Things to note when practicing yoga

Yoga is an elegant sport that can not only help you keep fit but also beautify your body. It can also cultivate the mind and character, and requires the practitioner to have good patience. Many people choose to practice yoga to exercise their bodies, but for many people, they do not understand the precautions of practicing yoga, exceed their stretching range, and do not exercise step by step, which can easily strain muscles and ligaments. It brings some discomfort to the body and also brings a lot of inconvenience to life.

Therefore, it is very necessary to know some precautions when practicing yoga. Although yoga can improve your health, you can’t just practice it blindly. You should have a professional teacher to guide you, and only after you have mastered the method can you practice on your own. During practice, master the intensity control.

1. As a form of fitness, remember to warm up for a few minutes before practicing yoga. During the practice, listen to your deep and gentle breathing to feel every inch of your body, guiding you from one posture to another. If you feel uncomfortable, you should slow down your yoga movements.

2. Yoga movements require careful practice over time and with the accumulation of experience. Once you have a basic understanding of the movements in your mind, try them with your body. It is more challenging if you practice flow yoga or hot yoga. When you stretch or squeeze a muscle without feeling pain, tension, or fatigue, you can boldly let your breath lead your body to do better.

3. Choose an experienced yoga teacher and keep his methods and style in mind. And let your teacher know your physical condition before class. Don't be shy to ask if your body is suitable for practicing yoga. If your teacher cannot provide feedback on your specific physical condition, then it is obviously a hint: he may not be suitable for you.

4. Don’t imitate anyone else. No two people have the same physical condition. Don’t compare yourself with other practitioners, and don’t be frustrated because you can’t do a certain movement. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. Just push yourself to the limits that your body allows.

5. Stick to barefoot practice and wear soft, comfortable clothing made of non-active natural fiber fabrics, which will allow your skin to breathe better.

6. Be familiar with every part of your body, especially your legs and feet, coccyx, ischium, pubic bone, sacrum, ribs and clavicle, shoulder blades, neck and your head.

7. Don’t be afraid to use yoga props. They can help us stretch various parts of the body better and make our fitness process more efficient.

By learning the precautions for practicing yoga, I believe you will no longer think of yoga as a casual fitness exercise. However, yoga is not as difficult as you think. If you understand some techniques and methods of practicing yoga and choose the right time to practice, you will be able to do it with ease. I hope you can have a healthy and beautiful body through yoga practice.
