      What should you pay attention to when practicing yoga in winter?

      1. The temperature is lower in winter, and the amount of perspiration when practicing yoga will be greatly reduced. If you want to perspire a lot, you must strengthen the warm-up process in the early stage. Although you don't have to sweat when you warm up, the rise in body temperature after warming up can make the joints and muscles of the body move. In this way, you won't feel that many movements are hard when it's cold.

      ①Take a hot bath before starting to accelerate blood flow in the body and achieve a warming effect.

      ②Drink a glass of warm water to warm your body.

      ③Do some exercises to move the joints, including toes, ankles, knees, hip joints, fingers, wrists, elbows, shoulders, neck, etc. Wait until the joints of the body are slightly warm and fully stretched before starting to practice asanas.

      2. When practicing, you need to maintain a quiet indoor environment and pay attention to air circulation to avoid hypoxia.

      3. If the teaching action in the CD is too fast, please give up. You should feel happy after practicing yoga. If you feel tired and painful, please stop immediately. Don't force yourself to practice yoga. You don't necessarily have to do it on time and in the right amount every day. You will get twice the result with half the effort if you feel good about your mood, your body, and when you have free time.

      4. The location can be on the bed or underground, but be sure to keep warm and do not practice on a bed that is too soft. Prepare a yoga mat. It is best to have professional yoga clothes. Pajamas are also acceptable, as long as they are loose and comfortable. Practice with bare feet.

      5. When warming up in cold weather, it is best to use large movements and repeat large muscle movements. For example, standing and doing leg muscle training movements will warm up the body faster.

      6. When practicing breathing techniques, you can wrap a blanket or shawl around your body to keep warm. Practicing breathing techniques can calm your mind and focus, but it will also lower your body temperature.

      7. You can study along with the CD, but don’t practice while watching. You should practice after watching. Because practicing yoga requires concentration, if you watch and do it at the same time, your energy will be scattered and you will not achieve the ultimate goal of practicing yoga.

      9. In winter, breathing should be coordinated with movements and done more deeply. Inhale to the bottom of the lung cavity, the diaphragm protrudes outward, and make a hissing sound, or abdominal breathing, inhale into the abdominal cavity, and the abdomen protrudes.

      10. When staying in a certain posture, don't just stay in place, but continue to lengthen or twist it to make the posture deeper.

      11. Sweat opens pores and makes it easy to catch cold, so when resting, remember to keep warm.

      12. Generally speaking, breathing through the left and right nostrils and exhaling quickly can make the body slightly warm and are more suitable for practice in winter.

      ①Left and right nostril breathing

      The left and right breathing method is to use the thumb and ring finger of the right hand to press and release the two nostrils in turn. When exhaling, press your left nostril with your ring finger and inhale through your right nostril. Inhale through your right nostril while maintaining the same posture. When exhaling, switch sides, hold the right nostril with your thumb, and release the left nostril at the same time. Maintain the same position while inhaling. Exhale and do it on the other side. Take turns inhaling and exhaling through both nostrils in this way for five to ten minutes.

      ②rapid exhalation breathing technique

      After taking a deep breath, hold your left nostril with your ring finger and exhale quickly from the right nostril 20 times. After spitting out, take a deep breath through the right nostril, switch to pressing the right nostril with your thumb, and exhale quickly from the left side 20 times. Finally, let go of both nostrils, inhale from both sides at the same time, and then exhale quickly through both nostrils for 20 times. After finishing, adjust your breath for a while, then do two rounds for one round. You can practice for three rounds each time.
