Can I still practice yoga if I feel pain all over my body?

People will feel that their physical condition is getting better and better after practicing yoga. This is actually a very good way to exercise the body, but not everyone is suitable for this sport. Many people are not suitable for it at all. So you must pay special attention. If you feel pain all over your body after practicing yoga, it is best not to continue practicing. This will not do any good for your body.

Who should not do yoga?

People with high blood pressure and heart disease, people who don’t get enough rest at night and feel dizzy during the day, and women during their menstrual period should not do yoga. Because yoga movements involve a lot of changes in body positions, especially when doing headstands and bow movements, blood can flow backwards, easily causing insufficient blood supply to the heart and brain, ischemia, and leading to shock.

Yoga, which originated in India, is very popular all over the world, but yoga is different from other sports. In terms of clothing, yoga practitioners should wear loose cotton clothes as much as possible, avoid wearing pants with belts, avoid wearing backless clothes (which will catch a cold when meditating and sitting), and go barefoot. Women should not wear bras and remove all accessories such as bracelets, earrings, necklaces, watches, etc.

In terms of diet, do not eat fried foods, try to eat less or no meat, and do not drink coffee. Do not eat 2 hours before practice.

In terms of environment, the most important thing when doing yoga is to learn how to breathe. You should resolutely avoid gyms that are built in basements and do not have good ventilation equipment. You should choose a training room with good air circulation, or you can open the window at home and let the breeze accompany you to complete the exercise.

Important tips before practicing yoga

◆A reminder to yoga practitioners

Yoga is a whole-body glandular exercise. There is no age limit and anyone can learn it. In addition to the office, there are a few points to pay special attention to when practicing in a fitness club or at home:

1. There are no special regulations on the diet of practitioners. You can fill half of your stomach with food, a quarter with water, and keep the remaining quarter empty, that is, don't eat too much to avoid feeling heavy and lazy. Do not eat within one hour before or after practicing yoga, and try to avoid practicing within two hours after a meal.

2. Warming up is important. Don't do difficult movements at the beginning to avoid sports injuries. It is best to do some yoga warm-up exercises first, proceed step by step, and avoid shocking your body.

3. Try to relax when practicing. You can allow your body to feel a little sore, but do not exert too much force or force yourself to do the movements.

4. Do not laugh or talk while practicing, just focus on your breathing. Maintain regular, deep breathing to help your body relax.

5. It is best to practice every day. After completing a complete yoga move, remember to lie down in the corpse pose and rest.

6. It is advisable to practice in a quiet, well-ventilated room. The indoor air should be fresh and oxygen can be breathed in freely. You can also practice outdoors, but the environment should be pleasant, such as a garden, and not in strong winds, cold or unclean, smoky air. Do not practice near furniture, stoves, or in any place that may interfere with your practice to avoid accidents. Especially when doing headstand, do not practice under an electric fan.
