Matters needing attention in self-study yoga:
1, be sure to have an empty stomach before practice.
Yoga never forces practitioners to be vegetarian, but with practice, you will gradually find that your body and mind are developing in a good direction, and you like a light and healthy diet.
It is best to have an empty stomach before yoga practice, but if you feel hungry, it doesn't matter to eat some fruit or drink a glass of milk, especially for practitioners with hypoglycemia, who need to add a little sugar before practice. You'd better wait for 30 minutes before eating after practice.
2. Warm-up is very important.
Don't do difficult movements from the beginning, so as not to cause sports injuries. It is best to do some yoga warm-up exercises first, step by step, to avoid muscle strain! It's important to warm up when doing yoga!
3. Try to relax when practicing.
A little pain can be tolerated, but don't push yourself too hard or force yourself.
4. Practice yoga at fixed time every day.
It is better to integrate yoga into life instead of practicing yoga several times a week.
5. It is advisable to practice in a quiet and ventilated room.
Indoor air should be fresh and oxygen can be inhaled freely. You can also practice outdoors, but the environment should be pleasant, such as the garden. Don't practice in windy, cold or unclean, smoky air.
Step 6 be patient
One of the important secrets of self-study yoga is patience. Don't expect you to get every pose right every time, you just need to enjoy every minute of practicing yoga. The key is to be patient. Once you make some progress, you will feel different.
