Yoga can help improve a person's temperament and quality, and is an aerobic exercise that can exercise the body and shape the body.

In fact, there are many things to pay attention to in the process of doing yoga, especially for those who are starting to practice for the first time, they should pay more attention. So what aspects should be done well?

1. Practice on an empty stomach. The best time to practice yoga is on an empty stomach. Before preparing to practice yoga, there should be a 2-3 hour fasting period. Practicing yoga on an empty stomach can prevent the blood and nutrients in the brain and limbs from being affected by the digestive system. At the same time, it ensures the health-preserving effect of yoga training on the body and avoids discomfort in internal organs and other parts caused by twisting and other movements.

2. Do what you can. Yoga requires extremely strong body flexibility, but beginners generally have poor body flexibility, and their endurance and learning abilities also vary. Therefore, yoga training should be conducted according to one's own characteristics. Just do your best with the guidance of a coach. When practicing yoga, do not rush for success, do not overestimate your abilities, do not blindly imitate the coach's movements, and do not easily try difficult movements to avoid frustration and sports injuries.

3. Don’t compare. Yoga is a fitness exercise, not a competitive sport. We don’t need to compare ourselves with others, nor do we need to envy how well other students perform their movements. Once you develop a competitive mentality, your emotions will be affected. Yoga requires a calm mindset to practice so that you can focus more on learning and training. We just need to compare ourselves to ourselves, and as time goes by, our proficiency in yoga will increase and our flexibility will become better.
