How To Practice Yoga Without Bruises And Tensile

Most Yoga followers believe that it enhances the health, cures diseases, harmonizes the body, thought and soul. Is yoga indeed so useful?

The health and strengthening effects of Yoga gymnastics have serious scientific confirmation. However, if your practice is taking place under the guidance of an experienced instructor, it is unlikely for you to harm yourself. Nevertheless, before the lessons, it is recommended to consult a doctor, especially if you already have a chronic illness.

Some types of yoga still bear albeit small, but dangerous harm to the health. For example, the hot room (Bikram-Yoga) is contraindicated to people with cardiovascular diseases. Meditation and concentration of consciousness is prohibited to those who have epilepsy or schizophrenia.

Meditative practices should not be abused to help withdraw pain. There was was a case where the patient, taking away the tooth pain through meditation, anesthetized himself to a suppurated jaw inflammation. He had to undergo some more surgeries.

But more often Yoga carries a danger to those who starts to learn it by their own from books, the quality of which, at times, leaves much to be desired. And the most common injury, strangely enough, is bruise. When practicing out some asanas, people easily lose their balance and fall down.

Second on the frequency of injury is damaged linkages. In trying to sit in lotus positions or other asanas requiring flexibility, we can not strangle or tighten much our legs.

Except the Yoga beginners, a large group of harmed persons are people who were once engaged in Yoga, then gave up on it, and once again decided to return practicing it. In attempts to reach faster the previous results, they disregard the pain - first danger signal of the body.

But one of the rules of Yoga is the softness, comfort and consistency in the performance of asanas. If you felt in any occupation unpleasant sensations in the body, stop and wait though this state. And do not hope that you will grasp Yoga quickly, cheeky and through "can not" - there is no benefit from it.

Before starting the Yoga classes, it is necessarily to perform a warm up and stretch. If for any asana practice is required increased flexibility and muscle strength, it is better to start doing it with some insurance (an assistant person, a chair, the wall, etc.). And always listen to your body, not breaking, but adapting to it.
