Yoga precautions to prevent injuries

   　1. Yoga is a form of fitness. Remember to warm up for a few minutes before practicing. During the practice, listen to your deep, gentle breathing to feel every inch of your body as it guides you from one pose to another. If you feel unwell, you should delay your yoga movements.

　　2. Yoga movements need to be practiced carefully over time and with the accumulation of experience. After you have a basic understanding of the movement in your mind, try it with your body. If you are practicing flow yoga or hot yoga, it will be more challenging. When you stretch or squeeze a muscle without feeling pain, tension, or fatigue, you can boldly let your breath lead your body to do better.

　　3. Choose an experienced yoga teacher and keep his methods and style in mind. And let your teacher know your physical condition before class. Don't be shy to ask if your body is suitable for practicing yoga. If your teacher cannot provide feedback on your specific physical condition, then obviously this is a hint: he may not be suitable for you.

　　4. Don’t imitate anyone else. No two people have the same physical condition. Don’t compare with other practitioners, and don’t be frustrated because you can’t do a certain movement. Everyone has their own advantages and disadvantages. You just have to push your limits as your body allows.

　　5. Insist on practicing barefoot and wear soft, comfortable clothing made of non-reactive natural fiber fabrics, which can make your skin Breathe better.

　　6. Be familiar with all parts of your body, especially your legs and feet, tailbone, ischium, pubic bone, sacrum, ribs, collarbone, shoulder blades, neck and head.

　　7. Don’t be afraid to use yoga auxiliary props. They can help us better stretch various parts of the body and make our fitness process more efficient.

　　Remember: yoga is not a competitive sport and pain is caused by soft tissue strain that occurs when ligaments and tendons are forced to stretch beyond what the body is accustomed to.
