The main reason for  this is that full stomach interferes with the postures and your  breathing by restricting the space in the abdomen. Also, you want to  avoid embarrassment by passing gas in a class so keep in mind, some  high-fibre foods such as beans, broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage may  cause more <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thatsfit.ca\/search\/?q=gas\">gas<\/a> than other  types of food.<\/p>\n<p>\n2. <strong>Do Wear Appropriate Clothing<\/strong> You need clothes that  give you room to move and provide space for your body to breathe. And  ladies, beware of low-cut tops, particularly when practicing in a quick,  moving class. I can tell you from personal experience that breasts will  threaten to pop out in certain poses when not properly clothed (that  exact situation ruined a class for me as my thoughts were on my breasts  instead of my breath.) And gentlemen, if you&#8217;re going to wear small,  loose shorts, please wear fitted underwear, it can be very distracting  for teacher and students alike when your stuff is hanging out. There are  shorts available with built-in underwear that will remedy this  situation.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thatsfit.ca\/2010\/04\/29\/10-yoga-class-dos-and-donts\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Continue reading <em>10 Yoga Class Dos and Don&#8217;ts<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;\">\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thatsfit.ca\/2010\/04\/29\/10-yoga-class-dos-and-donts\/\" rel=\"bookmark\" title=\"Permanent link to this entry\">Permalink<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thatsfit.ca\/forward\/19455901\/\" title=\"Send this entry to a friend via email\">Email this<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thatsfit.ca\/2010\/04\/29\/10-yoga-class-dos-and-donts\/#comments\" title=\"View reader comments on this entry\">Comments<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Filed under: Advice, Happiness, Health, Fit Yoga As both a yoga practitioner and a yoga teacher, I have learned a few essential things along the way about how one can prepare to ensure their yoga class, and that of their fellow yogis, is enjoyable.
