How to Improve After Starting Yoga

Early this morning I attended my yoga session at Cebu City, I met a new friend named Joanna. She just started yoga last week. While I was talking to her I thought of this short thought to share: How to Improve After Starting Yoga.

I got this list of tips from Yoga Basics blog, https://www.yogabasics.com/

Patience, commitment, repetition, and consistency are the keys to developing and progressing in the practice of yoga. After you’ve found a style, teacher, and yoga studio that works for you, try these tips:
• Commit to a regular schedule of yoga classes or home practice
• Increase the length of your yoga practice and the number of days per week that you practice
• Attend yoga workshops that focus on specific aspects of the yoga practice in more detail

When I started my Yoga, I attend my yoga class every day and participate in 2 to 3 sessions. I spent a total of 3 to 4 hours in the studio and that also depends on what type of yoga is available. There is nothing wrong with that as long as you don't have other obligations or responsibilities. When Joanna shared that she spent almost 12 hours in the studio I was shocked. So I shared this article with her, reference: https://www.yogabasics.com/practice/yoga-for-beginners/

How Often Should I Do Yoga?
If you can practice yoga 3 or more times per week, you will see significant improvements in your flexibility, range of motion, strength, balance, inner peace, and overall well being. Ideally, we recommend shorter and more frequent sessions, 20-45 minutes long, and for a total of 3-4 hours spread over several days. Practicing yoga less than this amount will still be beneficial, but you will see smaller improvements over a longer period. Like most things, the more time you can dedicate towards it, the more benefits you will receive.

Again, it’s okay but I suggest don’t overdo it because it may cause stress. Listen to your body. Yoga can engage the muscles and parts of your body that you might not be used to exercising. You must listen to your body and if it starts to ache then it might be time to have a break. Try not to do too much too soon and make sure you take a break when your body is telling you to.
