Don't be shy about your body when you start yoga

Yoga is becoming increasingly popular, but for beginners, the yoga studios all over the street are dazzling. An American expert wrote that if you plan to practice yoga, you should first understand 5 things:

1. Mentality is the most important.

Compared with a set of yoga clothes and a professional mat, the most important thing is to have an open and peaceful mind. You should practice without distracting thoughts.

2. You don't have to pursue the ultimate.

You may have seen yogis twist their bodies like noodles, but this is just the best practice. Even if your body is naturally stiff, your body will become flexible through practice. In addition, you should know that yoga is not just about posing, but also about adjusting your breathing and relaxing your mood.

3. Don't be shy about your body.

People who practice yoga in the advertisement are all slim, but no matter what their waist circumference is, they can practice yoga well. In fact, research shows that yoga can help people lose weight and avoid weight gain.

4. Don't be misled.

In order to prevent potential physical harm and be misled, teachers with professional qualifications and rich experience should be selected.

5. Find the right type of yoga for you.

There are many types of yoga, and not every one is suitable for you. Each yoga studio offers a certain free experience class. You can experience it first before making a decision. (Internship Editor: Li Jianhong)
