Choose which style of Yoga
That depends on the nature of each, their physical characteristics and their needs, because not all the yogas are equal, although they share the same essence. Ask yourself what is your interest in yoga and looking for a style that page with this in this Guide styles. For example, internal growth, spirituality, harmony and motivation, physical therapy for pain or improving health. Usually I recommend to start with a class of hatha yoga. Its characteristic is that it is slow, meditative and generally softer than other forms of yoga. It is a yoga that adapts to the majority of body and health status and that retains the Faculty of relaxing yoga while promoting good health and boosts energy. There are those who want something faster and more intense, in which case you can choose a form of vinyasa (flowing sequences yoga). It is essential to start with a class for beginners or basic level.How to prepare for yoga
Preparation for yoga, even for experienced Yogis, is very simple. You only need to be willing to take a complete break in your life for a period of time. What makes yoga in essence, other physical activities, is that our mind is fully present in what you're doing. Get ready to not be available and have full consciousness. If you are thinking about something else, you are letting go the most valuable thing has. It has time and silence on arrival and on departure. Not two hours before you eat or expected three if your last meal wasn't so light. To give you an idea of what are you doing you can familiarize yourself with these postures of yoga for beginners. Before the first class you can ask if you must bring something, know the place, read a little bit about what yoga is about, even if you don't "know" anything. Relax and flows.What to wear in a Yoga class
The main rule for yoga clothing is comfort. You prefer loose clothing to the body, but in a material that allows you complete freedom of movement. Comfortable trousers and a t-shirt are the best choice. White is a color very cute for the practice of yoga because it represents the light. Choose colors that resonate with you. But eye: you don't have to buy anything "special" to yoga. You have fun and choose something with what you feel good, but not give him much relevance to your clothing. Liberation begins there. Yoga is wonderful but also has become an millionaire and frivolous industry. So many products Yogis contradict his essence, confuse us and we forget that it is back to the simple, let go of the need to buy or have. Yoga is practiced barefoot with the feet firm on the ground.What to bring for Yoga
For yoga is not needed virtually nothing besides your physical and mental presence and a yoga mat. It is better for you to take your own mat to class (or mat, as well as, also known in Spanish despite being an anglicism). There are some places where you can lend or rent but I do not recommend it if you're going to have as a constant practice yoga. You will not only feel more comfortable supporting your body and your face if you have your own mat, but it helps you get better connected. In yoga we say that the mat keeps your prana, your vital energy. In some styles of yoga energy where there is much effort and sweat, it is recommended that you bring a towel and a bottle of water, but in most versions of hatha yoga (hatha yoga is the physical practice of yoga) not be drink water during classes. It is possible that there is a final relaxation where the body temperature down, so have to hand something to wrap up.Practice at home
It is a choice to spend a few minutes a day to be in silence through meditation and do some basic on your own positions provided you have in mind some recommendations for safe practice. To do this, you can start with these simple stretches or these 10 basic yoga postures. But I am sure that doing yoga with a teacher is the best, especially at the beginning. A good teacher will transmit a special energy which full of peace and positivity, will make sure that you do not hurt, of to do the position correctly so you can have your physical, mental and emotional benefits. Sharing the practice with a nice group also is something very special. Some people feel somewhat shy to go to a yoga class for the first time. In yoga there are no judgments, competition comparisons, so there is nothing what fear. Only open us to who we are and to let go. Fear is a sign that we are leaving behind the familiar and that we are growing spiritually. You're going to give thanks always.What to expect from a yoga class
Yoga practices can vary quite a tradition to another. Some may have a spiritual component, while others may focus on the physical work. Some styles of yoga maintain postures for some seconds or minutes, while others are based on fluid sequences. In the majority of classes the Professor makes a demonstration and then goes to correct you to be sure that there are no risks and if benefits. It is possible that there are no questions during class and make the questions at the end. A more classical yoga class may contain a few mantras, breathing (pranayama), chants and relaxation exercises. Also in traditional yoga, you can find a mystical atmosphere of symbols, incense and pictures that happy and inspiring.What to do in a yoga class
Essentially, a pause of mental discourse. Comes with time to tune in to the environment, listen to instructions and let the thoughts aside. You only need openness and good attitude. Little by little you will see that your body relaxes and stretches when your mind is relaxed. Tries to keep conscience fully in what you're doing and try not to compare yourself to anyone. Concentrate on yours and not be distracted with what comes from outside or des rope to your mind if you go into the future or the past. Bring it back. No offense if you corrected. In yoga there is no "best". Try not to judge if you are facing for the first time to a different language or some unknown techniques. Flows, loose, relax, listen to your body and respects its limits, fully breathe through the nose, and when you can close your eyes. If you lose the balance or fail a positions, nothing happens. Yoga is a path, not a goal. Laugh and try again. Have fun.Keep in mind
In yoga, it is essential that each posture becomes a consciously and not mechanics, paying attention to your body, to the place where you are working and trying to relax the parts have stressed. Yoga is an exercise of self-observation.Yoga is practiced barefoot to be very close to the Earth and to be very firm in your exercises.
Yoga gets special attention on the breath and always inhale and exhale through the nose, unless otherwise specified (there are exceptions). A central component of yoga is pranayama, prana is nothing more and nothing less than our vital energy.
It is not suitable to eat little before do yoga. It is best to eat light foods three or at least two hours before practice.
With the exception of the hot yoga (yoga to high temperatures), is not common or necessary to drink water during classes, but it is important to hydrate the body after practices to help cleaning that you made in your body.
