Are you wondering how to start yoga? If you are starting yoga for the first time by adopting a healthy lifestyle, then you can experience peace internally and externally. However, before starting yoga, you need to create the right environment internally and externally. Also, it is necessary for a new yogi to know some things before starting a yoga practice, so that by doing yoga correctly, one can get effective benefits.
Empty your stomach and intestines
Yoga is not only a way to increase the human energy system. If you want to increase your energy, then whatever does not belong to the body should be thrown out of the body. Therefore, make sure to practice yoga in the morning before breakfast or dinner and after defecation. Similarly, food or water should not be consumed during yoga practice.
Take a bath
Bathing does not only mean cleaning the skin. When water comes in contact with your body, the person's inner being is also washed away. Always take a bath with cold or lukewarm water because it opens the pores between the skin cells and this is necessary for practicing yoga.
Wear loose and comfortable clothes
Yoga works on the energy system of a person. Wearing loose and comfortable clothes helps in this process. During yoga, when your energy starts spreading within the body, tight clothes become uncomfortable on the body. Therefore, before doing yoga, you should wear loose and comfortable clothes.
Consumption of neem and turmeric
Before practicing yoga, you can consume neem and turmeric mixed with a little honey in lukewarm water. Water with honey cleans the body from inside and enables it to absorb energy. When you sit for meditation, it is effective in making the muscles flexible.
Warm-up
Yoga is a method of exercise and the body temperature increases while doing any exercise. Therefore, to keep the body temperature equal and to gain flexibility, warm up before practicing yoga. Warming up does not cause the problem of stretching of the skin.
