Essential Points Before Starting Yoga
Summary
Embarking on a yoga journey for improved well-being and spiritual health is an excellent choice. However, to prevent injuries, it’s important to consider several key points:
Physical Condition
Yoga is generally recommended for those in good health. If you have any physical concerns and are using yoga as a therapeutic tool, take necessary precautions. Improper practice could affect internal organs like the heart, lungs, and kidneys. Always practice under expert guidance.
Finding the Right Instructor
Choose an instructor who understands the scientific principles of yoga. Avoid teachers who impose personal opinions or include unnecessary rituals. Yoga should not be mysterious nor exorbitantly priced.
Age and Gender Considerations
Yoga is suitable for all ages and genders, but certain techniques need caution. Pregnant or menstruating women should avoid poses that stress the abdomen. Children under eight should not engage in yoga postures; introduce yogic breathing only after the age of twelve. Older adults should avoid intense twists and strenuous poses, focusing instead on pranayama, meditation, and simple postures.
Ideal Environment
Select a place free from animals, rodents, and insects. Indoors should be well-lit and airy. Outdoors should be quiet, but avoid extreme weather. Always practice on flat ground.
Best Time for Practice
Morning is ideal due to regularity, but evenings are also suitable as the body is warmer. Ensure your stomach is not full; wait five hours after a meal to practice.
Diet Recommendations
Opt for a simple, nutritious diet. Avoid overeating and minimize chilies and spices. Being vegetarian is not essential, but eat according to your body’s needs.
Regularity and Breaks
While consistency is key, missing a day or two due to work or illness is fine. Resume your routine as soon as possible and avoid long or frequent breaks.
Appropriate Clothing
Wear light, loose-fitting clothes. In hot climates, sleeveless shirts or vests work well. In colder climates, wear clothing that provides warmth without restricting movement.
Use a Mat or Carpet
Always practice on a mat or carpet?"not directly on the floor.
Sequence of Techniques
When combining yoga with activities like weight training, take a 15-minute rest between sessions. Within yoga, start with postures, followed by breathing techniques, and conclude with mental concentration exercises.
By keeping these points in mind, you can ensure a safe and effective yoga practice.
