Who is not suitable for practicing yoga?

Many people don't know whether they are suitable for yoga or not. Some people think that everyone can do yoga, but this idea is wrong, because there are many people in the world who are not suitable for yoga. Many people who are not suitable for yoga will cause a lot of discomfort to their bodies if they do it. Yoga is a way of exercise that can improve health and lose weight, so who is not suitable for practicing yoga?

First, middle-aged and elderly people. After entering middle age, ligaments and joints degenerate, and muscles become stiffer. Without strong muscle protection and support, forcing oneself to practice difficult yoga moves is undoubtedly a huge "challenge" for the already fragile cervical vertebrae and spine, and can easily lead to muscle strain and vertebral dislocation. Unless you have been practicing yoga since childhood and have good body flexibility.

Second, patients who already have osteoporosis. Especially women with severe osteoporosis. Due to the decrease in bone hardness and increase in brittleness, if you are not careful when practicing yoga, you may suffer from compression fractures or vertebral ruptures.

Third, patients with cervical and lumbar spine diseases. If you practice certain yoga movements, such as the plow pose, it can easily cause a herniated disc or make the original condition worse.

Fourth, patients with cardiovascular disease or obesity. If the movements are strenuous, such as doing a handstand, it is likely to increase the burden on the heart and cause discomfort.

Yoga is a very good exercise to relax the body and mind. For the spine, moderate yoga practice can relax and stretch the muscles, enhance the toughness of muscle ligaments, and thus stabilize the spinal joints. In this sense, yoga has a certain spinal protective effect.

These people are not suitable for yoga exercises. If you are one of these people, then don't practice yoga. Although yoga has many benefits, if you practice yoga blindly, you will definitely not get good results. If you want better results when doing yoga, then every yoga movement and every essential must be mastered.
