The fast-paced life and a whole lot of stress are driving people towards physical exercises to stay healthy and leave tension and stress at bay. However, for those who are just starting out on their journey to better their physical health, the issue of muscle soreness becomes a major problem in the beginning. Suddenly twisting and turning your body in various yoga poses will indeed lead to soreness or more accurately, DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness). It is painful no doubt, and makes it hard for you to move or stretch those muscles even while doing simple chores at home, isn\u2019t it?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n For chronic forms of pain and irritation, a range of options exists, ranging from a visit to a Chiropractor<\/a> to a consultation with a physiotherapist. But where do you turn when faced with the short-term, but often intense pain of DOMS?<\/span><\/p>\n Here are some suggestions.<\/span><\/p>\n You felt really great after a long session of yoga or workout, all confident with bouncy steps but suddenly the day after, your entire body feels sore. You are unable to move freely and now you are contemplating whether you overdid yesterday. That\u2019s normal but, sitting at home doing nothing will not relieve any of the pain. Instead, the first thing you should do is start stretching those sore muscles slowly. Sudden physical activity or a new fitness regime can cause muscle tear as a result of which, they remain contracted and doesn\u2019t relax. So, it\u2019s always beneficial when you do some stretching exercises to get some relief from the discomfort.

This way the muscles remain rejuvenated and you can continue with your yoga classes. <\/span><\/p>\n It is better to avoid heavy lifting and cardio exercises if you have a sore muscle. Those who have muscle soreness after a yoga session must be thinking what about us? Well, since yoga is more about stretching and contorting your body, you can continue with it the day after as well. Yoga along with warm-up exercises is also recommended to those who have muscle soreness because of intense workout activities. If you have been part of a <\/span>Yoga teacher training in Thailand<\/span><\/a> or any other place, you know that the soreness goes away to a considerable extent with the next day\u2019s yoga session.
