Time: Generally speaking, people practice yoga postures in the morning, at noon, at dusk or before going to bed. In fact, as long as you are on an empty stomach, you can practice at any time of the day. In other words, it is not appropriate to practice yoga posture after meals (within 3 hours). In the eyes of real yogis, 4-6 am is the best time to practice yoga, because at this time, everything around is quiet, the atmosphere is purest, gastrointestinal activities are basically stopped, the brain is inactive, and it is easy to enter the deep practice state of yoga.

Location: It is best to practice yoga in a clean and comfortable room, with enough room for stretching and avoiding any furniture. The indoor air is fresh and circulating, and oxygen can be inhaled freely. It is best to put green plants or flowers, or play soft music to help relax your nerves.

Of course, you can also choose to practice in the open air, such as gardens and other places with good environment Never practice in strong wind, cold or polluted air, or in direct sunlight (except at dawn, when the light is soft and healthy).

Clothing: Wear loose and soft clothes when practicing yoga posture, especially clothes made of cotton and linen, and make sure that ventilation and body are not restricted when practicing. You must take off your shoes, socks (keep your feet warm in cold weather), watches, glasses, belts and other accessories.

Props: Of course, it is best to use professional yoga mats when practicing yoga. When the ground is too hard or uneven, the yoga mat can play a buffering role and help you keep balance. However, if you don't have a professional yoga mat, you can lay a carpet or fold a blanket. Don't practice on the hard floor or soft bed, and be careful not to slip. Beginners can also practice some postures with some props, such as yoga bricks, yoga ropes, and even walls, tables and chairs. Many postures can use corresponding props to help you practice step by step, and at the same time more accurately grasp the feeling that each posture conveys to your body.

Bathing: Don't practice yoga within 20 minutes before bathing, because practicing yoga will make your body feel extremely sharp. At this time, if hot and cold stimulation is given, it will harm the body and consume the energy stored in the body. Yoga should not be practiced within 20 minutes after bathing, because blood circulation is accelerated and muscles become soft after bathing. If you practice yoga immediately, it will not only hurt your health, but also lead to an increase in blood pressure and an increase in the burden on your heart. Patients with heart disease, hypertension, hyperthyroidism and other diseases should pay special attention to this.

Besides, don't practice yoga posture after taking a bath in Sun Long. Taking a cold bath about 1 hour before practicing yoga can make your practice achieve better results.

Diet: As mentioned above, yoga posture should not be practiced within 3 hours after meals. But you can eat a small amount of liquid food or drinks, such as milk, yogurt, honey, juice and so on. Before practice 1 hour or so. You can drink a little water when practicing to help expel toxins from your body (even drink more water when doing duck walking exercises). It is best to eat after yoga practice 1 hour. It is best to eat some natural foods and avoid some greasy, spicy or hyperacidity foods. Eating enough is enough. Eating too much can make people feel bored and lazy. In addition, after practicing yoga, it is normal to eat less, exhaust more and defecate more.

[Edit this paragraph] Index and principle of yoga practice

All sports will have some instructions and precautions before they start, and yoga is no exception. In this chapter, we will talk about some precautions in yoga practice and why there are these precautions.

First, yoga is easy to practice on an empty stomach.

Unless otherwise specified in the exercise, it is best to practice three to four hours after meals and about half an hour after drinking liquids.

Let's look at the reason for this rule. Yoga moves are bending, stretching, twisting and pushing. Bending, stretching, twisting and pushing are the characteristics of yoga. Let's do a little experiment: there is a big plastic bag full of things. What happens when you squeeze this bag? It will explode. If our stomach is full of food and then squeezed, it will only bring unnecessary burden to the digestive system. If we happen to squeeze rice into the appendix, we will be in big trouble. This article is considered from the perspective of our overall health. Since it is considered from the perspective of health, there is no need for dogma. In other words, you only ate an apple for this meal. You just need to digest it and practice on an empty stomach. As long as your stomach is empty, and don't jump around immediately to cause gastroptosis, otherwise it will easily cause food to enter the non-digestive tract. Do you have the feeling that after drinking water, whether you are ready to run or exercise, will you feel like a water bag? You will be embarrassed and uncomfortable, and your gastrointestinal tract will be uncomfortable, so let's not practice immediately after drinking water. If a friend is really thirsty, you can take a sip, preferably within 60 ml. Then we will see that there are other rules in the exercise. What do you mean by not following this example? This is because of our clean work. For example, capra Shanlana, a businessman from Hatta Six Industries, needs to drink a lot of water in the practice of Shangka. It washes your intestines with the help of water and specific actions, so it is otherwise stipulated in practice, and this example is not followed. In addition, there are Bikram yoga exercises. During the whole practice, you sweated a lot and lost too much water. You can drink water in practice.

Second, when doing various yoga moves, you must gently stretch your body at the edge of the limit, and don't push and pull hard. If you exceed your limit, it is a wrong exercise.

There is a word here that may not be clear to everyone. What does it mean to be on the edge of the limit? A group of well-known lyrics say that it hurts and is happy. I stretched forward, stretching beyond endurance, but at the limit of stretching, I felt the joy of exercise. Do it. If it's painful, it won't work. I can't pull the teacher like that. If I pull hard, my muscles will tear and strain. If you want to go further, it will hurt, it will hurt. Although I'm still a little short, I'm painful and happy. This is the edge of the limit. Gentle stretching, controlled exercise. Don't push and pull too much. For thousands of years, yoga has been regarded as a sport with little sports injury. But now, more people are injured while practicing yoga. Is yoga not good? No, everyone didn't follow the rules of the game. Attention, be sure to pay attention to this one. When doing various yoga moves, you must gently stretch your body at the edge of your body limit, and don't push or pull hard.

If you feel tired or trembling during the practice, please take back your work immediately and don't insist too much.

You may have such a situation, for example, where you are on the boat, have you ever experienced muscle trembling? Yes, I did. Why do I tremble? It's muscle fatigue. For example, when you are extremely tired, if I ask you to do the sun ceremony 20 times, you may go on strike. Muscles, too, can't keep shaking. Why did you push it? It will get hurt. So, when you are exhausted and can't do it, don't force yourself to do it. Don't be depressed about what you can't do. As long as you practice regularly and give time, your body's endurance will get stronger and stronger, and your physique will get better and better. ...
