Most common yoga mistakes you should avoid

Don't hold your breath, especially when you are trying to maintain the correct posture as it incorporates more stress and anxiety into your body

Avoid a heavy meal before Yoga. A light snack an hour or two before yoga session is preferable

Another mistake to avoid is locking joints in certain yoga poses. It’s best to keep a slight bend in your knees or elbows

Warming up is not something you can ignore in yoga. It helps prepare the body for the exercise. It maintains muscle coldness and stiffness

Our yoga mat needs regular cleaning to keep it smelling good and functioning properly. A dirty yoga mat, especially if used for hot yoga will eventually start to smell and become a distraction from your practice

Do yourself a huge favour leave your phone in your car, or if you're bringing it, then put it on silent because our smartphones are huge sources of distraction in our lives, which is the complete opposite goal of yoga

Another common yoga mistake people make is trying to fit their body to a pose rather than fitting the pose to their body. Just relax and focus on what your body absorbs
