It's a little cold. Is it suitable for yoga?
It is not advisable to practice yoga when you have a cold, because:

1, you will sweat a lot during exercise, and the toxins in your body will be excreted quickly. On the surface, it can temporarily relieve cold symptoms, but it will bury many "hidden dangers", because about 24 hours after strenuous exercise, there will be immunosuppression. During this time, the immune cells will start to "strike" and rest, and the cold virus will invade the body, which is exactly what the immune system needs.

2. After exercise, the body's metabolism will be more vigorous, and it will consume a lot of sugar, fat and protein. In the body, it weakens the body's resistance. In crowded sports occasions, the "fragile" resistance often cannot withstand any bacterial attack, which aggravates the degree of cold.

3. Nose breathing is of great significance to yoga practice. If the nostrils are blocked or have a runny nose, it will not only affect breathing, but also affect the effect. There are diseases in the lungs during a cold, and various breathing methods of yoga will greatly stimulate the lungs, which may aggravate the illness and consume physical strength. It's best to rest more during a cold and don't announce your energy.

If it is an infectious cold, it will be transmitted to others.

Therefore, try to rest after a cold, create favorable conditions for the body's resistance, eliminate toxins from the body by drinking plenty of water, and choose moderate exercise after a cold is cured, so that the muscles and joints that have rested for a while can have an adaptation process.

However, the natural therapy in yoga-abdominal breathing can relieve colds.

Keep lying flat, close your eyes, put one hand on your lower abdomen and the other hand on your upper abdomen, relax your muscles, don't use force, inhale through your nose, feel the gas slowly fill your abdomen through your nose, throat and chest, and then exhale slowly through your nose until the gas in your abdomen is completely exhausted, so that your abdomen sinks naturally, and then continue to inhale, and so on.
