The first two days after I did yoga, I experienced soreness all over my body and felt very uncomfortable. What should I do about full-body soreness after doing yoga?

It is usually normal to experience whole-body soreness after practicing yoga, and this can be relieved by resting. If the soreness does not improve with rest, it may be due to excessive muscle strain. When the body aches are severe, medications such as diclofenac sodium sustained-release capsules or Yunnan Baiyao aerosol can be used under a doctor's guidance to alleviate symptoms.
