How do you practice yoga?

Although there are many yoga studios now, many people do not like to go to yoga studios. They prefer to practice yoga at home. Of course, it is good to practice yoga at home, but people also encounter many problems. So how do you practice yoga by yourself? First, you can find some authoritative videos to watch. If you still don’t know how to do it, you can also ask other people for help. Next, let us learn how to practice yoga by ourselves.

Many people are too lazy to go to a yoga studio and just want to study at home with the teaching materials. However, a book or a CD can never replace a teacher, because a teacher can communicate and get feedback, but a book or a CD can never get feedback. Before learning, or after you have studied for a while, reading a book will help you understand more about yoga as a form of exercise and fitness technique. If you have studied for a while and have practiced yoga before, it would be great to practice according to the CD. In addition, if the material is not good, if you do not pay attention to your breathing during practice, if you do not pay attention to the direction of the muscles, and if the method of practice is incorrect, it may cause some injuries.

First, beginners have no basic knowledge and it is difficult for them to do the movements properly by practicing with reference to books and CDs. Even if some people have good conditions and do it in front of a mirror, there are still many places that cannot be seen, such as the back. If some movements are not done properly, long-term practice may cause sprains or strains, and in severe cases, they may suffer from "yoga disease". The second is "laziness". As there is no one to supervise and they practice at home, some people usually feel tired after practicing for a while, so they relax themselves, such as taking a break or simply stopping to rest. Practicing yoga in this way will not achieve any results.

It is best to set aside a fixed time every day to practice yoga. However, it is almost impossible for many people to go to the gym to practice at a fixed time every day due to work. In addition, most gyms have different arrangements for daily classes, which makes it impossible for us to practice yoga every day. In addition, there are some irregular hygiene issues in some clubs. For example, the cleanliness of yoga mats is not as clean as at home, so students who have the conditions are best to practice at home.

When practicing yoga at home, just like practicing yoga at other times, you should be careful not to eat within half an hour before practicing and keep your stomach empty. The following points should be paid special attention to at home:

First, 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 practitioners to enter a state of meditation;

Secondly, we should choose music with a slow rhythm. Music helps our practice. The music chosen by practitioners should preferably have a rhythm between 50-60 beats per minute, because this rhythm is close to our heart rate when practicing yoga.

Third, the environment needs to be ventilated. We need a lot of fresh air when practicing, so it is particularly important to keep the space ventilated. I would like to remind everyone in particular that when practicing yoga at home, never turn on the air conditioner.

In fact, the question of how to practice yoga is not difficult to answer. The key is that we have to pay attention to many issues ourselves. First of all, we must ensure that our body is healthy. Secondly, we must ensure that the place for practicing yoga is spacious enough so that we can perform better. It also has a great effect and benefit on quickly learning yoga movements. This is also what we need to prepare.
