Are you in a dilemma with the issue how to start Yoga? No problem. If you want to get the health benefits of Yoga you should start very cautiously. Don’t start in a hurry. Hurry may lead to total chaos and the fruit of the benefit would remain illusive. The moment you are brooding over the matter of how to start yoga you have to take into account that there are many Yoga postures, breathing exercises and styles that you have to learn in due course of time.
How long shall I take Yoga Exercises?
One hour of yoga exercises practice is sufficient for you in the very beginning. If you have some time to spare after performing the daily chores you can utilize it going all out for a Yoga practice. As you have stepped in the realm to taste the essence of health benefits of Yoga you should start Yoga asanas along with Pranayama. Naturally yogis never take leave from the Yoga practices but if you want you may take one day's leave.
What is the right time to practice yoga?
Actually there is no specific time for practicing Yoga exercise. But according to ancient scriptures it is better to practice Yoga and Pranayama early at dawn. You can practice Yoga in the evening too. But the gap between your lunch and the starting of practice should be at least 4-5 hours. There are some specific exercises that you may practice before retiring to bed at night.
What do you expect in the very beginning from yoga exercises?
Actually everyone in the very initial phase wants to get three things overnight. These are-
- Perfect body shape
- Losing weight
- Seeking more energy
- Total cure from the ailments he/she has been suffering from
You are not wrong. But these expectations are too much in the beginning. In course of time you are sure to achieve your target. Be regular, take exercise at a particular time whether at dawn or in the evening. But first of all you must take care of the diet. Without controlling the diet you can not hit the bull. It is Yoga alone that can not do the miracle. You have to be cautious about the food habit. If you have some addictions please try to give them up. Drive the negative thoughts rambling in your mind forcefully. Be compassionate to all. It is better if you can have total trust on your God or Goddess whom you LOVE. Never be aggressive however frustrating and intolerable the situation may be. Keep your cool all the time. Try to bring your emotions under your supreme control.
May I take other exercises along with Yoga exercises?
To get the health benefits of Yoga never take any exercise beside Yoga. If you do so you may be sure that the balance of the body and mind that you have made with labor is sure to be lost. You may swim in the pond, cycle for an hour, dance for 30 minutes but never go to the GYM. Yoga and Gym may do harm to your body. In this regard if you find any Yoga guru seek advice from him. After strenuous exercises yoga practice should be canceled. Rather you may take the help of Relaxation Techniques.
