Yoga 101

People all over the world are testing the waters with yoga, trying it for the very first time. Once viewed as a pastime for women, yoga has started to attract people from all types of backgrounds, including senior citizens and athletes. Individuals with physical limitations and injured athletes who cannot participate in other types of exercise can participate freely in yoga. In its ability to be adapted to the specific needs of an audience, yoga has continued to grow in popularity. Yoga has become to many the cornerstone of a healthy, rewarding lifestyle. If trying yoga for the first time, here are some helpful tips to help you get started.

 

1. Eat appropriately - Remember that your body will be in awkward, challenging positions for the very first time. This means that you will be turning your stomach in all types of directions. Remember to eat lightly if eating an hour before class. If you are planning to eat a heavier meal, do this many hours before class begins.

 

2. Perfect clothing - There is no particular form of clothing that must be worn while participating in yoga. Remember that comfortable clothing is all that is required to get started in yoga. Clothing can be anything from shorts to pants, whatever makes a person feels really comfortable during class.

 

3. Yoga isn't at all about religion - Although yoga incorporates a few spiritual components, beginners should take comfort in knowing that all people from all backgrounds are accepted. Most yoga instructors are inclusive of people from all types of religious backgrounds. Yoga is more about improving the connection between the mind, body and spirit.

 

Attending your first yoga class can be a daunting experience. In time, you will feel like this is one of the most welcoming environments. Yoga discourages judgment and instructors strive to make attendees feel welcome. Most people are able to choose from the various styles of yoga the style that is suited for them.
