Precautions while Practicing Yoga

Precautions while Practicing Yoga

Benefits of yoga are plenty. It helps you maintain good health and remain peaceful and out of stress always. You should take some precautions while you are practicing yoga. This is important so that you get good results and you are able to avoid negative aspects of yoga. It will help you avoid any further problem also. Read more to know about the precautions while practicing yoga.

Practicing yoga will bring a discipline in your life and make your life balanced, healthy and obviously happy too. There are logical reasons behind this. We lead a lifestyle that is hectic and without much do’s and don’ts start our day when we wake up and eat what we like throughout the day. There is no time for today’s busy people to think about health until they face some kind of problem.

You do not wait for any problem to come and knock your door so that you start practicing yoga, which will lead you towards a healthy lifestyle. If you have any misconceptions, here are some precautions that you can take before you start practicing yoga. However, one thing you should remember is that yoga is not a quick fix solution. You have to have patience and be consistent to get good results.

Precautions to be Taken while Practicing Yogic Exercises

  • Practice Yoga in the Right Way

    This is very important, as you have to maintain the rhythm of breathing and the movements of your body parts. If you do not do the exercise or the pranayama properly, it is possible you may get some negative results. So, take professional guidance before practicing yoga and gather knowledge and information from right and genuine sources.

  • Practice Yoga in the Presence of a Yoga Teacher –

    If you are a beginner, you should start practicing yoga either in the presence of a yoga teacher or join yoga class so that you learn the basics and the do’s and don’ts of yoga.

  • Yoga with Health Problems –

    Although there are pranayamas that help you get rid of blood pressure, blood sugar, asthma and many other health problems, it is advisable that if you have any serious medical problem and you are on medication, do not do exercise or quit medicines without the advice of a doctor or an expert.

  • Strenuous Yogic Exercises –

    You should practice only those yogic exercises that you are recommended and do not opt the strenuous ones if you are a beginner and of middle or old age.

  • Effects of Peace –

    When practicing yoga, it is advisable that the room should be extremely peaceful. If yoga is done in a quiet place, it has further positive effects on mind, body and soul. However, fresh air is very important.

  • Yoga in an Empty Stomach –

    It is recommended that yoga should be practiced in an empty stomach preferably early in the morning or in the evening as well.

  • Diet –

    You should keep a watch on your diet while practicing yoga and try to increase intake of vegetables and fruits. Drink at least 8 – 10 glasses of water no matter whether you practice yoga or not. Water is a great detoxifier and helps clean the body from inside.

  • Routine –

    Try to maintain routine and practice yoga regularly. This will have positive impact on your mind, body, and soul and help you improve your overall health.

Besides these tips, make sure you practice yoga on a clean mat and prefer the floor. Never do yoga exercises or pranayamas on sofa or bed. Once you start practicing regularly, you will find that gradually there are improvements in every walk of life. Try to practice meditation and get rid of the stress and strains in your life. As you go on practicing, you will find that your concentration and control on your breathing process is increasing. Remember, practice makes a man perfect.

So well said that yoga is not a quick fix solution. I completely agree with you. My aunt started practicing pranayama and she thought she would get rid of her diabetes and high blood pressure instantly just like she takes medicine. She only continued for a month and became irregular giving excuses. I found a bit change in many things and even her blood sugar level was normal but she found it very problematic and eventually stopped increasing all her problems.

One of my friends started yoga and she felt the pain increasing day by day. She neglected thinking that it is just because she is new with yoga and the exercise. But she had severe pain one day and had to consult her doctor. I agree with you and your points mentioned in the article. We should not perform yoga without proper and authentic guidance.

Your article is really helpful. In fact I always wanted to start yoga hearing and watching all about its benefits but feared that I may end up with more problems than solving those that I already have. I also feel very lazy to get up early in the morning. But perhaps yoga will help me get rid of this problem also. Thanks a lot for the information you shared.
