Dos And Donts While Practicing Yoga
from: Kevin PedersonAsk ten different people to define their personal fitness and
health goals and you will certainly get ten different replies.
For some, fitness would mean being able to walk to the car
without passing out. Health would probably mean not catching a
cold from a sneezing co-worker. Others might consider themselves
weak and spiritually unhealthy if they cant bench press 400
pounds and maintain a yogasana for long. The point is, whether
you consider fitness and health four-letter words or primary
life goals, there is a Yoga class out there thats right for you.
Yoga as a form of physical fitness is still underrated. The
greatest misconception is that Yoga isnt really exercise. That
along with sore muscles that you didnt expect to be sore, youll
have a clearer head and will sleep better from just that one
class. Contrary to all that you will probably discover that your
ability to concentrate improves. There are many options for
participating in Yoga classes and most of the bigger membership
health clubs offer yoga on a regular basis.
Instead of benefiting, faulty practice is more likely to invite
trouble. Bad temper, agitation and heaviness indicate incorrect
Yoga practice. If these happen, you should stop and seek the
guidance of an experienced teacher.
However here are some dos and donts for your benefit:
Dont do asanas with cold muscles. Warm up for 5 to 10 minutes
with gentle movements such as easy walking or swinging your arms
in a circle. Start each asana slowly, exhaling as you gently
stretch muscles. Hold each asana for at least 15 to 30 seconds.
Dont bounce; rather ease into asanas and hold them for a while.
Dont strain or push asanas till they hurt. When pain starts, we
suggest you ease up. Dont hold your breath for longer than is
comfortable. Children who are below the age of 16 should not be
taught pranayama. Dont practice asanas soon after pranayama. But
pranayama can be practiced after asanas. Dont practice pranayama
in a hurry or when your chest is congested. Allow at least 2
hours after your meals before practicing. Best have some water
before and after class as it helps cool the body down. Always
keep your teacher informed of your physical condition before
class so that you may be advised of relevant instructions. Dont
hold or strain your breath in an asana nor sacrifice a soft,
long, deep breath for an advanced asana.
Have fun and all the best.
