If you wish to get started with some yoga at home for beginners then there is first a few things which you need to bear in mind in order for you to get the most out of this experience. When done right, yoga can provide you with a fun way to exercise that will leave you feel fit, fresh and flexible. When done wrongly however yoga, much like any exercise that you may wish to embark upon, can be risky and it can leave you with injuries or soreness, and that isn’t going to encourage you to keep it up.
With this in mind then, here are some things to consider when you decide to have a go at yoga at home.
Follow a Pro
There are loads of still pictures which you can get that will show how each pose should be, but in order to get this just right as a beginner it is a much better idea to follow a video of a pro who can talk you through this. The difference between a great position and a bad position is critical to making sure that you get the most out of yoga, and that is why following the pros, at least for now, will be the best way to get started.
Beginner Beginner
Unfortunately there are a great number of people online who have be doing yoga so long that they have absolutely no concept of what a true beginner looks like. When you get started you will get frustrated, you will find that you cannot do certain poses and you will feel like giving up and doing something else. For this reason you need a yoga video which talks to you from a point of empathy and who will take you forward with baby steps that will eventually give you the confidence to really take this seriously.
Warming Up
Warming up is absolutely critical when you get started with yoga at home, and this is because you need to make sure that those muscles are supple enough to stretch out. The entire point of yoga is really stretching those muscles out and if you are cold then you run the risk of tearing the muscles fibres and that is going to render you out of action, and probably hateful of yoga altogether. If you are following a video then it is likely that they will talk you through the warm up, if not then it is critical that you get those legs, arms and core warmed up and ready to go.
Daily
To get the best benefits from yoga it is something that you should be looking to do each and every day. This means that yoga should form a key part of your daily routine and the morning is generally the best time to perform this exercise. The benefits which you’ll get in the morning is to have a body which is full stretched out and ready to take on the day.
Let us know how you get on.
