Many people are too lazy to go to a yoga studio. They just want to teach themselves at home with textbooks. However, a book and CD-ROM can never replace a teacher, because teachers can communicate and have feedback. A book and CD-ROM can never have feedback. Reading a little before you learn, or after you have studied for a while, will help you learn more about yoga as a form of exercise, this fitness technique. If you have been studying for a while, have experience in yoga, and then practice according to the CD, this is great. In addition, if the information is not very good, if you don't pay attention to your breathing or the direction of your muscles during practice, and the practice method is incorrect, which may cause some harm.

Q1. Why is it not good for beginners to practice yoga at home?

Because a beginner has no foundation, it is difficult for him to do the movements properly by referring to books and CDs. Even if he has some good conditions and does it in front of the mirror, there are still many places you can't see, such as the back. If some movements are not done properly, long-term practice may cause sprain or strain, and in serious cases, he may also suffer from "yoga disease". The second is "laziness". Since there is no supervision and practicing at home, some people usually feel tired and will relax themselves. For example, taking a break, or simply stopping to rest, practicing yoga will not achieve any results.

Q2. How long will it take to learn yoga to practice at home?

This depends on individual circumstances. Generally speaking, it will take about 2 years for students with good understanding and strong learning ability to basically master the essentials.

Q3. For people with a foundation in yoga, would it be better to practice by themselves at home?

Yoga is best to take out a fixed time to practice every day, many people because of work, it is almost impossible to practice at a fixed time every day, and because most of the clubs have different arrangements for daily classes, these make it impossible for us to practice yoga every day.

In addition, coupled with some irregular hygiene problems in the clubhouse, such as the cleaning of yoga mats, they are not as clean as the ones at home, so it is best for qualified students to practice at home.

Q4. We practice yoga at home. What aspects need to be paid attention to?

Practice yoga at home, like practicing yoga at ordinary times, pay attention to not eating within half an hour before practice, and keep an empty stomach, and at home you need to pay special attention to:

The first is that the environment must be quiet. When practicing at home, it is best to choose a relatively quiet time at home and turn off the TV, because the noisy environment is very unfavorable for the practitioner to enter a meditation state;

The second is to choose music with a soothing rhythm. Music will help our practice. The music chosen by practitioners is best controlled at a rhythm between 50-60 beats per minute, because this rhythm is close to our heart rate when practicing yoga.

Third, the environment should be ventilated. We need a lot of fresh air when practicing, so it is important to keep the space ventilated. In particular, we should remind everyone that when practicing yoga at home, never turn on the air conditioner.

Q5. I really don't have the conditions to go to a yoga venue and want to teach myself yoga at home. How can I choose yoga textbooks?

Good books can lead us to a deeper understanding of the profound principles of yoga and guide us to better learn yoga movements, but books should also be chosen carefully! How should I choose a book? If you are an English book, you can check readers 'book reviews at Amazon Online Bookstore. Chinese books are directly read in bookstores and asked Tonghao about them. Another suggestion is that if you want to buy books, try to buy the "original" ones. It's not that it's good to write by Indians, but try not to choose books by some new sects or authors who create their own movements. To be honest, these people have not yet passed the test of the public. They may be "book authors" or are just famous through marketing packaging, with more gimmicks than content.
