Basic Tips of Yoga for the Beginners
Yoga is an ancient practice of integrating the body, breath, and mind. In yoga, the body is addressed by practicing physical postures (also called asanas). These stimulate and balance all the systems of the body: musculoskeletal, nervous system, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, endocrine, reproductive and urogenital. As we now know, the whole system is affected when something is out of balance, as a number of postures are practiced in a sequence to address the whole body.
There are many different styles and ways to practice yoga. Try gentle yoga to start with. When you are practicing a posture, do what you can without creating more pain. Depending on what parts of your body are affected and your physical abilities, your practice will be specific to you. You may not be able to safely or comfortably do the posture the way the trainer or someone else is doing it. That's okay. Modify or change the position so it feels good for you. You will find out what works for you, what you are able to do, and what helps you to move in a positive direction.
An important aspect of yoga is the integration of the breath with the movement or posture. Breathing practices (also called pranayama) are also done for the benefit of improving efficient movement and lung capacity, as well as promoting calm and relaxation.
Remember to start slowly, and create a practice that is comfortable as well as challenging enough to keep you progressing toward a healthier, happier life.
