Preparation time when practicing yoga: Generally speaking, people practice yoga postures in the morning, at noon, at dusk or before going to bed. In fact, as long as you are on an empty stomach, you can practice at any time of the day. 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. Note: ★ 1. I want to breathe.

Are you breathing? Breathing is everyone's innate magic weapon, but we only breathe 30% at ordinary times, and the rest are not fully utilized or even ignored! In fact, as long as you go back to the simple exploration of infancy, you will be surprised that the original yoga breathing method is so simple and simple. Here I want to shout loudly: Breathe! Take a deep breath, then take a few deep breaths-do you feel relaxed now? Let's cooperate with yoga practice, find the remaining 70% potential, and find our own simplicity and energy!

I want to warm up.

Do you often feel numb and unable to move when you keep a fixed posture for a few minutes before exercise? Be careful, be careful, your blood circulation is so slow that you protest with numbness! Now you sit on Mount Tai, be careful that you will soon become a fossil-you know that fossils will break, break, crack and hurt when they fall! So if you are a completely inactive person, get up and exercise your stiff body. But remember, you must warm up first to avoid hurting your body like a fossil! It is necessary to "warm up" before doing exercise, especially before entering yoga practice. Whether you are a completely motionless fossil or an active person who often exercises, "warm-up" is a very important and necessary concept of sports safety before doing any exercise to avoid unnecessary sports injuries.

I want to relax.

We often see some graceful dancers, who exude a soft, flexible and elegant body language as soon as they dance, attracting us to keep our eyes away for a long time. That gentle gesture is really enviable. If it is replaced by a picture of hands and feet, the whole body is stiff and jumps up and down like a stake, it is really unbearable! Therefore, the key to femininity is to learn to relax first, and to become a yoga beauty, of course, there must be a magic weapon to relax!

4. I want to feel

In fact, practicing yoga is very simple and easy. There is only one trick, that is, just "follow your feelings" when practicing! Please join me in saying loudly: "I want to feel!" " "That's because' feeling' is a very simple but easily overlooked thing. For example, in daily life, do you feel that you are breathing all the time? Do you feel relaxed at any time? As long as you are more sensitive to your "feelings", you can feel whether your body and mind are balanced and whether your whole body is affected by stress or physical discomfort. By practicing yoga postures, you can feel your body twisting, folding, leaning backward, bending forward and so on. Exert force, massage, stretch, squeeze and relax the whole body. During the practice, you can operate to the degree that you can feel best.

5. I want to concentrate

A serious woman is the most beautiful, because serious concentration is a fascinating factor. If you distribute this factor to every part of the body and every cell, of course you are beautiful! To practice yoga, we must pay so much attention to the feeling of every inch inside and outside the body, awaken the function of the body, feel and love our body, and feel, experience and protect the most sensible parts with dedicated consciousness, so that the practice of yoga posture can taste pressing, pressing, touching, pushing, pulling, squeezing, tightening and loosening with dedicated consciousness from time to time because of the change of posture.

I want to balance.

How long has it been since you kept your balance? "Balance" is very important to health, and the balance of body and mind will be radiant. People who lose balance will definitely be eclipsed, just as a house can never be built without a solid and balanced foundation. The only exception is the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy, which is the only miracle in decades. In order to maintain its balance, later generations also tried their best to repair and maintain it, and found out the "balance in imbalance" to maintain it. So balance is very important. Only when there is balance can there be a solid pillar, and only when there is balance can there be a healthy body and mind. So another trick to practicing yoga is to "keep balance": when doing simple back bends, remember to bend forward; Don't forget the right side when you do the left side, and remember to twist the left side when you twist the right side. This balancing exercise is correct!

I want to continue

When practicing yoga, we should completely eliminate the mentality of fishing for three days and drying the net for two days, otherwise the effect of having a good figure and a healthy figure will be discounted. Persistence and persistence is a very important spirit of yoga learning. It doesn't matter if you want to practice or not, but you will give up practicing in the end. What a pity! In fact, it is not difficult to last. I especially remind you not to be too greedy when you read this book and make up your mind to start planning to practice yoga! Too much time is arranged and too many times are practiced. As a result, I was so tired that I kept practicing less than twice. Instead, I became stressed, and eventually I would definitely stop or give up practicing. What a pity!

★8. I want to love

Being loved is happy, and every woman wants someone to love her. In contrast, love is hard! Similarly, falling in love with yoga requires a hard practice process. After getting familiar with it, you can naturally feel the comfort and health brought by yoga. This feeling will make you fall in love with yoga like an addiction, and then you must make yoga fall in love with your body. You must date yoga every day, or something will happen to you-that's right! As long as you can be infatuated with yoga, declare "I want to fall in love", do yoga every day, and let both body and mind feel the joy of being loved, you will always be young, healthy and beautiful!
