kindflgirl Posted March 12 Posted March 12 I have recently started going to a yoga studio and am still learning about it but can already see the benefits it can provide Any experienced yoga practitioners here with any advice for someone new to it? Namaste
Alpacalia Posted March 12 Posted March 12 I used to do Yoga religiously. But I stopped after my father had a stroke because I just don't have to time to fit it in. I was at a point where I could do Chaturanga and the crow and planks with not problem but now I feel like I am starting from ground zero. Yoga has many health benefits, not just for balance it's a pathway to inner peace and self-discovery. Honor your current energy levels and physical abilities—yoga is about progress, not perfection. 1

I am sorry to hear about your father and hope he is doing better now? The mental and inner peace components of yoga is what really led me to getting started. The balance, flexibility and core strength are just added benefits for sure. I am loving it so far and I love the community and vibe in the classes 1
MsJayne Posted March 13 Posted March 13 Yoga's an excellent component to a healthy lifestyle, you've probably already read up on the long term benefits. If you stick at it and do it regularly you should remain flexible well into old age. I have spinal issues and without yoga I'm certain those issues would be much worse, as it is I'm still mowing lawns and chopping trees down at 61 . 1

I hope to be doing the same at that age! I am definitely trying to learn as much as possible about and the flexibility is absolutely a big component of it for me. I grew up playing sports so my flexibility is ok but this is only going to help me strengthen it and maintain it 1
