An important rule in yoga - during the lesson, all attention should be directed inward, to your own sensations in the body. Remember, gradually your body will get used to the asanas and become supple and sensitive.
Step 4
Starting to practice yoga, it is better to immediately learn from the teacher the methods of cleansing the body. In yogic practice, in addition to the well-known to many ways of self-care, there are also specific ones: for the eyes, tongue, nose, intestines, liver, etc. It is good if you gradually master all of them.

And if your own body is not helped, then the release of toxins can be very painful. The combination of yogic practices and cleansing will quickly bring your body to a healthy state. And further in-depth study of yoga will help to improve your body further.
