What to prepare for your first yoga practice

Yoga exercises are very popular nowadays, and there are many training classes. The first thing to do when practicing yoga is to choose a good training class. Good teachers and training class environment can help you get started with yoga quickly. You need to plan your yoga exercise schedule based on your own schedule to see if it conflicts with your work schedule. It is best to exercise in the evening or on weekends. You also need to buy some related equipment, but some training courses may provide it for free.

[Selecting a training class] When selecting a training class, you should consider the class atmosphere, location, course time, and practice venue. The fastest way to understand a training class is to take a trial class to judge the teacher’s teaching quality. In order to motivate yourself to practice regularly, it is recommended to choose a training class near your company or residence. In addition to the above two points, it is best to coordinate the time of yoga classes with your own rest time to facilitate practice.

[Preparation] Choose a good training class and prepare for class. Yoga does not require much equipment. In the early stages, you only need to prepare a yoga mat. If the yoga class has mats, you can bring your own yoga towel. Because practicing yoga requires a lot of physical energy, it is recommended to bring a towel to wipe sweat and a water cup when practicing in spring and summer.

[Adjust your diet] Yoga advocates practicing on an empty stomach. Eating too much will affect the practice. Therefore, it is recommended that you eat one hour before class, and the diet should mainly consist of liquid food and fruits.

[Movement Practice] In the initial stage of practice, you may not be familiar with many movements and may not be able to keep up with the teacher's progress. Don't be anxious at this time, just practice along and remember some simple movements. If you want to practice complicated exercises, you can ask the teacher after class and ask the teacher to break down the movements before practicing.

In addition to the above points, you should also pay attention to the fact that you need to exercise and consolidate at home. Otherwise, the effect of just relying on a few exercise sessions a week will not be so good. You need to buy video tutorials to learn, and related books as well. It will be helpful for your exercise if you know more about the following. In addition, it is best for beginners not to choose difficult exercises when exercising, because their ligaments may not be able to withstand it.
