3. Misunderstanding of yoga practice
3.1. Only those with a soft body are suitable for practicing yoga. Only those with a soft body are suitable for practicing yoga. This is the misunderstanding of most people about yoga. Yoga emphasizes moderation and does not pursue the range of action completion. As long as the practitioner does his best, he can get ideal results.
3.2. Yoga is stretching. Yoga is the combination of mind and breath to complete postures. It is the combination of movement and static. It’s not simply stretching. Yoga does not require the flexibility of the body like dance and acrobatics, but stresses the balance of ability. It uses breathing to drive the body to move. The deeper the breathing, the more the body stretches. Internal breathing helps you open up your flexibility. This is more about the softness of feeling than the softness of limbs.
3.3. The practice of posture is the most important. Many people only care about whether their posture is beautiful, and do not pay attention to the coordination of movements and breathing and meditation. Yoga is both internal and external cultivation of body and mind. Yoga posture is only a part of yoga, and meditation and breathing are the most important. When the mind is calm and healthy, the body will be healthier.

Precautions for practicing yoga
1. Don’t do yoga on an empty stomach
Doing yoga after meals will hinder the progress of yoga practice. In order to allow the body to bend to the specified yoga posture, it is better to do it on an empty stomach.
The good thing is to finish eating an hour before yoga, but if you are too hungry to eat an hour before yoga, you can eat a banana 20 minutes before yoga, which can resist hunger without indigestion.
2. Find a suitable Yoga for yourself
There are many kinds of yoga, and not every kind of yoga is suitable for you. Each yoga studio provides certain free experience courses. You can experience it before making a decision.
3. Don’t pursue the extreme
You may have seen that some people can twist themselves like fried dough twist when they practice yoga. But this is only what yogis do, although it works well. But I don’t recommend you to practice like this.
Even if you are born stiff, your body will become flexible through practice. In addition, you should know that yoga is not only about posing, but also about adjusting your breathing and relaxing your mood.
