The burden on the stomach should not be too heavy, so it is best to keep an empty stomach for 3-4 hours before practicing yoga, at least 1-2 hours. It is best to empty your body before practice, so that you can clean your body and concentrate on completing yoga practice.
Yoga posture is centered on the human spine, stretching and squeezing from front to back. Excessive stomach burden will make practitioners feel nausea, headache, chest tightness and even vomiting in severe cases.
In the process of food digestion, the blood needed by the stomach can only be deprived from the circulating blood filled with oxygen, and in severe cases, symptoms such as hypoxia, dizziness, nausea and tachycardia may occur.
2, clothes should be loose to absorb sweat
When practicing yoga, you should choose loose, sweat-absorbent and breathable clothes to facilitate physical activities. Because yoga is a kind of relaxing exercise, too tight clothes are not conducive to relaxation, so it is best to choose pure cotton and hemp as clothing. It is best to have loose pants and a waist for the lower body. The coat can be close to the body so that it can be turned over. Avoid wearing accessories such as belts, watches, necklaces and earrings. These ornaments not only affect the movement, but also easily hurt the body when practicing. Practice should be carried out barefoot. This can relax your feet, make your feet have better adhesion, feel direct, have a stable posture, and rub your feet.
3. Don't do it before and after bathing.
Yoga should not be done within 30 minutes after bathing in sauna. Bathing accelerates blood circulation, and yoga practice also promotes full blood circulation, which will inevitably accelerate the heart rate and increase the burden on the heart. Yoga practitioners in India usually take a cold bath before practice in order to clean their bodies. The speed of blood circulation in the body slows down, so it will not increase the burden on the heart.
4. Don't take a bath immediately after practice.
Sebum and sweat will form a sebum film, which can nourish the skin well. Taking a bath at once will destroy this beneficial substance. Therefore, it is recommended not to take a shower immediately. But for high-temperature yoga, strength yoga or body yoga training, the situation is different. These kinds of yoga will make practitioners sweat a lot, and the toxins discharged by sweat need to be discharged through bathing, and sweat stains make people feel uncomfortable. Even so, remember that you can't take a bath until your breathing and heartbeat return to normal after practice.
5. Positions should be limited.
When practicing posture, the action should be slow, and the effect will be better with correct breathing. Breathing is usually done through the nostrils unless there is a special posture. Breathing generally adopts natural breathing, and some movements will use abdominal breathing to relieve the pressure on the chest. Most of the primary posture exercises are stretching exercises without holding your breath. Take a deep breath and breathe slowly, and the breath should be carried out in coordination with the movements, especially when keeping the movements.
Posture exercises should be based on your own maximum, not necessarily the same as what the teacher does. Exercise should be gradual, don't rush for success, and it is safest and most effective to reach your limit.
6. The venue is neither too hard nor too soft.
It's best to use a professional yoga mat, or spread a blanket or a big towel on the floor, so it doesn't hurt to kneel. It is not safe to practice yoga with aerobic mats in the gym. Too thick will lead to the failure to get proper support when completing some actions, and in severe cases, it will hurt the bones. On the contrary, if the cushion is too hard and not protected, it will lead to inflammation of the stressed parts, and in severe cases, it will damage the normal functions of joints and bones.
