Precautions for getting started with yoga:
1, don't do yoga on an empty stomach.
It is best to finish eating one hour before yoga, but if you are too late to eat an hour ago but are hungry, you can eat a banana 20 minutes before yoga, which can resist hunger without indigestion.
Don't be shy to show off your figure.
People who practice yoga in advertisements are slim, but they can practice yoga well regardless of their waistlines. In fact, research shows that yoga can help people lose weight and avoid getting fat.
3, don't have to pursue the ultimate
You may have seen a yogi twist his body like noodles, but this is only the best state of practice. Even if you are born stiff, your body will become flexible through practice. In addition, you should know that yoga is not only about posing, but also about adjusting breathing and relaxing.
4, do not need socks and gloves
Non-slip gloves and socks will make you feel wrong about the position of your body when practicing yoga posture, which will lead to the inability to do specific yoga movements and the effect of yoga practice will not be exerted for a long time.
