21st June is celebrated as International Yoga day. Most people are aware of Yoga and its asanas and they do it on a regular basis. But there are certain rules that need to be followed while doing it. If these rules are not followed then, not only the Yoga asanas will be of no use to you but could also hurt you.
Let’s have a look at a few of these rules.
| Do this | Not this | |
| 1 | Dawn is the best time for Yoga practice. | Don’t do Yoga in the evening if you have eaten something. Yoga should be avoided at night. |
| 2 | Yoga should be done on an empty stomach. | Don’t drink cold water during Yoga practice. It could give you a cold & fever. |
| 3 | Yoga practice should be done in an open environment. A terrace or garden are great options. | Don’t do Yoga practice in a closed room with AC. |
| 4 | Wear loose and comfortable clothes | Refrain wearing Belt, necktie, tight pants and watch. |
| 5 | Yoga should always be done in a peaceful environment. | Watching Tv or phone while doing Yoga is not advisable. |
| 6 | Breathing is very important in Yoga. Make sure you are breathing properly. | Avoid doing Yoga if you are sick or have any body ache. |
| 7 | After doing Yoga, going for Urination is a good thing to do. | Don’t hold urine, sneeze, cough, burp or fart. Yoga helps in removing toxins, so holding any of these is not good. |
| 8 | If you have difficulty in any asana, then ask someone who has proper knowledge. | Don’t follow influencers. Don’t do or follow anything you learn online (including this). ALWAYS QUESTION |
| 9 | Yoga should always be done patiently. Remember it’s not a race. | Avoid following the speed yoga of some Baba. Speed yoga is foolish and it will hurt you. |
If you are new to this, then practice Yoga under proper guidance. You may not get the instant results but you will notice some good changes in you soon.
In the comments let me know if you practice any form of Yoga. Also, let me know your favourite Asana.
I am also interested in collaboration and guest blogs. Connect with me on social media and maybe we could make a blog together.
STAY HEALTHY

Very nice write up..
Happy Yoga Day.
Happy Yoga day
Do you agree with these things?
Yes dear..
I love point 9. When I began yoga 20 years ago, my first teacher would go so fast snd it was difficult to keep up!
Speed yoga is ludicrous.
I mean, speed yoga is dangerous and it ruins the meaning of yoga.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment.
Happy international Yoga day ! Excellent blog on yoga I do few asana ! Well shared 🙂
Great!!
Thanks for commenting
😊
Very good advice! I’m not a fan of Yoga, personally but it seems to help a lot of people.
Thanks for the comment
Happy yoga day!
I am not a yoga person, actually.
But all these points would be really helpful, if i’ll do it in future🙂, thanks for sharing.
Cool!
Thanks for the comment.
Thank you for another very useful post, Devang. Before I had my disability, I used to practice yoga regularly. I think my favourite asana was the Plank. I used to be really fit back then. I’d love to be able to take up yoga (or Pilates) again, but I have to be super careful because of the damage to my spine. All the tips you mentioned would be really helpful, too. Hope you’re having a good day, my friend 😊.
I will try to find workout which you can do with ease. Thank you so much.
I hope you are doing well. Keep smiling
I’m well, thank you, Devang. I would appreciate you looking into that for me. Take care.
I think we should make a blog together about this. Your input can help me a lot. It will help specially abled people 😃
I will do my best, Devang, although I would be worried about giving people advice when their condition or disability is very different from mine. If you want to email me with any suggestions about this, I will certainly read them and consider them carefully. I’m very touched that you have asked me. You have my email address, I think, don’t you? Looking forward to hearing from you again. Take good care of yourself 😊
I’ve mailed you twice.
You have mailed me once. ☺️
Hi Devang. I’ve just seen your comment two hours ago and checked my mailbox, but I don’t seem to have an email from you. It’s not in Spam either 🤔. Did you email me today, or were you referring to the last time you got in touch? If you are having problems reaching me, please email me at ellie.thompsonwp@yahoo.com. Many thanks. Ellie
I was referring to the last time I mailed you. I will mail you again ☺️
Thanks, Devang. Look forward to hearing from you again 🌞.
Happy Yoga Day! It’s one of the best ways to calm your soul, broaden your mind and stay connected to earth.
I agree, my blogs are best way to calm the soul and broaden the mind and helps in getting connected with the earth. 🤭
Yes they are!! 😀
That’s a good reminder, thank you
Thanks 😃
Happy International Yoga Day. These are all wonderful reminders that I’ll be keeping in mind.

Great post about yoga.. I think it is So difficult for mothers to do yoga.. I can make meditation for only 5 minutes.. It helps to make our mind clear..
Keep giving Devang dear friend.. 🌹
Yes definitely difficult for mothers, with so many responsibilities.
Can you find time for it in the morning?
No..
Wish you a great day Devang 🌷

Thanks a lot Devang dear friend.. Highly appreciated 🌹😊
I just started doing yoga earlier this year and I like it so much better a traditional face paced workout. Good info here, although, I am guilty of doing yoga at night sometimes.
Yoga at night helps in a good sleep.
I won’t suggest a complete session.
But, certain Asanas are very helpful.
Let me know about your session. It would help me craft a blog.
Or maybe, we can write a blog together.
Sure, I can provide a beginner’s perspective though if that’s okay. (I’m nowhere near a master, haha)
not a master** I meant lol
That’s great actually!
Your knowledge can guide many people.
Let me know how we can work on this together in future.
Great info. Thank you for sharing 🙂 I will keep these points in mind whenever next I get fortunate enough to practice yoga.
Thank you so much for commenting 🙂
