How to practice yoga well?

After get off work, many female friends choose to go to a yoga studio to practice yoga with three or five friends. Nowadays, yoga, a sport and leisure activity originated in India, has been accepted by more people. So the question is, for beginners, how can we practice yoga well? What skills should I master when practicing yoga? In fact, it's not just physical fitness that matters, but also your mentality.

The qualities required for a yogi include self-discipline, faith, tenacity and perseverance, that is, the determination to practice yoga regularly and without interruption. Before starting to practice yoga poses, you should empty your bladder and stomach. Some inversions can help with bladder activity. If the practitioner suffers from constipation or is unable to empty the bladder before practicing, then start with Headstand and Shoulderstand and their variations. Try other asanas after emptying your bladder. Do not practice advanced yoga poses without first emptying your bladder.

Yoga poses are best practiced on an empty stomach. If this is difficult to do, drink a cup of coffee, cocoa or milk before practicing. If you have a light meal, you won’t feel any discomfort if you practice yoga poses after an hour. If you have eaten a lot, you should wait at least 4 hours before starting yoga practice. You can eat about half an hour after the practice.

In addition, yoga poses should be practiced in a clean, well-ventilated place with few insects and no noise. Do not practice yoga poses on an empty floor or uneven surface. Instead, practice on a folded blanket on a flat surface. While practicing yoga asanas, only the body should be actively involved while the mind should remain still and alert. If your brain actively intervenes when practicing yoga poses, then you will not be able to discover your mistakes.

Another point is that when doing muscle exercises, the muscles will naturally tense up. This is actually a normal phenomenon. However, when practicing yoga, you should relax as much as possible and not be nervous. You can take a deep breath, exhale slowly, and then do body movements. If you persist for a long time, there will definitely be improvements.
