In this chaotic world, we often look for ways and means to gain peace in body and mind. Yoga is a beautiful way to achieve this goal, and question that hangs in the air for most is 'how do I get it started?'. No matter how old you are, you can always start yoga and then master it!
Most of the people are afraid to start because they think they'll forever be just beginners. Do not worry! The more yoga experiences you gain, the more you master it. If you are looking for the perfect chance, keep in mind that resorts the likes of Sri Sharavi Beach Villas & Spa offer complimentary yoga lessons for their in-house guests. This way, while enjoying a beautiful beach escape, you can also start your lessons of yoga in Mirissa.
Everybody comes for yoga lessons for their own reasons. When you practice, do not compare yourself to anyone in the class and focus on your body movements and what the instructor says. It's okay to glance up at others to see if you are in the right pose, but never judge your expression of a pose.
As you must be knowing, there are several poses that you'll have to try out when you are taking your yoga lessons. During this process, you should always allow yourself to breathe well and that's a must. If your breath gets blocked when trying out a pose, that means you've lost the mere purpose of it and you better try again from the beginning when this happens. Have a steady flow of breath and reconnect!
If you think that the fact that someone is bendy enough to do a pretzel posture makes him or her an advanced yogi, you've got it wrong. Yoga is about an internal union of your mind, posture, hands, breath and your ego as well. If you have these things right with you, and you try a cross-legged posture and get it right, then that's where your achievement lies.
Do you know that a lot of emotional tension is stored there in your physical body? Mostly around your hips and your shoulders, and yoga helps you chase these negative energies away. The reason why many people feel angry, sad and depressed for no apparent reason after a yoga class is this, and please keep in your mind that it's okay to undergo all these.
In our daily activities, we always hunch forward. We round forward when we walk, eat and even when watching TV. They say this protects the heart space but try bending back once in a while and you'll surely feel amazing. Backbends are true heart openers, and you'll feel as if you've got another new whole life when you do this.
