What are the precautions for practicing yoga by yourself?

When it comes to yoga movements, there are many taboos that you need to pay attention to during training. If you don’t pay attention, you may injure your limbs or even strain your muscles during training, which will not have a health-preserving effect. And there are many people who don’t feel any changes in their bodies after practicing yoga countless times. This is because they have not mastered the correct yoga methods at all, so it is best to choose a yoga instructor.

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.

And when practicing yoga, try to choose some yoga props to practice. This kind of props is actually very helpful for our body. It can help us practice some difficult yoga moves. For example, it can help us stretch the limbs of our body, so that we can feel more efficient during the training process.
