What should I pay attention to when practicing yoga?

Exercising more is a very good thing for your health. If you exercise regularly, many of your body functions will not decline quickly. There are many kinds of exercise to keep fit. When choosing, you can make a choice based on your actual situation. This will give you a very good exercise effect. So what should you pay attention to when practicing yoga? Let us tell you about it below.

1. Practice on an empty stomach

The best time to practice yoga is on an empty stomach. Before preparing to practice yoga, there should be a 2-3 hour fasting period. Practicing yoga on an empty stomach can prevent the blood and nutrients in the brain and limbs from being affected by the digestive system. At the same time, it ensures the health-preserving effect of yoga training on the body and avoids discomfort in internal organs and other parts caused by twisting and other movements.

2. Do what you can

Yoga requires extremely strong body flexibility, but beginners generally have poor body flexibility, and their endurance and learning abilities also vary. Therefore, yoga training should be conducted according to one's own characteristics. Just do your best with the guidance of a coach. When practicing yoga, do not rush for success, do not overestimate your abilities, do not blindly imitate the coach's movements, and do not easily try difficult movements to avoid frustration and sports injuries.

3. Don’t compare yourself to others

Yoga is a fitness exercise, not a competitive sport. We don’t need to compare ourselves with others, nor do we need to envy how well other students perform their movements. Once you develop a competitive mentality, your emotions will be affected. Yoga requires a calm mindset to practice so that you can focus more on learning and training. We just need to compare ourselves to ourselves, and as time goes by, our proficiency in yoga will increase and our flexibility will become better.

4. Pay attention to physical and mental feelings

Yoga emphasizes the state of balance between body and mind. If you want to feel the effects of yoga on your body and mind, you must listen to your body carefully and concentrate on feeling every breath and every movement. If you experience difficulty breathing, pain, dizziness or other discomfort during practice, please stop practicing immediately and ask your coach for help and guidance.

The question of what you should pay attention to when practicing yoga will have a good answer after reading the above introduction. In this way, as long as we can exercise according to the above instructions, it will not add other bad things to the body, but will only make our body healthier. In addition, if you are a beginner, it is best to exercise under the guidance of a professional teacher.
