1. Prescribed diet
It is best to practice yoga on an empty stomach. Don't overload your stomach. Yoga poses focus on the human spine, stretching and squeezing from front, back, left and right. When the stomach is overloaded, nausea, headache, chest tightness and even severe pain will occur during practice. Vomiting occurs. If you have hypoglycemia or worry about being too hungry, you can eat some digestible liquid food 1.5 2 hours before exercise, or you can eat less snacks and drink some milk.
Don't eat a lot after exercise 1 hour. Because the stomach is in a state of relaxation and rest just after exercise, eating will immediately lead to gastric overload. In addition, the blood of the body is distributed in the limbs, bones and muscles of the body after exercise, so eating immediately will increase the burden on the heart.
Drinking plenty of water before practice will also cause a heavy burden on the stomach, so we should also pay attention to drinking water properly. Drink water every 20 minutes after yoga. Don't drink iced drinks right away. If you are thirsty, please drink warm water first, then put it in your mouth and swallow it slowly. Never practice after drinking.
have a bath
Yoga should not be practiced within 30 minutes after bathing in sauna. After bathing, the blood circulation is accelerated, and practicing yoga can also make the blood fully circulate, which will inevitably increase the burden on the heart.
Don't take a bath within 10 minutes after exercise, and wait until the heart rate returns to normal. And when practicing yoga, the increase of body temperature, especially skin temperature, will increase the secretion of sweat glands and sebaceous glands. Sebum and sweat can form a sebum film, which can nourish the skin well. Taking a bath at once will destroy this beneficial substance.
put on
Don't wear glasses or contact lenses, especially in postures that need to close your eyes, such as basic meditation, basic relaxation and its changes. Please wear comfortable and elastic sportswear or yoga clothes when practicing. Try to take off your bra, socks, watches and jewelry and tie your hair. Let your skin be exposed as much as possible and absorb the energy of the universe.
4. Others
You must warm up before practicing yoga. Focus on breathing, increase the inhaled oxygen through deep breathing to enhance strength and prepare for yoga asana. During the warm-up process, the blood circulation at the end of the body is improved, which helps the body to pose more easily and prevent ligament strain.
Any posture should be gradual and natural. Novices, in particular, should not rush to fast forward and barely reach a certain position. The result will be counterproductive and will inevitably cause harm.
Before doing every action, you must have a good understanding of this action. When doing this action, you must have a clear understanding of your own state. From easy to difficult.
When practicing, you should pay high attention, cooperate with breathing, and carefully experience the feeling of body stretching to achieve physical and mental relaxation. For example, practitioners sometimes feel pain, sometimes they feel comfortable, sometimes they are covered by big bodies, sometimes they feel cold, and all kinds of situations can happen; Please don't be afraid, these are all normal.
