Top 10 Tips for Yoga Beginners
Don't start practicing yoga without keeping these in mind, certified instructor Lynn Medow says.
Lynn Medow has these tips for people just starting out. Take it slow, she advises.
- Take the time to learn how to properly strike a pose.
- Find an instructor whose style matches yours and who is also experienced, certified and caring.
- Inform yoga teachers about previous and existing health issues.
- Build your practice. Start with a beginning class and move up as you gain knowledge and confidence.
- Align head, shoulder and pelvis, always.
- A strong core protects your back - your core consists of muscles front and back.
- Never rush. Yoga is a practice that builds over time.
- Don’t push. True yoga is staying in the moment and accepting where you are, right now.
- Protect your knees: never lock them when standing.
- ACCEPT YOU. Don’t compare yourself to others.
