...ice Yoga at home. If this is not possible, you should set aside some time for formal Yoga instruction, with the guidance of a competent Yoga teacher or Guru.

Many students of Yoga feel more energized, and much less stressed, after Yoga instruction, than before. This is interesting when you consider that the most common reason people do not attend Yoga classes, more often, is that they feel too tired. These same people, who do not attend Yoga classes often, complain about insomnia and irregular sleep patterns.

This is a stress, fatigue, worry, and insomnia cycle, which will shave years off your life, while draining you of life energy. We know that the body contains energy; in Yoga, we call it Prana. You have the power to recharge your life energy through Pranayama, or you can get medical prescriptions.

Why would doctors of western medicine recommend prescriptions, in the above- mentioned case? Many doctors are burdened with patients who refuse to be pro-active about their health. Remember the old saying, You can lead...more

Yoga for Life

...ked to stress or disuse. Lying on your back, you might recognize the knee squeeze (pavana mukt-asana) and standing, the stretch tall (tad-asana).

So it seems, you can learn a lot of yoga moves by taking a variety of exercise classes. You might ask, Why then should I take yoga classes?

My answer is that doing the poses can be quite different from doing them correctly. The coordinated breathing, the sustaining of poses and the concentration that are so integral to yoga are not likely to be achieved in a general exercise class.

Yoga teaches deep diaphragmatic breathing in tempo with each movement. Focusing on breathing allows you to transition smoothly from asana to asana and helps the muscles and joints to achieve greater range of motion.

In yoga, you will never bounce or force a stretch. You will be coached to go to your point of resistance, breathe in deeply, and stretch a tiny bit further on the exhale. You relax into the stretch; never force it.

Focusing on breathing into each asana serves yet another purpose. It takes you away from your day-to-day concerns. Once you get into your yoga zone, you will be amazed at how light you feel, how relaxed and how focused. And then, ironically, when you complete your workout and come back to earth, you will feel invigorated and energized.

Choosing Yoga Clothing - Stop Posing!

...nd involves making common sense choices. However, there are a few tips that can help you to choose the correct clothing, both for looks and functionality.

Form Fitting or Baggy?

As a general rule, loose fitting clothes are the best for yoga. This is because they allow you to move with more freedom and won't interfere with the various yoga positions or asanas. Also, tight fitting clothes could hamper your blood and energy flow which is obviously a bad thing to happen in the middle of a workout. On the other hand, if your yoga clothing is too baggy, your instructor will be unable to check your form sufficiently and you could be performing your postures incorrectly. So, loose, but not TOO loose, is the order of the day!
