What kind of people are not suitable for yoga?

Everyone knows that practicing yoga has many benefits to the human body and can help many people shape a good body. However, not everyone can practice this kind of yoga. What kind of people are not suitable for practicing yoga? Because some people need to pay attention to some movements when practicing yoga, and there are some difficult movements that need to be completed. Let me explain it to you below.

As the saying goes, one man's paw may be poison to another. Although yoga is good, it is not suitable for everyone. If you have a poor physical condition or certain diseases that make yoga unsuitable for you, practicing it will not only fail to improve your condition, but will have the opposite effect.

1. People with blood coagulation diseases should avoid practicing yoga. Yoga movements require positioning, stretching and twisting of limbs, which may lead to reduced peripheral blood flow, making it more likely to cause severe blood clotting and trigger cardiovascular disease.

2. People with osteoporosis should be careful when exercising. Some yoga poses require the use of hands, feet and other limbs to support the body weight. If you have osteoporosis, you may accidentally fracture your bones when supporting your body with your elbows because your core muscles are not well trained.

3. People with spondylolisthesis or herniated disc should avoid excessive bending of the waist. Among the most basic yoga movements, Sun Salutation is one of them. Practitioners must bend their waist downward. People with spondylolisthesis may experience vertebral slippage again due to such movement. People with herniated disc may also suffer from more severe nerve compression in the lower limbs due to careless bending.

4. People who are in poor health, have just recovered from a serious illness, or have just recovered from a fracture should not practice yoga. Yoga requires a person to be in good physical condition to achieve the effect of exercising body functions and muscle groups. If the physical condition is not good, the muscles, joints, and ligaments cannot exert their strength, and it is easy to get injured when practicing yoga.

5. Do not do yoga within one hour before or after meals. Yoga movements require bending and twisting of the body, so do not do yoga within 1 hour before or after meals. It is best to reduce the amount of food you eat before doing yoga to avoid increasing the burden on your stomach.

6. It is not advisable to practice yoga when you are emotionally unstable. Yoga is an exercise that requires the coordination of the body, mind and spirit. If you are angry, anxious or nervous, your muscle groups are tense and it is best not to practice yoga to avoid injury. Only when your muscles are soft can you practice yoga more healthily and safely.

7. If you feel sore joints and tendons after a few classes, you may not be suitable for yoga. Some people are born with poor body flexibility, and yoga is a way to train the body's flexibility and extend muscle strength. If you experience joint pain or tendon inflammation every time after practicing yoga, it may be that your body is not flexible enough and is not suitable for yoga movements.

8. Pregnant women should be careful when practicing yoga. Although there is so-called prenatal yoga for pregnant women, it only refers to people who have practiced yoga for a long time. If you have never practiced yoga before, it is recommended to practice it after 12 weeks of pregnancy and the doctor has assessed that the pregnancy is in good condition.

9. People with high intraocular pressure or severe myopia are not recommended to do the head-down handstand. Forward bending or headstand will increase intraocular pressure, so it is not recommended for people who already have high intraocular pressure or severe myopia to practice yoga.

10. Epilepsy and damage to the cerebral cortex. Many yoga movements involve stretching the neck. If you have epilepsy or damage to the cerebral cortex, bending forward and backward to massage the neck may induce an epileptic seizure.

If you want to avoid sports injuries, remember to stop at any time and ask your teacher if you have any questions. If a certain movement is difficult to achieve the standard posture, do not force yourself, as your body may not be ready. Never practice yoga with a comparative mentality, as yoga is a personal deep inner feeling, and everyone's understanding is different.

What kind of people are not suitable for practicing yoga? In fact, practicing yoga also requires a good grasp of the population. Among them, the ten major groups mentioned above should never do it. Therefore, in addition to practicing difficult movements, there are also people with physical illnesses, such as people with epilepsy, and some elderly people. Such people are not allowed to practice yoga.
