How to increase the intensity of yoga?
Time to practice yoga: Generally speaking, people practice yoga postures in the morning, at noon, at dusk or before going to bed. In fact, you can practice yoga at any time of the day as long as you keep an empty stomach. In other words, it is not appropriate to practice yoga posture after meals (within 3 hours). In the eyes of real yogis, 4-6 am is the best time to practice yoga, because at this time, everything around is quiet, the atmosphere is purest, gastrointestinal activities are basically stopped, the brain is inactive, and it is easy to enter the deep practice state of yoga. Location: It is best to practice yoga in a clean and comfortable room, with enough room for stretching and avoiding any furniture. The indoor air is fresh and circulating, and oxygen can be inhaled freely. It is best to put green plants or flowers, or play soft music to help relax your nerves. Of course, you can also choose to practice in the open air, such as gardens and other places with good environment Never practice in strong wind, cold or polluted air, or in direct sunlight (except at dawn, when the light is soft and healthy). Clothing: Wear loose and soft clothes when practicing yoga posture, especially clothes made of cotton and linen, and make sure that ventilation and body are not restricted when practicing. You must take off your shoes, socks (keep your feet warm in cold weather), watches, glasses, belts and other accessories. Props: Of course, it is best to use professional yoga mats when practicing yoga. When the ground is too hard or uneven, the yoga mat can play a buffering role and help you keep balance. However, if you don't have a professional yoga mat, you can lay a carpet or fold a blanket. Don't practice on the hard floor or soft bed, and be careful not to slip. Beginners can also practice some postures with some props, such as yoga bricks, yoga ropes, and even walls, tables and chairs. Many postures can use corresponding props to help you practice step by step, and at the same time more accurately grasp the feeling that each posture conveys to your body. Bathing: Don't practice yoga within 20 minutes before bathing, because practicing yoga will make your body feel extremely sharp. At this time, if hot and cold stimulation is given, it will harm the body and consume the energy stored in the body. Yoga should not be practiced within 20 minutes after bathing, because blood circulation is accelerated and muscles become soft after bathing. If you practice yoga immediately, it will not only hurt your health, but also lead to an increase in blood pressure and an increase in the burden on your heart. Patients with heart disease, hypertension, hyperthyroidism and other diseases should pay special attention to this. Besides, don't practice yoga posture after taking a bath in Sun Long. Taking a cold bath about 1 hour before practicing yoga can make your practice achieve better results. Diet: As mentioned above, yoga posture should not be practiced within 3 hours after meals. But you can eat a small amount of liquid food or drinks, such as milk, yogurt, honey, juice and so on. Before practice 1 hour or so. You can drink a little water when practicing to help expel toxins from your body (even drink more water when doing duck walking exercises). It is best to eat after yoga practice 1 hour. It is best to eat some natural foods and avoid some greasy, spicy or hyperacidity foods. Eating enough is enough. Eating too much can make people feel bored and lazy. In addition, after practicing yoga, it is normal to eat less, exhaust more and defecate more.
