Learn Yoga from Scratch: How to Practice Yoga at Home

　　Many people are too lazy to go to yoga centers and just want to study by themselves at home with textbooks. However, a book or a CD can never replace a teacher, because a teacher can communicate and give feedback, but a book and a CD can never provide feedback. Reading a book before learning, or after you have learned it for a while, will help you understand more about yoga as an exercise method and fitness technique. If you have been studying yoga for a while and have experience practicing yoga, it is good to practice based on the CD. In addition, if the information is not very good, you do not pay attention to breathing and muscle movement during practice, and the practice method is incorrect, it may cause some injuries.

　　Why is it not good for beginners to practice yoga at home?

　　Since a beginner has no foundation, it is difficult for him to practice the movements in place by referring to books and CDs. Even if he has some good conditions and does it in front of the mirror, there are still many places that cannot be seen, such as the back, etc. Some movements are not done properly. Long-term practice may cause sprains or injuries. The first is strain, and in severe cases, you may suffer from "yoga disease". The second is "lazy". Since there is no one to supervise and practice at home, some people usually feel tired after practicing and will relax themselves, such as taking a break or simply stopping to rest. This practice of yoga will not achieve much effect.

　　How long does it take to learn yoga before practicing it at home?

　　This depends on individual circumstances. Generally speaking, it will take students with good understanding and strong learning ability about 2 years to basically master the essentials.

　　For those who have a foundation in yoga, would it be better to practice it at home?

　　It is best to set aside a fixed time to practice yoga every day. Because many people work, it is almost impossible to go to the club to practice at a fixed time every day. In addition, most clubs have different arrangements for daily classes, which makes it impossible for us to practice yoga every day. In addition, there are some hygiene problems in informal clubs, such as the cleaning of yoga mats, which are not as clean as those at home, so students who have the conditions are best to practice at home.

　　When we practice yoga at home, what aspects should we pay attention to?

　　When practicing yoga at home, just like practicing yoga in daily life, you should pay attention not to eat within half an hour before practicing and keep an empty stomach. However, you need to pay special attention to the following at home:

　　one: The environment must be quiet. When practicing at home, it is best to choose a quiet time at home and turn off the TV, because a noisy environment is very detrimental to the practitioner's ability to enter a meditative state.

　　two: It is necessary to choose music with a soothing rhythm. Music is helpful for our practice. It is best for practitioners to choose music with a rhythm control between 50-60 beats per minute, because this rhythm is close to the rhythm we use when practicing yoga. heart rate。

　　three: The environment must be ventilated. We need a lot of fresh air when practicing, so it is important to maintain ventilation in the space. In particular, I would like to remind everyone that when practicing yoga at home, never turn on the air conditioner.
