Avoid eating within an hour before and after practicing yoga, and try to avoid practicing within two hours after a meal.
2. Warming up is very important. Do not do difficult movements at the beginning, so as not to cause sports injuries. It is better to do some yoga warm-up first, and gradually, so as to avoid the body being frightened.
3. Relax your mind as much as possible during practice, and allow your body to feel a little sore, but do not use excessive force or force.
4. Don't laugh or talk while practicing, just focus on breathing. Maintain regular, deep breathing, which helps your body relax.
5. It is better to practice every day. After doing a complete yoga movement, remember to lie down and take a big rest.
6. It is advisable to practice in a quiet and well-ventilated room. The indoor air should be fresh and free to inhale oxygen. It is also possible to practice outside, but in a pleasant environment, such as a garden, and not in windy, cold or unclean, smoky air. Do not practice near furniture, stoves or any place that hinders the practice to avoid accidents, especially when doing headstands, do not practice under an electric fan.
