Can I drink water while doing yoga?

Yoga has become a very popular form of fitness in recent years. Many women want to relax their body and mind, improve their posture, and lose weight and shape their body through yoga. Yoga lived up to expectations, not only having some good fitness effects but also with few side effects. Regular yoga practice can also help improve physical fitness and immunity, and prevent and treat diseases. Nowadays, yoga has become a trend. So, can we drink water when practicing yoga? Let me give you a detailed introduction below.

Don’t drink a lot of water in the first half hour of practicing yoga. It’s best not to drink a lot of water during the practice (except for hot yoga or when the teacher requires you to drink water. For example, when we were practicing bowel cleansing yoga, the teacher asked us to drink 500cc of light salt water, honey water and boiled water respectively during the practice). Don’t drink a lot of water in the half hour after practicing yoga (the principle is the same as not drinking a lot of water after a lot of exercise)

Although your mouth will feel dry after practicing for a long time, moistening your throat will not have much impact, but don't drink water in large gulps quickly. After practicing yoga, all the systems of the body are opened up, and many people will feel hungry, especially those who need to lose weight. At this time, they cannot eat immediately, as this will increase the burden on the body and cause the weight to increase instead of decrease. If the body temperature does not drop, the pores will open and be stimulated by water. The toxins discharged will clog the pores, which is not good for your health. In addition, if you are a thin person, you can eat after practicing to help you gain weight.

In addition, please note the following:

time:

Early in the morning, before breakfast, is the best time to do yoga. You can also practice in the evening or at other times, but make sure you practice on an empty stomach or after completely digesting the food. Generally, it is three to four hours after a meal, and you can practice half an hour after drinking liquid food or beverages.

Place:

When practicing yoga, you should choose a quiet, clean place with fresh air. Pay attention to maintaining air circulation in the room, which is especially important for breathing exercises. Develop the habit of opening windows frequently for ventilation. You can place green plants next to you when practicing yoga. The floor needs to be covered with a soft blanket, which should be soft enough to allow you to stand comfortably. Be sure not to let your feet slip, or use a professional yoga mat.

Quiet:

Yoga must be practiced in silence. Avoid talking and mental activities. You can play simple and relaxing music. In short, you should concentrate your body and mind.

clothing:

Loose clothing made of cotton or linen ensures that the body is in a completely relaxed and natural state.

The above is the little knowledge I introduced to you about whether you can drink water while doing yoga. You should pay more attention to prevent physical discomfort after extensive exercise. In addition, regular yoga practice can relieve many pains, such as spinal pain, back pain, leg pain, etc. During the practice, just push your body to its limits. Don't fight against your body. Choose the difficulty of the movements based on your physical condition.
