Beginning Yoga

Here we will learn a little about beginning yoga. Yoga for Beginners is a first step to better health and more weightloss. Most people have heard of yoga, but are not aware of its wonderful benefits.

What is Yoga?

Yoga is made up of deep breathing an stretching. It can improve strength, flexibility, and relieve stress. 

How do you start Yoga?

First, you must decide what type of yoga you want to do.  This could appear a daunting task. There are about 40 of yoga to choose from.  Each yoga has its own pros and cons.  The one that is best for you will depend on your physical fitness level, what you want to accomplish, and personal preferences.  If you plan to take Yoga classes, check to see what types are available in your area before you begin. A qualified instructor may be a  better choice than any book or video...if you want to master technique.

One thing you may be uncomfortable with, is the "touching" side of Yoga.  Your Yoga instructor may move you around if you are posing incorrectly, or massage you for further relaxation.  If this is a big problem for you, then Yoga books and videos may work better for you.

If you decide on a Yoga class, you should be well prepared.  Wear loose clothing that you can move around in comfortably. Bring water and a bag with a change of clothes...you may work up a sweat.

Most important...Enjoy yourself when you do Yoga!
