If you practice at home, it will take at least 30 minutes to have a significant effect. If you don't have enough time, you can practice pranayama or meditate for ten minutes.

3. Practice yoga without shoes and barefoot. On the one hand, barefoot can relax the legs, enhance the perception of the soles of the feet, massage and squeeze the soles of the feet; On the other hand, the friction between the sole of the foot and the ground facilitates the completion of yoga postures, especially balance exercises. Of course, if the weather is cold, you can also put on socks to practice.

Other times are fine, but after keeping an empty stomach or fully digesting (digesting food). As for meditation, you can choose to practice late at night or around 4 am. If you don't have time to concentrate on practicing, you can also divide the exercise into several or even more than a dozen paragraphs. You can practice one or two yoga postures or carry out pranayama in five minutes: meditation, which is equivalent to a yoga class at the end of the day.
5. When practicing, many postures will squeeze into your stomach, and you may feel dizzy and even vomit after eating. Moreover, when practicing, the blood of the body is concentrated on local muscles or organs, which will affect the digestion and absorption of food and increase the burden on the heart. If you feel hungry, you can eat a small amount of digestible food 1 ~ 2 hours before practice, which can alleviate the hunger in practice.
6. Taking a bath will make it easier to practice yoga poses. After practicing yoga asana, it is best to take a bath after 15 minutes, because your body will become sticky because of sweating. Taking a bath before and after practicing yoga poses can make your body and mind more excited.
