What are the precautions for practicing yoga?

It can be said that girls in society now like to keep their figure and pay attention to their appearance. They often practice yoga because yoga is a very gentle sport. Regular practice can make people feel particularly calm, enhance the flexibility of the body and improve temperament. It is said that yoga not only has the effect of losing weight, but also can effectively help maintain the figure. So what are the precautions for beginners to practice yoga?

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. It is not advisable to practice difficult movements six months after surgery and during women's menstrual period;

3. Patients with hypertension, asthma and pregnant women should only perform simple movements;

4. It is better to go barefoot and wear loose and comfortable clothes so that the body can move freely;

5. It is not advisable to practice on a hard floor or a too soft bed. You should lay a mat on the ground when practicing;

6. If you feel exhausted or have cramps while maintaining a certain posture, you should stop the exercise immediately and massage;

7. It is best 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 any place that may hinder the practice to avoid accidents, especially when doing headstand, do not practice under an electric fan; 8. When practicing, you can open or close your eyes, and focus on the feeling in your body;

9. If possible, eliminate urination and defecation to reduce the burden;

10. Do what you are able to do, don’t try to force yourself, move slowly, don’t use force suddenly, and don’t deliberately pursue “standards”. When you stretch as far as you can, you're doing it right. 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. Before starting exercise, you can walk for 5 minutes or climb stairs to fully exercise your whole body. Take it step by step to avoid shocking your body. Try to relax as much as possible during the exercise, and allow a little soreness in the body, but do not overexert yourself or force the movements;

If you are a novice or have just started practicing yoga, you must pay attention to these to avoid any harm to your body. Practicing yoga is not something that can be mastered in a moment. You must do it according to your ability and stop when you feel physically exhausted. Also, when you first start practicing, you may feel a little uncomfortable and experience soreness in your calves, but it will be fine as long as you persist for a few days.
