YOGA – DO’s & DON’Ts FOR YOGA PRACTICE

Common requirements, hints & cautions for the practice of Yogasanas

  • The qualities required for an aspirant are discipline, faith and perseverance to practice regularly without interruptions. Regular practice is highly recommended.
  • The place for practicing āsanas must be clean and peaceful.
  • Āsanas should preferably be practiced on an empty stomach. Allow at least four hours after a heavy meal, but one can practice āsanas without any discomfort one hour after a very light meal.
  • Never attempt advanced āsanas without having first evacuated the bowels and bladder.
  • Food may be taken half an hour after completing the āsanas.
  • No undue strain should be felt in the facial muscles, ears, and eyes or in breathing during the practice.
  • Breathing should be done through the nose only but not with the mouth. Do not restrain your breath when you are in the āsana or while holding the posture.
  • No jerks should be given to the body while doing āsanas and never force yourself in any asana.
  • Women should not practice during periods for 3-5 days.
  • Every Saturday, we will be practicing Surya Namaskars, please drink more water on Fridays and Saturdays as they generate more body heat.
  • Please inform the instructor if you have any physical ailments.
