Tips for Yoga Beginners

Ultimately Yoga is not about standing on your head, but on your own two feet. Yoga is more than a form of physical exercise that can heal and harmonize every system in the body.

The physical postures or asanas teach us on a cellular level to stay present to our own practice and our own lives. Practiced with the correct awareness and highest intention, yoga becomes a path to emotional stability, mental clarity and spiritual unity.

Here are three suggestions for yogis of all levels:

  • Show up! Whether it's your own practice or a formal class, showing up is 90% of the effort.
  • Stay present. Remind yourself to be fully present mentally and emotionally as well as physically.
  • Listen to your inner voice. Remember that you have nothing to prove to anyone. Do what feels right for you and ask for extra guidance when needed.
