Creating your own yoga routine can be really fun and rewarding! But, I've learned some things to avoid while doing it. Here are some common mistakes to watch out for:
Skipping Warm-Ups: If you jump right into hard yoga poses without warming up, you might hurt yourself. Always start with some gentle stretches to help your body get ready.
Ignoring Your Body: Pay attention to what your body is telling you. If something feels too hard, it’s okay to make the pose easier or take a break.
Overloading the Routine: It’s tempting to include all your favorite poses in one session, but a shorter routine where you focus is usually better. Try to practice for about 30 to 60 minutes with good quality.
Neglecting Breath: Yoga is not just about movement; it’s also about breathing. If you forget to breathe deeply, your practice might not feel complete. Remember to be aware of your breath as you go along.
Skip Reflection: After you finish your practice, take a minute to think about how you feel. This helps you notice what you like or what needs changing in your routine over time.
These tips have helped me create a yoga practice that feels great for both my body and mind!
