Add a teacher wechat to watch the teacher’s circle of friends ~ there can be a lot of “things” happening in a yoga class – concentration, breathing, bending back, twisting, or handstand, which require full physical and mental participation.
Students should pay attention to the following 19 common problems in yoga class.
Don’t rush to solve them all at once, write down these details, and then constantly improve their practice.
1.
Being late in class and giving yourself enough time to prepare for class can make you have a calm and relaxed state of mind.
It is best to enter the classroom 5-15 minutes in advance, and you can also get familiar with the students practicing around you.
If you are late, it is best to wait until the end of the opening recitation or meditation meditation before entering the classroom.
Don’t bring too many things.
Choose a place near the door and quietly open the yoga mat.
2.
Rush to class and prepare yourself enough time to go to class.
If you are in a hurry, you will easily forget some things you need, and it is difficult to enter the calm experience in class.
3.
When you wear inappropriate clothes to practice upper class yoga or astonga, you can choose a little tight with support.
During hot yoga classes, you need cloth that absorbs sweat and drains moisture.
Light classes, loose clothes are better.
If you are not sure what kind of yoga clothes to wear to class, ask the front desk.
4.
Smelly come to the classroom.
There is a very important doctrine in yoga practice, “sauca”, which means clean and clean.
Not only pay attention to personal hygiene, using too strong perfume and leaving a bad taste will affect your practice with surrounding students.
5.
Unclean yoga mat yoga mat needs regular cleaning to keep it free of odor and normal use function.
Especially when used in yoga classes with more sweating, such as hot yoga, the yoga mat will always start to produce peculiar smell, and it is not safe enough, because it will no longer slip without scrubbing for a long time, which will make you lose your balance on the mat and slip and get injured.
6.
Refuse to use assistive devices.
It is easy to regard the use of yoga bricks, yoga belts, blankets or pillows as signs of weakness.
In fact, these AIDS will deepen your practice.
Put oneortwo kinds of assistive devices next to the yoga mat, so that you have a full preparation before class.
Many teachers have added assistive devices to their classes.
If you find some assistive devices beside the teacher when you enter the classroom, you should also get the same assistive devices.
7.
Use a yoga mat with poor function.
A yoga mat with poor function may make you slip during practice, or one of the corners is squeezed together, or you can’t stay stable.
Yoga mats with these problems will definitely distract you.
They can’t let you practice a complete asana and may cause pain.
Choose a good yoga mat, and try to choose a non slip yoga mat that can protect your knees and wrists from sweat.
8.
Coming to class with too much food and liquid in your stomach is very uncomfortable, which will hinder your practice, and you can’t do some asanas.
But it’s not good to come to class hungry.
Just have a snack 1-2 hours before class.
9.
Don’t bring your mobile phone into the classroom.
Even silence / vibration will distract yourself and others around you.
10.
Hold your breath during practice.
Many asanas have a certain breathing count.
Don’t hold your breath in order to keep up with the teacher’s rhythm.
Increase the amount of breathing when necessary, and allow yourself to breathe easily and completely at any time.
If you find yourself panting and breathing with your mouth, please slow down and adjust your breathing first.
11.
Compare with others.
Comparing with others will not only distract you from practice, but also hurt yourself due to too much practice.
If you find yourself starting to have such a comparative thought, remind yourself that everyone’s body is different from birth, and we are all on our own path of yoga.
12.
Let your eyes float around the “dristhi” gaze point is a continuous yoga practice of “focused eyes”.
If you find yourself “scanning” the whole classroom with your eyes from time to time, you are “feeding” your mind with lax attention.
Try to keep your eyes focused.
Doing so will keep you in the present moment and have a sense of balance and concentration.
13.
Too perfectionist.
Yoga is balance.
If you try too hard to perfect yourself in asana, then this is the ego doing mischief and easy to get injured.
On the contrary, without a little effort, you can bring a little progress to physical and mental practice.
Try to be balanced in each pose, and then bring your attention to breathing, and then maintain the current state.
14.
Don’t ask for help.
If you feel difficult or struggling in asana, ask the teacher for help, or a simple variant of asana.
If the teacher says some passwords that make you feel confused or unclear, you can ask the teacher to explain again after class.
15.
Forcing yourself to reach a pose “no pain, no gain” is not applicable to yoga.
The “harvest” in yoga practice comes very slowly.
Don’t force yourself to enter the complete version of difficult asanas before you are ready.
16.
When you don’t use the abdominal core or banded method to practice the posture, you can start the core muscle group and protect the waist by retracting the belly button downward and close to the waist backward.
After being stable and comfortable in this movement, try to lock your heel lock and abdominal lock.
17.
Forgetting smile yoga practice can be challenging and requires enough attention, but taking yourself too seriously is counterproductive.
Being too serious and serious will produce unnecessary tension, stiffness and depression, which will drag you down from peaceful practice..
