I don't want to "practice" stall my airplane anywhere between 6" and 500 feet AGL, it's not worth the damage.  Maybe higher would be OK but it's those low ones that have undesirable consequences.
 
Ergo, using my little experience, feelings of control mush at certain speeds/loadings and watching the AOA cheverons go red has helped me avoid the big thud.
 
An AOA indicator is a great visual aid to insensitive clods such as myself (just ask my wife about insensitivity, not about the AOA).
 
May the force be with you (in case the flame suit can't prevent the occasional singe).  
 
Opinions Vary.
