Tips to Avoid Yoga Injuries
Body injuries are so familiar
especially when you begin Yoga for the first time. Usually, after a Yoga
session, your back, wrists, or legs might hurt for several days. Therefore, to
avoid body injuries in Yoga, it is recommended to warm up your body before
doing any yoga pose. You can warm up your body by taking a walk. While you
walk, you can swing your arms back and forth.
Also, you can rotate
your wrists slowly while you walk. If the pain is unbearable, you can wear wrist
supports. Do neck and shoulder exercises if you tend to have neck and shoulder
pain after doing yoga. If you have blankets, blocks, or cushions use them to
support your lower back. If your ankles tend to get cold, you can use leg
warmers to warm up the lower portion of the legs.
Leg warmers can be handmade
or purchased anywhere online. Wear knee pads before bending your knees for
certain yoga poses. Know your limits to stretching your legs and arms. Make
sure you always use a yoga mat, a sturdy chair, and the proper equipment for
doing yoga poses. Below are links about avoiding yoga injuries.
