Hello I am Dr abida sultana Today I will discuss Ten tips before practicing yoga. If someone reads Ten tips before practicing yoga article he will know more about this topic, let's read the article till the end.

• 
  
•  If it is the first time you are going to do yoga, go to a center where there are trained teachers who can guide you and get you started in the practice. Trying to do it with a video, without anyone to correct you if you don't have the correct posture, can expose you to injury.
• Choose your style. There are different styles of yoga: some focus more on the physical aspect, others on the spiritual or psychological aspect, others combine both; There are classes aimed at children or adults; There are centers that have slower or faster sessions, with different levels of difficulty... Take into account your preferences, your available time, your budget, your health and physical condition. It also values ​​the training of the teachers and their experience, the conditions of the premises where it is carried out.
• Move forward gradually, with comfort and safety. The postures and movements may be uncomfortable, but they should not be painful.
• Respect your body, your abilities. Don't try to do the most difficult poses on the first day. Try it when you're sure you can do it. And in the meantime, ask your yoga teacher. I'm sure they can suggest modifications or variations to most of the postures.
• Pain is a warning that you should not push too hard or that you should not continue. And if the pain gets worse, it is time to stop activity. In that case, consult your doctor, especially if, in addition to pain, you notice paresthesia (tingling and numbness) or other neurological or musculoskeletal alterations.
• Maintain proper hydration during the yoga session, especially when you practice it at high temperatures. If it's very hot, try to drink some water before, during and after your yoga class.
• Wear light, comfortable and breathable clothing. Many people use waterproof clothing that prevents perspiration with the argument of losing weight. Weight is lost, but exclusively from water, which increases the risk of dehydration. In addition, fatigue will come much sooner. It is a practice that should be avoided.
• Avoid eating right before doing the activity. If you have had a large meal, allow at least 1 or 2 hours to pass before going to yoga class.
• Use a suitable mat. It is important that:
• do not slide, to avoid falls;
• do not sink to facilitate balance postures;
• Provide cushioning at pressure points while supporting yourself in different postures.
• Practice and enjoy it. As with any physical activity, the more you practice yoga, as long as you do it safely, the lower the risk of injury or discomfort.
