What preparations should you make before practicing yoga?

Nowadays, people's pace of life is getting faster and faster, and people's nutritional intake is often not so balanced. Irregular diet is also one of the causes of obesity. Well, many obese people know that yoga is a very good weight loss exercise. Yoga can not only help us lose weight, but also improve our temperament to a certain extent. So what preparations do you need to make before practicing yoga? Let me show you about it today!

For many people, finding time to do yoga at home is a hurdle. A better approach is to sit down right now, check your calendar, and see where you can do yoga 6 days a week, for an hour a day. When planning these, you may need to wake up a little earlier than usual, ask your partner to take care of the children during designated times, or delegate these work and home chores to someone else. Once you've decided when to start doing yoga, think about making this a regular part of your life.

First: Equipment: a ventilated, warm, and spacious room, soft and loose yoga clothes, a yoga mat of appropriate size and thickness (should be bought in a regular store and must not have any odor), and a professional teaching tape.

Second: first learn the precautions for practicing yoga (find a professional or watch a teaching tape). For example: you should practice yoga three hours after a meal, and you can eat one hour after the practice; practice the movements according to your own conditions, and do it within your own limits. Don't be influenced by others or coaches, and don't compare yourself with others; women should not do headstands during their menstrual period; master the correct breathing method, inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth, breathe normally during the movements, and don't hold your breath; and other similar principles.

Third: Yoga is a physical and mental exercise that needs to be experienced slowly. Breathing and meditation are its important parts. You must not practice yoga as flexibility gymnastics. Therefore, while learning the movements, you must coordinate with the breathing techniques. Both are indispensable.

Finally, practice yoga with a natural attitude and don't force it. For example, when the coach asks you to think about nothing during breathing meditation, don't force it if you can't do it. You will naturally gain experience after practicing for a period of time.

Through the above introduction, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of the preparations that need to be done before practicing yoga. Many people like to start yoga in the morning when they are fasting, because this can better consume stored fat.
