Tips before Eenie Yoga Practice
Before you start yoga practice ...
Before you start yoga practice ...- Establish a convenient and regular time for practice, for instance, just after getting up in the morning, or when you come home from work, before dinner or before going to bed. You will soon discover the time which suits your circumstances best.
- It is important not to have a full stomach. A good guideline is to refrain from eating and drinking for about three hours before practice. However, if necessary you could have a glass of milk or juice. Allow half an hour after practice before taking food.
- It is good to have a warm bath before practice, especially if your body is still a little stiff. Baths should be taken before practice, not after.
- Wear comfortable or loose clothing.You need to have complete freedom of movement. Do your exercises in bare feet. You may have a pair of warm socks available for relaxation.
- Use a clean, soft blanket or mat, thick enough to protect your spine and large enough to accommodate your whole body. This blanket or mat should be yours alone.
- Quiet and clean surroundings with a good supply of fresh air are beneficial. If you have the opportunity and weather conditions permit outdoor practice, do not miss it. It is simply wonderful, especially early in the morning.
- Privacy- close the door, take the phone off the hook and make sure you are not disturbed by family or friends for the time you practice. Your family will soon learn to appreciate the newer, calmer you and will grant you this small request of 20, 30 or more minutes by yourself.
- Before settling yourself on your mat, discard all disturbing thoughts, remembering that nothing is ever improved by worrying about it. You have started to bring out all your positive aspects; worry and anxiety cause stress.
- After each yoga session, note in a journal or diary observations of how your body and mind responded to different postures or breathing exercises.
- Note other feelings that may arise.
- The golden rule of all yogic postures is to perform each exercise slowly, carefully and mindfully. Force and strain must be avoided at all times. Body mechanics do vary a little from one person to another. There is no competition in yoga, not with others ... and not with yourself.
