Points of yoga practice

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.
