8 Easy Tips for Yoga Beginners

Thinking of practicing Yoga from this  month, but don’t know how to start? Here are some valuable tips!

1. Specify a proper time:  This sounds easy, but is the toughest to stick to! Therefore, make it a habit to practice yoga at a fixed time.  The best time to start off is  just  an hour after you wake up or in the evening. Yoga at these times can also be a good way to refresh the mind and release stress collected during the day. Fixing a time will get you in a habit of doing yoga exercises every day without fail.

2. Choose a comfortable place: People recommend practicing yoga at your home. But if you are doing yoga at home, there are chances you might get disturbed by others, constant ringing of doorbells or ringing of telephone, etc. We suggest you to choose a private corner where you will not be disturbed or come in the way of your family. Yoga isn’t same as working out at gyms. Yoga needs ample amount of self-time, concentration and dedication

3. Practice on a relatively empty stomach: The next most important thing to keep in mind is that, yoga postures are always best practiced on a light or empty stomach. You can practice yoga poses and meditate about 2-3 hours after your meal.

4. Start off easy:  As you are a beginner, start with easy-to-do yoga poses and some stretching exercises. Even doing yoga for 20 minutes initially, including pranayam can go a long way in building your core.  Stretching is needed to warm you up before doing intense yoga postures. This is an absolute must, else you may risk straining your muscles.

5. Be gentle: It’s yoga and not some high-intensity bodyweight workouts. Don’t do it increasingly fast and also do not take a number breaks in between.  Do it with a smile!

6. Set the mood: Yoga is all about finding inner peace. So, set the mood at home. This can be done by dimming the lights and putting on soft music in the background that will keep you motivated.

7. Try out different Yoga postures: After  starting off as  a novice try to train the different Yoga techniques to get more benefits. Some of them are as follows:
