Common mistakes in yoga practice

Yoga practice may seem simple, and there are many people who practice on their own against books and videos, but in fact it is easy to fall into misconceptions when practicing yoga accidentally. Here is a list of those most likely to make mistakes when practicing yoga.

Deliberate Breathing

Breathing is done throughout the entire exercise. When a bottle of perfume is placed in front of you, you will breathe in and out normally, but when reminded to smell the perfume, your breathing will subconsciously increase. The same problem is encountered when practicing yoga. Often, when it comes to breathing, the human brain subconsciously tenses up and it is difficult to breathe freely. The solution: practice more. Breathing can be practiced, slowly control your mind, do not imply that you are deliberately breathing. Slowly restore the subconscious breathing to a free, natural state, so that breathing and body movements to coordinate a lot, and drive the action to travel every form.

Practice with reluctance

Many of the movements of yoga require long practice to get right. For example, many people can do a common movement like pulling the two hands together on the back with the right arm, but it is quite difficult to do with the left arm. If you get impatient and force yourself to do this movement, you will end up with a sprained arm or a painful shoulder after the exercise. Adjustment methods: keep the pace of movement, think more about the auxiliary methods. Practice this action must be calm, you can use a towel to assist to complete. Both hands wrench towards the towel, try to get closer little by little. This practice a few more times, after a period of time, you will find that the back of the left hand can easily achieve the effect you want.

Ignore your own feelings

The process of practicing yoga should be a relaxing and comfortable process for you. But while practicing you find yourself struggling, either with a tense neck or a tight chest ...... The calisthenics approach: self respect. A very important thing to do yoga is to learn to nettle weight for yourself. When feeling uncomfortable, it is best to stop immediately and ask yourself why you are uncomfortable. Be respectful of your own feelings and be sure to make yourself feel comfortable.

Too much pursuit of movement perfection

Because doing yoga can make the form and demeanor beautiful. You do all the moves carefully, hoping to be as good as your teacher. But after one class, you find yourself exhausted by the beauty and no joy. Adjustment: Recognize that yoga is not a "competitive" sport, and that "having fun and doing your best" is the best state. It is difficult to experience spiritual joy by deliberately pursuing perfection. The beauty of yoga is achieved slowly through long time practice, it is a kind of beauty from inside to outside.

Practicing too hard

Some people follow weight training when practicing yoga, thinking that the more painful the more effective. When we practice yoga, our body should not feel the pain, if we practice too hard, when the pain occurs, it means that the muscle pressure has reached the upper limit, if we practice hard again, it is easy to get injured. Adjustment method: yoga is exercise, practice to feel pain on relax some. Abandon weight training, let the body feel relaxed and happy.

Eat too much to practice

Some people will eat a meal before practicing yoga, this will easily burden the stomach and the body will have many discomforts during yoga. Generally we say practice yoga after 4 hours after a full meal or simply practice in the morning on an empty stomach. You can also eat bananas and bread before running to replenish your energy, and then practice after half an hour.
