Two hours before practicing yoga, you should be on an empty stomach, wear loose clothes and take off your jewelry. After yoga, you can eat for 20 minutes and take a bath for 30 minutes.
Beginners of yoga should not listen to other people's bluff to practice bikram yoga, especially those who are in poor health will faint on the spot.
No matter how well you practice yoga, you must remember not to do what you can't do. The effect of yoga exercise is understandable, but there are also many problems of strain. In fact, the purpose of yoga practice is not how standard your movements are, but whether you realize the required effect. Many times, even if your movements are small, it will have an effect. So, don't be too nervous for an action, remember! Remember!
Yoga can not only exercise your body, but also change your mentality. In my personal experience, when practicing yoga, everything outside is empty, but my body becomes very sensitive. I can feel every part of my body, even the peristalsis of my intestines, the flow of blood and the stretching of my bones and muscles, so I have no worries after practicing. I only have my own body in my heart, which is very good and worth practicing.
Another advantage of practicing yoga is that it is not easy to get out of touch. If you practice every day, your movements will hardly change. If it is an interest class or something, even if you don't come for ten days, you won't be unable to keep up with others. However, if you really don't practice for a few days, you will feel stiff and need a few days to adapt.
Although the movements of yoga have not changed much, the feeling of practicing every day is different. At first, it was like a gourd ladle with a shape. Gradually, it will feel that although it is the same pose, it is changing, because practicing yoga is not to achieve the theoretical "ecstasy state" (emptiness is color, ecstasy is me, perhaps this principle, or it may be that a rookie like us must have me before forgetting myself), so we should always pay attention to ourselves. Forget everything around you and just feel your body, from the whole to the local to the details, from imitation to the initial feeling of your breathing, to the feeling of muscle movement in breathing, to the feeling of stretching of bones and muscles, and then to the feeling of slow and rapid blood flow in blood vessels ... This feeling is slowly realized in the same room. When you are completely absorbed in these things, your surroundings will become indifferent (is this forgetting me? God knows! )
I can't understand meditation in yoga. The coach told me that meditation is not thinking about nothing, but thinking about one thing, such as breathing. So I did as the coach said, always fell asleep in less than ten minutes, and occasionally dreamed. Let me explain first, I have enough sleep, and I can't help falling asleep for more than twelve hours every day. Some "predecessors" said that I was too into the state, right?
Supplementary question:
Of course, you can do it at home, but if you haven't practiced before, you'd better have a coach with you. Otherwise, you will either practice too simply and have no effect or play too hard. The coach will teach you to adjust your breath at first, which is absolutely different from reading and practicing.
There are many basic actions on the internet. I'll introduce you to a better website.
A complete exercise is like this:
1, start (adjust interest rate first)
Sit cross-legged, keep your waist straight, keep your mouth closed, breathe as usual, calm your heart, and slowly pay attention to let your abdomen fall together to breathe (if you can't, lie on the bed and feel that your abdomen expands outward when inhaling and contracts inward when exhaling, which is called abdominal breathing).
Step 2 warm up and practice
There are many kinds. Look at the introduction on the webpage. If what you see is XX style, don't worry. It is the name of a group of actions, which is usually introduced in detail. One of them is too basic to be introduced. Let me tell you something:
Yamagata (or Yamagata): refers to standing at attention, with the hips tightened inward and the thigh muscles tightened.
3. Rest style
Lie flat, feet apart naturally, palms up, arms and body at a 45-degree angle, close your eyes, in this order (or refine to muscles and bones).
Toes-anklets-calves-knees-thighs-hips-waist-chest-shoulders-teeth-eyes-temples-scalp
Put your consciousness on these parts of your body in turn, and relax subconsciously every time you land. If you don't feel relaxed, imagine letting it relax. After that, relax all over, exercise your anklets and hands ten minutes later, and then sit up and finish.
