Many people learn yoga only with enthusiasm, and do not understand the basic knowledge of yoga, so they are very vulnerable to injury in yoga, and often lose interest due to slow progress, and then give up, and finally end up complaining that yoga is useless.

In fact, this is wrong.

Complete the movement slowly to prevent muscle strain and stretch within a safe range.

Because the muscles have the characteristics of relaxing when exhaling and tense when inhaling, they should practice together with breathing.

According to the principle of “lifting is suction, lowering is exhalation; opening is suction, closing is exhalation”.

Before the exercise: 1.

The practitioner will do the pose correctly as long as he/she stretches the pose to his/her own limit.

Practitioners should first understand the “warning” item of the exercise, and then begin to practice.

Yoga should be practiced on an empty stomach and can only be performed about three hours after a meal.

Because the blood of the body is concentrated on local muscles or organs during yoga practice to meet the needs of sports.

Therefore, it reduces the amount of blood delivered to the digestive system and affects the digestion and absorption of food.

If you are not used to or should not have an empty stomach, you can eat a little food that is easy to digest: milk, yogurt, honey, fruit juice, etc.

an hour before the exercise.
