2. Fusion type:
First of all, your body is in a kneeling position, with your feet and instep touching the ground, your legs and calves pressing on the ground, and your thighs are vertical to the ground, so that your hips and knees are on the same vertical line. Take the hip as the folding point, bend the upper body downward, and stretch your arms forward at the same time. Put your hands on both sides of your head as much as possible, keep your shoulders straight and relaxed, and don't shrug your shoulders. Your head and neck naturally hang down and your forehead gently touches the ground.
Try to keep your chest close to the surface of the cushion. With each exhalation, bend down as much as possible. When you find the lowest degree of sinking, keep your body still for 20 seconds, inhale and return to the original position.
3. Baby style:
First, bend your knees, put your legs together, touch your heels, and prepare your body for kneeling. Keep the upper waist and back stretched vertically upward, sit your hips on your heels, then exhale with your hips as the inflection point, and keep your body straight down until your forehead gently touches the ground.
Pay attention to keep your shoulders straight and relaxed during bending. Put your arms at your sides and stretch them in the direction of your heels. Palm up, hands on the ground. Maintain a uniform breathing rhythm throughout the process. After relaxing, keep this posture for 20 seconds, and then return to the original posture.
4. Sphinx:
First of all, the body is prone on the mat surface, with the feet facing up and feet behind the ground. The abdomen at the thighs of the legs is pressed against the ground, the elbows are bent, the forearms are placed on the ground, and the palms are pressed against the ground.

Matters needing attention in summer yoga:
Finally, I need to remind you that before practicing yoga in summer, you can add appropriate amount of warm salt water to prevent excessive sweating from causing electrolyte disorder. Don't wear makeup or sharp ornaments. The practice environment should be kept in a ventilated and bright place, and the temperature of the air conditioner should not be too low. It is advisable to practice for 30 minutes each time, and then take a shower or eat 30 minutes after each time. Never blow or drink cold water directly into the air conditioner to avoid physical discomfort.
Yoga posture figure 2 1, it is best to have an empty stomach before practice.
Keep fasting for 3-4 hours, at least 1-2 hours, and the stomach burden should not be too heavy. Yoga posture is centered on the human spine, stretching and squeezing from front to back. Excessive stomach burden will make practitioners feel nausea, headache, chest tightness and even vomiting in severe cases.
2. Don't eat a lot after exercise 1 hour.
After practice, our stomach is in a state of relaxation and rest, and eating immediately will lead to overload of the stomach. In addition, after the exercise, the blood of the body is distributed in the bones and muscles of the whole body. Eating food immediately will make a lot of blood flow to the stomach and greatly reduce the blood flow of the heart. Causing a heavier burden on the heart.
3. Yoga should not be done within 30 minutes after bathing or sauna.
Bathing accelerates blood circulation, and yoga practice also promotes full blood circulation, which will inevitably accelerate the heart rate and increase the burden on the heart. Yoga practitioners in India usually take a cold bath before practice in order to clean their bodies. The speed of blood circulation in the body slows down, so it will not increase the burden on the heart. & gt& gt& gt Primary Yoga One-Day Practice Plan
4. Don't take a bath immediately after practice.
Sebum and sweat can form a sebum film, which has a good nourishing effect on the skin (this is also one of the reasons why yoga has a beauty and skin care effect). Taking a bath at once will destroy this beneficial substance. Therefore, it is recommended not to take a shower immediately.
But for high-temperature yoga, strength yoga or body yoga training, the situation is different. These kinds of yoga will make practitioners sweat a lot, and the toxins discharged by sweat need to be discharged through bathing, and sweat stains make people feel uncomfortable. Even so, remember that you can't take a bath until your breathing and heartbeat return to normal after practice.
5. It is not advisable to wear tight clothes when practicing.
Yoga practice is different from general aerobics and physical training. When practicing, you should choose loose, sweat-absorbing and breathable clothes to facilitate physical activities. Because yoga is a kind of exercise to relax our body and mind, too tight clothes are not conducive to relaxation. The clothes you can choose are pure cotton and linen.
You can choose close-fitting clothes for tops. In order to complete some somersaults and handstands. It is best to have loose pants and a waist for the lower body.
6. The practice field should not be too hard or too soft.
It's best to use a professional yoga mat, or spread a blanket or a big towel on the floor, so it doesn't hurt to kneel. It is not safe to practice yoga with aerobic mats in the gym. Too thick will lead to the failure to get proper support when completing some actions, and in severe cases, it will hurt the bones.
On the contrary, if the cushion is too hard and not protected, it will lead to inflammation of the stressed parts, and in severe cases, it will damage the normal functions of joints and bones.
7, posture practice should be slow, with correct breathing, can achieve better results.
Breathing is usually done through the nostrils unless there is a special posture. Breathing generally adopts natural breathing, and some movements will use abdominal breathing to relieve the pressure on the chest. Most of the primary posture exercises are stretching exercises without holding your breath. Take a deep breath and breathe slowly, and the breath should be carried out in coordination with the movements, especially when keeping the movements.
8, posture exercises should be based on their own maximum, and do not have to be the same as the teacher.
Exercise should be gradual, don't rush for success, and it is safest and most effective to reach your limit.
9. Avoid wearing accessories (such as belts, watches, necklaces and earrings).
These ornaments not only affect the movement, but also easily hurt the body when practicing.
10, practice 3-4 times a week, at least 2 times.
According to the strict practice requirements of yoga, keep practicing every day. If you don't practice for a long time, you can practice in several time periods. It is important to form the habit of practice. To achieve results, at least twice a week.
In fact, we don't have to take classes in a yoga studio or fitness center to practice yoga. We spend more than 15 minutes at home and in the office every day practicing yoga postures or pranayama, which can also make monks get satisfactory results.
1 1. If you feel uncomfortable or uncomfortable during the practice, you should stop practicing immediately.
When practicing, you should concentrate on it, so as to achieve better results. And concentration can make you feel that when you feel uncomfortable, stop immediately so as not to hurt yourself.
12, exercise should be carried out barefoot.
This can make the feet relax, better adhesion, direct feel and more stable posture. In addition, it can also play the role of rubbing feet.
13, defecation before exercise.
It is best to empty your body before practice, so that you can clean your body and concentrate on completing yoga practice. Finally, don't forget to communicate with the teacher before and after practice and solve your problems in time.

So, what should we pay attention to after practicing yoga?
first
Be sure not to take a bath immediately after practice, because you are sweating a lot. Because when practicing yoga, the pores are open, so the body is very keen at this time, and cold and hot will hurt the body and cause diseases. It is recommended to take another bath in 30-60 minutes.
second
There are no strict rules about the time to practice yoga. If you are free of time, you can practice for 40min minutes to 1 hour; If time is limited, it is ok to practice for about ten minutes. It is important to stick to it every day and turn yoga into a habit.
third
Don't eat immediately after practice. It is best to eat 1 hour after 30 minutes. Because in yoga practice, the digestive organs have been fully massaged, and it takes some time to rest and adjust after practice, so as to protect and enhance the organ function to the maximum extent.
Knowing these precautions before and after practicing yoga, you can be fully prepared, completely immersed in yoga and enjoy the health and happiness brought by yoga.
