As a type of exercise and fitness (and yes, as a means to assist you in losing weight), yoga is by all means, something to be considered. If you have been pondering learning yoga or have recently begun yoga practice, I hope to provide you with some useful and helpful tips for yoga beginners.
Even though I?m more in to power lifting (probably because I was raised on a farm. Honest!), I do practice basic yoga because it keeps the muscles supple and I achieve more overall flexibility and agility. That being said, what follows can help you gain or add to your knowledge of yoga.
There are three basic yoga poses you will need to learn and master:
Sun Salutations pose: This is the core of yoga. This exercise combines breathing, sun bathing and prayer. It?s a blend of poses; 12 to be exact, and are performed in a synchronized motion with the emphasis on rhythmic breathing. Mildly exercising the arms and legs, they are commonly recommended for obesity, depression and fitness. For beginners, this will be a definite must know. Think of it as the warm up part of your routine.
The Shoulder Stand pose: Don?t be scared by the name. This pose is easy even for a beginner. It?s a very important pose and arguably, the most important. The Sanskrit name (Savangasana) means the ?all members? or ?all limbs? pose; meaning, it has an impact on all parts of the body. Some poses, such as the Shoulder Stand, do have distinctive counter poses. As a beginner, be certain you are taught these poses to counteract and balance the effects of the Shoulder stand. The counteract poses are the bridge and fish poses. Here?s a hint of the ratio you should strive for in their combined delivery: 6:1:2. This just means that the bridge and fish poses should be held for a sixth and third of the time respectively that you spend in the shoulder stand pose.
The Corpse pose: As the pose connotes by its name, it is done in a prone position. This is a relaxation method pose which is normally undertaken somewhere within and after your routine. It is a process of relaxing the muscles used for your yoga exercises. The most difficult element of this pose, is concentration. Through concentration, you are training your mind to relax your body.
The above poses, are the three main ones you really should learn to perfect. Additionally, there are other poses that should be included as you progress. Each one of these add-on pose groups have several variations on the three root poses. Here?s a little secret . Do at least 24 repetitions of Sun Salutations and the ease in executing additional poses will come almost naturally. Trust me.
One other factor that I must emphasize, is that if you follow a healthy eating plan, you will not only gain strength, but it will speed the process of weight loss (if that is indeed, one of your goals).
While yoga for beginners may best be learned from an instructor, your own systematic approach and practice will determine your mastery. There are tons of books, television broadcasts, local classes and DVD?s available.
Trying Yoga is fun, stimulating and remarkably rewarding for lots of reasons that may have you researching it. Choosing yoga will go a long way into making for a fitter and healthier you.
