Personally, my favorite thing to relieve stress is to do some yoga. If you’re interested in trying yoga, below I share five tips that can help you have more effective yoga sessions.Â
Go Beyond Asana PosturesÂ
Asana postures came from western yoga classes and are one part of yoga. These postures were also used to prepare the body for meditation. Going beyond these simple poses will get you more from your yoga practice.Â
Read Yogic TextÂ
Yogic texts are long and dense, but if you read little bits at a time it can really help you understand yoga a lot more. As a result, you get more benefits from your yoga practice.
Practice Yoga at HomeÂ
Attending yoga classes is good, but practicing at home allows you to take your yoga experience to the next level. It also allows you to get the change to take your yoga practice to a deeper more inward experience.Â
Try Different Styles of YogaÂ
Try different types of yoga classes or practice a variety of styles at home on your own. This is a great way to find out what kind of yoga you resonate with better and this will also allow you to get the most out of your yoga experience.Â
Move Slowly in and out of Your Yoga PracticeÂ
In today’s world, it seems like everyone is busy and often stressed. It’s easy to get wrapped up in your phone notifications and other distractions. But whether you’re in a class or at home, easing in and out of your practice will help you get the most benefits out of your practice.Â
