What should you pay attention to when practicing yoga

Many people think that yoga is only for women, but it is not true. Women can practice yoga, and of course men can practice it as well. Practicing yoga can not only relax our body and mind, but also form good living habits. In addition, practicing yoga can not only help improve a person's temperament, but also help lose weight. So let's now find out what we should pay attention to when practicing yoga.

When practicing yoga, you can prepare towels, mats and other auxiliary tools for practice (see the previous issue of Learning Yoga from Scratch: Yoga Supplies for details). Beginners should make special preparations. Incense, essential oils, soft lighting, and gentle music can all help you practice smoothly in a peaceful atmosphere. At the same time, when practicing, you should prepare a set of yoga clothes with good stretchability, so that you can practice freely, comfortably and happily.

Site preparation. When practicing yoga, you should choose a quiet, clean place with fresh air. Try to leave the room and choose an open-air natural place. When practicing in the room, you should pay attention to maintaining air circulation, which is especially important for breathing exercises. Develop the habit of opening windows frequently for ventilation. You can place green plants next to you when practicing yoga. The floor needs to be covered with a soft blanket, which should be soft enough to allow you to stand comfortably, but your feet must not slip.

Time arrangement. There is no specific time requirement for yoga practice. The most suitable time is the one that suits your life and work routine. If you work during the day and don’t have the habit of getting up early, then evening is of course the best time for you. If you are an early riser, then morning is best for you. It is best to arrange your practice time according to your personal circumstances. If you don’t have to work, you can schedule practice time at any time.

Be prepared. When practicing yoga, your body should be relaxed and your mood should be happy. At the same time, it is natural for beginners to do poorly at the beginning. They must have self-confidence and determination, open their locked brows, stop frowning, smile happily, and practice yoga in the most relaxed and joyful mood.

Before doing yoga, you must remember that it is best to be on an empty stomach. If you feel a little hungry, you can eat some fruit or drink a glass of milk when you get up in the morning. For those practitioners with low blood sugar, it is necessary to consume some sugar before practicing. It is best to wait half an hour after practice before eating.
