a kind of meditation. Its effect cannot be underestimated. It can relax the body and feel the energy gained. It can also exercise the body, mind and will to feel my existence. There are two types of rest. The first is a short rest, which is mainly the 10 - 30 second rest commonly taken in the asana method, which generally takes up about one-fifth of the practice; the other is a special rest that sometimes lasts for several hours, such as corpse relaxation that yogis often practiced. In addition to achieving the purpose of relaxation, this method also consciously controls the energy and spirit in the body.

Training costumes:

Wear as simple as possible during yoga practice, shorts, slacks or traditional China training pants; women can wear shorts or stretch pants. The upper body should be loose.

Bathing:

Practitioners do not need to take a bath before practicing in the morning. The specific time to take a bath can be decided according to the practitioner's convenience. If you want to take a hot shower after practicing, you should do it after 15 minutes. Bathing can increase the feeling of cleanliness and relaxation in the human body, which is better when performing certain exercises, so many people choose to take a bath before exercising.

Practice method:

In order to achieve success in yoga practice, you must master the right method. Yoga is a complete scientific system, so practitioners are required to practice in accurate methods. If you don't follow the rules, these yoga practices become tasteless machine movements that run counter to their true meaning. Although not everyone can make all yoga postures flawlessly, they can undoubtedly master the essentials of yoga practice without difficulty. I hope that everyone practices yoga according to their personal physical limits and does their best without forcing them. Every step of yoga practice must be carried out with caution and should not be carried out too hastily. Gradually increase the intensity and difficulty during the practice process.

Points for attention for women:

Women should not practice yoga during their period and after four months of pregnancy. In this case, many yoga methods should be stopped and exercise selectively. Yoga practice is extremely effective in treating various gynecological diseases and is also beneficial to improving women's health. For example, menstrual disorders can be cured through yoga practice. Appropriate yoga practice by pregnant women can improve the physical fitness of the fetus and even help with painless delivery.

● 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 one 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. Patients with high blood pressure, asthma and pregnant women only perform simple movements;

4. It is better to wear barefoot and wear loose and comfortable 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 produced 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 the body relax;

12. It is best to practice every day. After completing a complete yoga movement, remember to lie down and take a big rest;

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.

If you don't have special needs, use your nose to breathe throughout the entire process: nose hair can filter dirty air and harmful bacteria, and can also calm nerves and make your body healthier.

Second, do not eat for an hour before and after practicing yoga: keeping an empty stomach and half full is the best state.

Don't do yoga for half an hour before and after taking a bath: Too fast blood circulation, too high blood pressure, and too soft muscles can easily cause injury to the body.

4. Grasping the slow process of postures and the feeling of full body movement is more important than completing the posture.

Fifth, concentrating on a certain part of the body will not only find it easier to learn but also have better results.

6. If you have left and right postures, remember to do the same number of times on both sides. You can't just do it unilaterally.

7. Don't do only one posture from beginning to end at a time: Doing only one posture to treat low back pain will only make low back pain more serious.

8. When the breathing rate is unstable, you can rest in the corpse relaxation style. Forgibly entering another posture will not only fail to achieve the effect, but will also produce counter-effects.

9. Maintain the number of breaths when completing the posture, limited by your physical fitness. Beginners can keep the number of breaths three to five, and slowly increase the number later. 1. Recognize your goals and persevere
