How to practice yoga at home

As people are under increasing financial pressure in modern society, many friends will become more cautious in spending money. As for those yoga studios opened on the streets, some friends with poor financial conditions cannot go to the studio to practice, so they want to find ways and methods to practice yoga at home. So how do you practice yoga at home? Regarding this issue, please discuss it with me in the next period of time.

1. From the perspective of physical exercise, it is best to practice every day. If you are busy with work, you should practice at least twice a week, each time lasting between 1 to 2 hours, to ensure the effectiveness of the practice. If you practice at home, it should be at least 30 minutes to see obvious results. If you don’t have enough time, you can practice pranayama or meditation for ten minutes.

2. Wear loose, sweat-absorbent, breathable cotton or linen clothing, and the top should fit well so that you can complete some inversion movements. It is best if the pants have drawstrings, not elastic. The pure cotton and lycra clothes which are popular nowadays are also a good choice.

3. You don’t need to wear shoes to practice yoga, you can do it barefoot. On the one hand, going barefoot can relax your legs, enhance the sensitivity of your feet, and massage and squeeze the acupuncture points on the soles of your feet; on the other hand, the friction between the soles of your feet and the ground makes it easier to complete yoga postures, especially balance exercises. Of course, if the weather is colder, you can also practice with socks on.

4. The best time to practice yoga is early in the morning or before breakfast, followed by late afternoon or 3-4 hours after meal. It can also be done at other times, but it must be done on an empty stomach or after complete digestion (food). As for meditation, you can choose to practice it late at night or around 4 a.m. If you don’t have a period of time to concentrate on practicing, you can also divide the practice into several or even more than ten sections. You can practice one or two yoga poses or do breathing and meditation in 5 minutes. This way, a day is equivalent to taking a yoga class.

The above paragraphs introduce us in detail how to practice yoga at home. I sincerely hope that friends who have this need can read the above content carefully, so that they can have their own unique insights and more proficient mastery of this question. Of course, I still hope that everyone will know how to protect themselves when practicing yoga at home, so as to better avoid straining their muscles and joints.
