Advice for Yoga Beginners

Yoga for beginners: Advice before you start learning and practising Yoga - Part 5

It is time for the final lesson of my Yoga e-course. What you will find out here is advice every beginners to Yoga should know about. Do not worry though, I will still be publishing information on Yoga for beginners in the future, so this is not all you will get from me!

I am sure you know it by now that Yoga is an ancient and interesting way of uniting your body and your mind, which provides you with many proven health benefits on physical as well as emotional level.

The chances are you have already decided to go and find yourself a good Yoga program to start with. Perhaps you have already registered at your local Yoga center or maybe you have purchased yourself a DVD course or even an e-book.

At this moment you are probably very energized, optimistic and dying to get going! Ofcourse, who wouldn't be! After all, you are about to start something that can completely change your life to better. But before actually going to Yoga practice, there are a couple of important questions you should ask yourself.

Before you start with answering the questions, note that there is no right or wrong answers here. The main purpose of finding answers to the questions below is to stimulate your thoughts and to give you the mindset, which every student or beginner to Yoga needs in order to succeed and benefit from this really remarkable activity!

With that said, here are the questions you need to ask yourself before you start with learning and practising Yoga:

• What are your reasons for beginning with a Yoga program? Are those reasons realistic?


• How advanced is your Yoga program in terms of physical strain? Are postures hard to perform? Is there a chance you injure yourself while doing the selected Yoga program?


• Do you have clear goals for pursuing Yoga program? Do you know what you want to achieve?


• Do you have time and commitment to really get the most out of your Yoga program?


• Is there someone in your life who wants to negatively talk you out of this personal development path you are about to embark on? How will you handle this person? Will you avoid him or simply ask them to respect what you are doing?

Give yourself some quality time and think about the questions above. Ofcourse, many other questions will arise as well, so make sure to consider those as well.

When you have the right answers, you will feel clear and confident about experiencing Yoga and your life changing experience will begin!
