How to practice yoga at home

As we all know, many people are very busy at work and only have free time on weekends. Many people think it is a waste if they apply for a yoga card just to learn yoga on weekends. In this case, people can practice yoga at home. Then how to practice yoga at home has become a concern of many people. Let us learn about it together.

Due to busy work and tight time, many people who want to practice yoga buy yoga CDs and practice at home by following the instructions on the CDs, thinking that this is both trouble-free and convenient. Fitness coaches remind that there are many limitations to practicing yoga at home by just watching CDs.

First of all, any physical exercise, regardless of the intensity, carries the potential for injury. Even with the guidance of a professional coach it cannot be completely avoided. If beginners try to figure it out on their own, the chances of getting injured will be relatively higher. Secondly, the demonstrator in the CD is not a coach, and his movements may not be suitable for everyone's physical condition. Moreover, the shooting angle of the CD is different from the perspective of the coach's guidance. Without a basic understanding, it is impossible to understand how each movement is completed in a coherent manner. If the coach does not correct him in time, it will cause incorrect movements. In addition, the design and rhythm of the movements recorded on yoga CDs are mostly aimed at practitioners with basic skills. It is difficult for beginners to make the movements smooth and complete.

It is recommended that beginners should first go to the gym to practice under the guidance of a professional coach. The coach will provide targeted guidance based on the flexibility of the body, and then go home to practice after getting started.

If conditions really do not allow, beginners practicing at home should pay attention to the following: Do not practice while watching a CD. You should think about the movements after watching the CD or watch a movement repeatedly before starting to practice. Yoga emphasizes meditation, mental concentration, and paying attention to one's own body sensations. If one watches while doing it and distracts one's attention, it will be difficult to achieve unity of body and mind. At the same time, it is best for beginners to do some relatively simple movements first and not force themselves to do difficult movements. This will not only easily lead to physical injury, but also cause a loss of confidence in the sport, thus deviating from the true meaning of yoga—to keep fit and healthy.

Many yoga poses look simple, but friends who practice yoga at home may be blinded by pictures. Each yoga pose has its own details to pay attention to. How to practice simple yoga poses at home? Here are some simple yoga poses for you.
