Are you an amateur in the field of yoga and want to learn yoga? Here are some points you need to remember before you start learning yoga.
- Most important point is to learn yoga under the guidance of a trained instructor. The instructor will have an understanding on the scientific basis of yoga practice and can guide you well on how to start yoga.
- Although age and sex are irrelevant for learning yoga but one should keep in mind that children less than 8 years of age are not advised to practice yoga.
- Menstruating or pregnant women are suggested to stay away from the poses which lay a huge pressure on the abdomen region.
- Very old and very young people should avoid postures with extreme twists. After 12 years of age only yogic breathing exercises should be introduced.
- Prefer an indoor room as a place to perform yoga but make sure that the ground is flat and plain.
- If you want to perform yoga outdoor then make sure that the place is quite and peaceful as well as protected from rodents, insects and animals.
- Morning time is the perfect time to practice yoga; you can choose evening time also. If you had a meal, its better to perform yoga after 5 hours.
- Try not to overeat, instead take a nutritious and simple diet. Try and avoid spicy and hot food.
- Sometimes there may be gap due to illness or work load but try to avoid lengthy and frequent gaps.
- Always select light, loose fitting clothes. Practice yoga on a carpet or a mat but not at all on an uncovered ground.
- If you are trying different combination of yogic techniques it is better to have a gap of 15 minutes in between two.
