What should I pay attention to in self-study yoga?
1, it is best to have an empty stomach before practice.

Keep fasting for 3-4 hours, at least 1-2 hours, and the stomach burden should not be too heavy. 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.

2. Don't eat a lot after exercise 1 hour.

After practice, our stomach is in a state of relaxation and rest, and eating immediately will lead to overload of the stomach. In addition, after exercise, the blood of the body is distributed in the bones and muscles of the whole body. Eating food immediately will make the blood flow to the stomach, thus greatly reducing the blood flow to the heart. Causing a heavier burden on the heart.

3. Yoga should not be done within 30 minutes after bathing or 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 can form a sebum film, which has a good nourishing effect on the skin (this is also one of the reasons why yoga has a beauty and skin care effect). 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. It is not advisable to wear tight clothes when practicing.

Yoga practice is different from general aerobics and physical training. When practicing, you should choose loose, sweat-absorbing and breathable clothes to facilitate physical activities. Because yoga is a kind of exercise to relax our body and mind, too tight clothes are not conducive to relaxation. The clothes you can choose are pure cotton and linen.
