Useful tips on yoga


Namaste
yoga is fallowed by many peoples but they where doing with out awareness of the body .Let me give some important tips for the yoga lovers.




Three Essential Guidelines of How to Practice Yoga:
Yoga is not just a series of exercises, poses or movements. yoga is a type of body meditation. It is meditation in motion.


1. Do Yoga Exercises With Full Awareness:
Try to be as aware as possible of every posture and movement you are making during your practice. Check throughout your yoga practice, as to where your mind is, and if it has wandered away, gently bring it back and focus again on the poses and the breathing. This is the number one requirement of doing yoga, regardless of whether you are just a beginner yogi or a yoga master.Its normal that the human mind fly away when trying to control it just like when you push the ball in side the water ,it just wan to flow up in the same way our human mind.Regular practice help us to get it.

2. Never Over Strain When Practicing Yoga:
As the requirement above, this guideline also applies to both beginner yoga practitioners as well as advanced yogis. Yoga is a journey, it is be enjoyed and the sights and sounds taken in, it is not a competition.Every movement of your body during your practice dont over strain be aware.

3. Yoga & Breathing Go Hand In Hand:
Don’t forget to breathe! There are 2 aspects of breathing which every beginner yogi should be cognizant of.
First, yoga poses and exercises, generally have some breathing pattern associated with them. This breath component of the yoga posture should not be ignored. The breathing plays a very important role in yoga and in order to get the most out of your yoga practice, employ the correct breathing along with the movement.
Second, pranayama, or the science of expanding and controlling prana (chi/life-force) is a key aspect of yoga and should be an integral part of your yoga practice. So, in addition to developing your physical yoga practice, be sure to also develop your expertise in pranayama. As a beginner, make sure you start off gently, as pranayama is a very powerful science and make steady progress over time.
