What to pay attention to when practicing yoga

The pace of society is getting faster and faster. Many people are beginning to feel bored and distressed when facing such heavy work and trivial life. The pressure is so great that it makes people breathless. So many people began to choose to practice yoga, but everyone should know that yoga is all about breathing. When you calm down and breathe along with your limbs, you will feel that your breath and body are in close contact, and your whole body and mind will begin to relax. So what should we pay attention to when practicing yoga?

1. Practice on an empty stomach. The best time to practice yoga is on an empty stomach. Before preparing to practice yoga, there should be a 2-3 hour fasting period. Practicing yoga on an empty stomach can prevent the blood and nutrients in the brain and limbs from being affected by the digestive system. At the same time, it ensures the health-preserving effect of yoga training on the body and avoids discomfort in internal organs and other parts caused by twisting and other movements.

2. Do what you can. Yoga requires extremely strong body flexibility, but beginners generally have poor body flexibility, and their endurance and learning abilities also vary. Therefore, yoga training should be conducted according to one's own characteristics. Just do your best with the guidance of a coach. When practicing yoga, do not rush for success, do not overestimate your abilities, do not blindly imitate the coach's movements, and do not easily try difficult movements to avoid frustration and sports injuries.

3. Don’t compare. Yoga is a fitness exercise, not a competitive sport. We don’t need to compare ourselves with others, nor do we need to envy how well other students perform their movements. Once you develop a competitive mentality, your emotions will be affected. Yoga requires a calm mindset to practice so that you can focus more on learning and training. We just need to compare ourselves to ourselves, and as time goes by, our proficiency in yoga will increase and our flexibility will become better.

4. Pay attention to physical and mental feelings. Yoga emphasizes the state of balance between body and mind. If you want to feel the effects of yoga on your body and mind, you must listen to your body carefully and concentrate on feeling every breath and every movement. If you experience difficulty breathing, pain, dizziness or other discomfort during practice, please stop practicing immediately and ask your coach for help and guidance.

We believe that the above introduction to some precautions for practicing yoga will help more friends. Only by practicing yoga regularly can our bodies become better, our physical fitness will be enhanced, the occurrence of diseases will be reduced, and we will also gain more strength and balance.
