If you are planning to start practicing yoga for the first time, try to follow the advice of your teachers and friends who are already doing yoga. Here are some yoga tips for beginners that can be very effective. Find a qualified and experienced teacher
For beginners, it is necessary to look for a qualified and experienced teacher, who knows well how to breathe and perform all yoga postures.
You should learn through a teacher’s styles and postures instead of watching videos. Physical interaction with teachers at the beginning builds more trust.
Be positive in your first class
You are doing yoga for the first time and no doubt your teacher will guide you again and again to correct postures and movements. Follow your instructor’s instructions and have patience and consistency in your practice.
Don’t compare
You may be the only person in the class who attends their first yoga session. Others may be experienced. There is no need to compare your yoga practice to theirs, as they already know how to breathe, move, and bend. Learn by simply focusing on yourself, paying attention to your breath, and listening to your body. Enjoy the class and don’t worry about anything else!
Don’t overload your body
As you are new to the practice of yoga, ask your teacher to advise you simple postures without contraindications. Start with small stretches and push-ups that don’t affect your knees and ankles. There are few poses that are not recommended for beginners so do not try to start your yoga practice with one of those. Keep in mind that some postures are contraindicated for certain pathologies, be prudent and respect your body. Practice yoga in a healthy way, strengthening your body and mind.
Healthy breathing
A very important part of yoga practice is breathing. Pay attention in each posture to inspiration and expiration. Be aware of every breath: a calm breath, it is a calm mind. Breathe and feel the energy!
