Yoga Tips
Get the most from your yoga class
-
Listen to your body. You are in your body. The instructor
is a merely a guide.
-
Yoga feels good. Always remain aware of your body and its
limits. If a movement or posture is uncomfortable, you might
have gone too far. If you cannot comfortably get into a pose,
ask your instructor for assistance or use props.
-
Ask, Ask, Ask. If you have any questions or require
clarification – ask. If you are thinking it, someone else
probably is too. Be aware that in every pose there are
modifications and choices.
-
Practice at the appropriate level. Yoga will awaken muscles
you forgot that you had. It also requires a good deal of focus
and solid understanding of foundational postures.
-
Learn the basics first. Yoga is a practice, not a sport.
-
Try not to compare yourself to others. Turn your attention
inward. Try closing your eyes for more focus.
-
Personal attention. Yoga is a very individual experience.
A well-qualified instructor will be accessible to answer
questions and assist with your practice.
“Patience cannot be acquired overnight. It is just like building up muscle. Everyday you need to work on it.”
