2. COVID has made us all go into
the virtual world with online
classes and work from home.
In such times, people get
confused on how do I practice
at home or where should I
practice. Here are some
suggestions to make it easy for
you.
3. EMPTY STOMACH:
Whenever you plan to practice Yoga,
you should not eat anything before 2-3
hours. A lot of Yoga postures include
stomach and abdomen stretch; if you
practice Yoga with a full stomach, it will
be difficult for food to digest in turn
causing other health problems.
4. COMFORTABLE SPACE
Find any well-ventilated room in your
house. You don’t need a huge space,
just for free movement during asanas:
a little more than an elbow space. Do
not practice Yoga in an air-conditioned
room, practice it in natural air. Try to
practice in the same place daily, it will
create an air of positivity.
5. YOGA CLOTHES
The simple rule to this is anything in
which you feel comfortable. Your
clothes should be loose and should
not hinder the movement in any
posture. Do not wear a lot of
accessories or makeup. Use an anti-
skid Yoga mat for doing Yoga.
6. RELAX BEFORE YOU START:
Don’t just rush into it. Relax and calm
your mind before you start your Yoga
practice. Do some 20-30 seconds of
deep breathing. This will help you get
in sync when you start practising.
7. LISTEN TO YOUR BODY
Understand to what extent your body
can perform the asanas and do
accordingly; don’t overpush it. ALso,
do not get intimidated by your teacher
or the person doing next to you. Every
person is at a different stage in Yoga,
beginners may not be able to do
asanas as well as others. So listen to
your body and treat it gently.
8. BREATHE
While doing asanas, one should keep
breathing as instructed. Breathing
enhances your practice. Your mind
gets more synced with your body. Your
practice will get deeper eventually.
9. TAKE YOGA OFF THE MAT
Don’t restrict Yoga to your
class/practice/mat. Enjoy Yoga in your
life. Try to apply whatever learnt in
your daily life 24*7.
