-
Be kind to yourself
when you practice yoga. Go slowly, especially in the beginning,
and listen to your body. It knows what it can do. If it
says "stop," stop. Don't push it hard. If you push too
hard, you probably won't enjoy it, and you may hurt yourself. If
you practice regularly, you will improve. And you will feel
better.
-
You
should never get out of breath, feel tired or feel as if you are
straining yourself, when practising Yoga Asanas or
Pranayama.
-
Do not
practice asanas between 12 noon and 1 p.m. The sun is at its
zenith and the body may get easily over heated. You should stop
doing asanas at 12 noon. Pranayama, however, can be practised
between 12 noon and 1 p.m.
-
Pranayama
can be practised a maximum of four times a day: at sunrise,
noon, sunset and at midnight. Yet, once a day, or whenever you
have time, is fine.
-
You
should keep cool and never over-do yourself, especially if you
are over 40 years of age.
-
Do not
practice yoga in the wind of an electric fan, or in an
air-conditioned room. You can easily catch a cold.
-
Do not
shower, bathe or immerse the body in water, right after
practising yoga asanas or pranayama. You may catch
pneumonia.
-
You
should wait at least 45 minutes. If you feel uncomfortably hot
and sticky, you can wipe the body with a damp cloth.
-
Entre are
being over-worked by the abnormal flow of the breath (or prana),
which moves in a particular centre for a longer than normal
period of time.
