These often unspoken rules of yoga can help you stay zen on your mat and get the most out of your practice.
Yoga is great exercise, but when you’re in a yoga studio, typical gym rules do not apply. This is not just a workout – but also a spiritual and meditative practice, and one that takes place in small, warm rooms that can get crowded, sweaty and even emotional.
It is important to follow some rules before and while doing yoga, which we are talking about below:
- According to the rules, yoga should be done before sunrise and after sunset. It is more beneficial to do yoga early in the morning.
- It is necessary to do a light warm-up before yoga, so that the body opens up.
- Yoga should always be started with Tadasana.
- Yogasana should be done in the morning on an empty stomach.
- Those doing yoga for the first time should do light yoga postures in the beginning. Then as you get used to them, keep increasing your level. This
- During this it is necessary to seek the help of a trainer.
- If someone is doing yoga in the evening, then do it only after three to four hours of having a meal. Also, eat something only after half an hour of doing yoga.
- One should not take a bath immediately after doing yoga, but should wait for some time.
- One should always do yoga by wearing comfortable clothes.
- Where you are doing yoga, the place should be clean and quiet.
- Try to remove negative thoughts from your mind while doing yoga.
- The most important rule of yoga is to do it patiently and do not put too much emphasis in any asana. Do it according to your ability.
- All yogasanas depend on inhalation and exhalation, which is necessary to have complete knowledge. If possible, first learn about it, only then do it by yourself.
- If someone is sick or pregnant, after consulting a doctor, do yoga under the supervision of a yoga instructor.
- Always do Shavasana at the end of yoga. It calms down the body and mind completely. Yoga is fully beneficial only after doing Shavasana.
- Do not drink cold water during yoga, because the body is hot while doing yoga. Drink normal or lukewarm water instead of cold water.
