If you are new to yoga, these seven tips will get you started on your path to a more centered life. Yoga is proven to relieve stress by using exercises that unify mind, body, and spirit.
1. Talk to your doctor and explain what type of yoga poses you intend to practice. Show your doctor pictures of the poses for illustration. Your doctor may rule out specific poses if you have high blood pressure, glaucoma, a history of retinal detachment, or heart disease. Make sure you follow your doctor's recommendations.
2. Make sure you join a yoga class that suits your abilities. Talk to prospective teachers, and decide if you can handle a program before you sign up. Take it slowly. Try a few beginner classes before you attempt more vigorous classes.
3. Listen to your body and be aware of your physical abilities. You don't want to hurt yourself. Make sure the instructor understands your level of experience and any limitations you may have. Don't allow anyone to push you ahead too quickly. Remember, this is supposed to be fun and relaxing.
4. If you can't find a class that meets your needs, you can always practice yoga at home. There are many books, programs, and tapes available to help you get started. Search for the best products on the Internet and read reviews. Talk to others for recommendations.
5. Why not try private lessons? You can book some one-on-one sessions with a teacher in your area. Most yoga instructors offer private classes or can help you design your program. This is a good way to get started. You can always take group lessons or practice at home after you've had private lessons and learned the basics.
6. Find a yoga buddy. It's nice to practice with someone and it will help reduce injuries. It's also a great way to keep up your enthusiasm and interest.
7. Eat lightly before practice. Wait at least two hours after eating before yoga class or practice. An empty stomach is best, but don't get so hungry that you can't focus on the poses or enjoy relaxing or meditating.
Now it's time to grab your mat and a towel and get the most out of your yoga exercises.
