PREPARATION BEFORE ASANAS (posture)
There are certain medical condition , which make it inadvisable to do the inverted postures (headstand, shoulder stand and reverse postures). These are high blood pressure, dizziness and serious eye problems. If you have any doubt, consult your doctor before you start the asanas(posture) .
The first two weeks
In some cases you may feel worse for up to two weeks after starting the asanas. This is because the yoga exercises cause the body to eliminate toxins, which spend some time in the blood before being eliminated. After this initial period of body cleaning, you will start to feel much better. The more toxins you have, worse you will fell in the beginning .
Some of the symptoms you may experience are a slight increase in your usual aches and pains and a little stiffness. Your Body may become slightly bloated and you may feel a bit drowsy during the day. You may feel sore in the back, neck, and shoulder muscles for a couple of weeks. To minimize any soreness, start gently and don’t over do it. Above all, all never give up. Any discomfort will only be temporary and you will start to feel much better in a relatively short time.
When to do the asanas(posture).
It’s best to do the asanas in the early morning or the early evening before the evening meal. Never exercise on a full stomach. Before exercising, wait at least three hours after eating a main meal, about one hour after eating a light snack such as a piece of fruit and about half and hour after drinking juices. After finishing the asanas, wait about a quarter of an hour before eating.
The best time to do the yoga postures is about one hour after getting up or in the early evening. Wait about 15 minutes before eating. Don’t exercise immediately after getting out of bed, since you’ll be too stiff. Wait at least one hour. It’s not advisable to do the asanas before bed, since their stimulating effect may prevent you from getting to sleep easily.
Don’t take hot shower or bath immediately after yoga, since this draws blood away from the internal organs and glands to go to the skin. A shower which is just warm is all right, since this is neutral and will not affect the yoga exercises.
Where to do the asanas(posture) and what to wear…
Make sure you have good ventilation in the room where you exercise. Use a thick rug or about an inch thick firm foam. Don’t do them on the bed since it’s too soft or on the floor without some padding, since that would be too hard.
Wear loose clothing, since tight clothes will restrict the circulation to some areas of the body. This would defeat one of the purposes of the asanas that of increasing the circulation to various parts of the body.
