Yogic Tips
- Wear cotton clothes preferably while performing Yoga to allow the skin to breathe and sweat to evaporate.
- Do not aim at perfection at the very beginning since it takes great patience and perseverance. Benefit occurs even if you practice small movement every day.
- To relieve stress and strain, take up Shavasana in the beginning only, which helps every nerve fiber, limb get deep relaxation and reduces pain, ache or uneasiness in the body.
- Relaxation is a as important as going into the pose, so do follow up the session with Shavasana.
- Perform Asanas in slow motion, maintaining the rhythm of the breath, posture, co-ordination, of muscles with joints, as per the capacity of the body.
- The movements during the Asanas practice should be slow, smooth, steady, rhythmic and graceful focusing on breath all the time apart form the alignment.
- One must try to keep the body steady when in pose.
- Make progress slowly but steadily, paying attention to the details as every movements counts.
- Each time you perform, try to better your performance, and advance a little form the previous day’s practice i.e. hold the
Asanas a little more than before.
- Try to avoid all artificial props or apparatus as it the best limit is decided by your own body.
- Do not perform all the Asanas in a hurry to complete them all together or to cover them up on the same day. Rather go slow and enjoy every movement for better results.
- The effectiveness of an asana depends upon how focused you are at that moment.
- You daily regimen should be well balanced. Omitting one or the other is fine but do not omit the basic warm up movements and basic
Asanas along with final relaxation.
- Breathe only through nostrils. Try not to keep the mouth open.
- Try to keep the counts audibly when in pose /chant mantra aloud to release the negative pressure built up around lungs and heart,
- Do not perform Yoga in fever or any serious illness (spinal injury, fracture etc). Do it under supervision in case of minor illnesses like diabetes, hypertension, arthritis, migraine etc
- Keep 3-4 hours of gap after major meals 2 hours after a light breakfast and ½ hour after tea/coffee.
- Drink lots of water when choosing for Pranayam practice.
- Do not immediately take a bath /shower after the session/personal practice.
- Try not to perform while watching DVD/TV. As you tend to forget to maintain the focus on breath and alignment.
