When practicing yoga, why does the yoga teacher ask you to be barefoot without shoes and socks?

Stamp the blue words on it and pay attention to us! For beginners of yoga, at the beginning of yoga practice, yoga teachers will require complete barefoot, no shoes and socks.

Some yoga teachers even require shorts and knees to be exposed…

It’s OK in summer, but do I have to take off my socks in cold winter? In fact, the reason why yoga teachers recommend barefoot practice is: 1.

The effect of yoga practice is poor when wearing socks.

People who have practiced yoga once in socks should have this experience, because it will be very slippery to practice yoga on the cushion surface in socks, and you will always be in the state of adjusting your feet.

This will not only do the asana well, but also interfere with your attention, make your asana do not go deep, and have no time to pay attention to your breathing and heart.

Obviously, the effect of such practice will not be very good.

2.

Barefoot practice can improve the awareness of both feet and body.

Many people can’t effectively control each toe, mostly because their feet are bound for a long time or their feet have never moved.

Barefoot practice can free your feet from the shackles of socks and shoes, enable them to move more freely and easily, and effectively improve the awareness of the body.

3.

The feet are the foundation of yoga asana and the source of plantar energy, which is transmitted upward along this path.

In addition, the plantar is also the source of problems.

Problems such as hamstring tension, lumbar lordosis and cervical spine extension are often caused by limited plantar energy.

Barefoot practice can free your feet from bondage, effectively stretch and become more flexible, so as to make your feet softer and easier to conduct movements.

It can also solve other problems caused by your feet in the watch chain behind the fascia of the body.

4.

In yoga practice, the state of both feet often affects the state of the whole asana, and yoga beginners may have effective control in the early stage of yoga practice.

Practicing yoga barefoot allows yoga teachers or yourself to observe the state of your feet at any time and make adjustments in time.

Then, it is not easy for teachers to observe problems and wear socks.

At the same time, it is not conducive to giving guiding opinions.

For people with plantar fasciitis, flat feet and other foot problems, especially barefoot practice.

Only in this way can the teacher see the state of your feet and better help you adjust.

If the weather is cold and you don’t want to take off your socks, you can also wear socks and do preparatory activities to warm up your body, and then take off your socks to practice.

After you’ve read it, you can watch it before you go 👍。.
