What should you pay attention to when practicing yoga?

Through yoga practice, our consciousness can be elevated and our bodies can unleash their great potential. Yoga practice is a very ancient form of fitness. Through this practice, we can improve our physical, mental and emotional state, and also improve our mental state. Of course, there are many issues that need to be paid attention to when practicing yoga. Let me briefly introduce them below.

The best time to practice yoga is on an empty stomach. Before preparing to practice yoga, there should be a 2-3 hour fasting period. Practicing yoga on an empty stomach can prevent the blood and nutrients in the brain and limbs from being affected by the digestive system. At the same time, it ensures the health-preserving effect of yoga training on the body and avoids discomfort in internal organs and other parts caused by twisting and other movements. Yoga requires extremely strong body flexibility, but beginners generally have poor body flexibility, and their endurance and learning abilities also vary. Therefore, yoga training should be conducted according to one's own characteristics. Just do your best with the guidance of a coach. When practicing yoga, do not rush for success, do not overestimate your abilities, do not blindly imitate the coach's movements, and do not easily try difficult movements to avoid frustration and sports injuries.

Yoga is a fitness exercise, not a competitive sport. We don’t need to compare ourselves with others, nor do we need to envy how well other students perform their movements. Once you develop a competitive mentality, your emotions will be affected. Yoga requires a calm mindset to practice so that you can focus more on learning and training. We just need to compare ourselves to ourselves, and as time goes by, our proficiency in yoga will increase and our flexibility will become better.

Here are some things to note when practicing yoga. Practicing yoga can bring our body and mind into harmony and unity. After the Indians invented yoga, they firmly believed that this form of exercise could help us achieve the state of harmony between man and nature, improve our morality, and enable us to be free of desires through yoga practice.
