Basic rules of Asana Practice should you know before begin practicing asana
Basic Considerations
• Bathing before practice helps avoid risks of slipping by removing any oils from the hands and feet, and increases blood circulation. Bathing about 20 minutes both before and after practice refreshes the body and mind. It is better to take a quick, cold shower after practice.
• The best time for asana practice is auspicious dawn (an hour before and an hour after sunrise) or late in the evening (between an hour before and an hour after sunset) to help energize the body and mind for the day, or calm down and prepare for rest.
• Practice should be done in a clean place with good air circulation, free from insects, and noise.
• Wear comfortable, moisture wicking (sweat absorbing) clothes that allow your body to move freely for practicing yoga.
• Do not practice asana on a bare floor. Always use a folded blanket/ yoga mat/thick bed sheet for yoga practice.
• Before you start asanas/pranayama/ meditation, clear your nostrils and throat of all mucus.
• If you are new to the practice, do so under the supervision of an experienced teacher to learn how to do the poses safely and effectively.
• Asan names - Classical yogic books give a relatively concise list of traditional poses. We now have thousands of poses from different modern gurus, so many poses have multiple names in either Sanskrit or English. We benefit from doing the poses, and not from the names, so we should not worry or focus too much on know.
