YOGA

YOGA FOR HEALTH


Yoga can be practiced anywhere by anyone. It’s one of the few fitness programs that do not limit you by your ability, fitness level, age, gender, gear, or location. If you are trying Yoga for the first time in your home, you’ll need a quiet space with enough room for a mat or small blanket. Wearing something that is loose fitting is usually accommodating enough for those who are in the process of learning Yoga. Traditionally, Yoga is practiced while barefoot, but socks and shoes can be worn. Most teachers will also advise you against eating a couple of hours before you begin your Yoga workout.
Even though Yoga is not a high impact exercise, you should still start slowly. Perform poses that are easier for a beginner to master so that your body will have a chance to condition itself prior to moving on to more complex poses. Be sure to stop if at any time you feel any pain or fatigue. Remember, Yoga is meant to be pain free!
