I've been enjoying and learning yoga for quite a while now. My body has become limber and my mind has become clear. It has been a sheer joy to discover the wonderful benefits of meditation and yoga. If you're getting started with Yoga, it can be challenging to find the desire to keep doing it. Here's a few helpful tips to make your beginning experiences with yoga a pleasure.
If you've begun practicing yoga or have only done it a few times, but cant find the motivation to keep going, these helpful tips might bring you that feel-good feeling that motivates you to keep coming back for more. Yoga is such a great practice and I guarantee that if you keep with it and do it a minimum of once a week, within a month you'll feel more energetic, happier, and your mind will be crystal clear. Once you get over the initial hurdles, you'll start to feel the true benefits of a limber and flexible body and the feeling of a clear mind.
Straps help your to get started A Yoga Strap really helps you stretch further by providing extra reach where a beginner would normally not have any. Get a strap and it will quickly help you stretch to those toes! Before long you wont need it anymore.
Focus on your breath Being conscious about your breathing during your yoga practice is critical to a good practice. By focusing on your breath, your mind stays focused instead of wondering off to other things. Use your deep breath to help you stretch deeper into your poses. Breathing in should pull you back, as you breath out, slowly bend or twist deeper into your pose.
Clear your mind During the end of your stretches, spend lots of time relaxing your body and free your mind. Doing this will give you the biggest rewards. Focus on thinking about nothing and just observe the benefits that you're feeling from the stretches you just did. I guarantee you that doing this for at least 15 minutes will leave you feeling better than ever.
Protect your joints with a thick matIf you get an extra thick yoga mat, you'll have a lot more support and padding for any stretches that are joint intensive...if you sweat a lot, there are several mats out there that are skidless and have good traction so that you don't slip.
I hope this helps inspire you to start or continue with yoga. I promise you that if you stick with it, you'll feel better and clearer than ever before! - 30453
