20 Tips When Starting your Sadhana (Yoga Practice)
10 Tips When Starting Your Yoga Practice
Each person’s yoga practice is unique to them.
Allow yourself to have your own internal somatic experience through your awareness and your breath.
Listen to your body. It matters less what a pose “looks like” on your body, it’s more important how it feels.
If you need to slow down or take a pause during class, take time to explore the relaxation poses offered.
Let go of expectations of your body or what you expect from that day’s class.
Do your best not to compare yourself to me, others or what your body did in the last class.
Everyone’s body, anatomy, strength, flexibility and skill levels are different.
Some days certain poses may feel more difficult or easy. Just notice.
Be patient with your body and allow your breath to guide you. Give your body the chance to open into the poses and release tension.
Be gentle and accommodating with yourself, never push through pain nor strain.
10 Tips to Prepare for Your Yoga Practice
Clear your schedule, commit and prioritize this one hour a week for your yoga practice.
It’s best to practice yoga on an empty stomach or at least give your body 2 hours to digest food before you practice.
Practicing with a yoga mat is ideal, a carpet or a rug are suitable too.
Bare feet preferably or non-slip socks.
Wear comfortable clothes that don't restrict your movement.
Keep a blanket nearby in case you get cold during Sivasana (relaxation pose)
Journal - sometimes people get insights during class and want to write about it after class.
