Helpful Yoga Tips

By Sienna Nalin


With yoga, you must come prepared, so of course I am going to give you guys some good advice to do well and get all the benefits from yoga. You must be completely focused while trying to become stress free and strengthen your body.

Arrive early: Head to the studio at least 10 minutes before the scheduled class in case there's paperwork to fill out or if you want to ask about any introductory discounts for new students.

Some forms of yoga involve chanting: If you are in a yoga
class that does chanting, feel free to try it. If you are not ready to begin chanting, you do not have to do it.

Don't clench: If you want to be able to really relive some stress and get the most out of your yoga experience, you must be loose and not clench. With clenching your body parts you cannot really get a full experience.

Breath: With doing yoga, one must remember to breath. While breathing you should also watch how you breathe and become calm. Breathing is everything with yoga.

Trust the teacher: Moving at your teacher's pace might be difficult. Regardless of whether it's feeling too fast or too slow, trust their choices for sequencing and do your best to stay on track with the rest of the class. Also know that some teachers will be more hands on than others. If you're not comfortable with touching or adjustments, there's nothing wrong with telling your instructor it isn't working for you.
