What you need to know about yoga

Now yoga is a very popular sport. More and more people begin to practice yoga. Do you know the benefits of yoga? There are many taboos when practicing yoga. For those who just do yoga, you need to know some common sense of yoga, so that you can better practice yoga.

Before yoga

Keep an empty stomach for 3-4 hours, at least 1-2 hours, and do not overload the stomach. The posture of yoga is centered on the spine of the human body, stretching and squeezing from front to back, from left to right. The heavy burden on the stomach will cause nausea, headache, chest tightness, and even vomiting during the practice.

Do not do yoga within 30 minutes after taking a bath or sauna. People's blood circulation accelerates after bathing, and yoga will also promote full blood circulation, which will speed up the heart rate and increase the burden on the heart. Some yoga practitioners usually take a cold bath before practice to clean their bodies, so that the blood circulation will slow down and the heart will not be burdened.

When doing yoga

Do not wear tight clothes during practice. Yoga exercises are different from general fitness exercises. For body training, you should choose loose, sweat absorbing, and breathable yoga wear to facilitate physical activities. Because yoga is a sport to relax our body and mind, and tight yoga wear are not conducive to relaxation. The clothes you can choose are made of pure cotton and hemp. You can choose clothes that are close to your body. In order to complete some flip, handstand type actions. Pants with loose bottoms and tied waist.

The training ground should not be too hard or too soft. Use a professional yoga mat, or spread a blanket or large towel on the floor, and it is appropriate to kneel on your knees without pain. It is not safe to use the mat used for aerobics in the gym to practice yoga. Too thick will lead to failure to get the proper support when completing certain actions, and even bone will be injured in serious cases. On the contrary, if the cushion is too hard, it will not be able to provide the proper protection. If it is light, it will cause inflammation at the stressed part, and if it is heavy, it will damage the normal function of joints and bones.

Don't compare and seek difficult moves. Yoga is not a "contest" of difficult poses. In fact, each process is a pose. Just like a flower opening, it has buds, initial bloom, blooming and blooming, and every moment is beautiful. Guide yoga practice from body perception!

After yoga

Don't sit down and rest immediately after practice. After yoga, squatting and resting immediately will affect the blood circulation, which is not conducive to the elimination of fatigue and the recovery of physical strength.

Don't eat a lot of food within 1 hour after practice. Our intestines and stomach are in a state of relaxation and rest. Eating immediately will cause our intestines and stomach to be overloaded. In addition, after the exercise, when the body's blood is distributed to the bones and muscles of the body, eating food immediately will make a large amount of blood flow to the stomach, which will greatly reduce the blood flow of the heart. This leads to an increase in the burden on the heart.

After yoga, you can't take a bath immediately. The sebum and sweat will form a sebum membrane, which can nourish the skin very well. If you take a bath immediately, you will destroy this beneficial substance. Therefore, it is not recommended to take a bath immediately. However, for high temperature yoga, strength yoga or body yoga training, the situation is different. These kinds of yoga can make the practitioner sweat a lot, and the toxins from sweat need to be washed and discharged, and the sweat stains make people feel uncomfortable. Even so, it should be remembered that you should not take a bath until your breathing and heartbeat return to normal after practice.

Yoga is a lonely journey, but also a kind of training. Yoga can not become beautiful in a day or two. You should develop a regular practice, several times a week, and gradually become a habit. What you need to do is adhere to. We do yoga for our health. Don't let your bad habits become a hazard to your health.
