Now Do Advanced Yoga Breathing


Learning to breathe properly should be taken seriously. Now that you have begun doing deep breathing it's time to understand how breathing is taught by Yoga certified instructors and Yogis. This process needs to be learned the correct way because by doing so will gain the benefits and insights of people that have been practicing this technique for thousands of years. There are also spiritual benefits as associated with this kind of breathing that are essential for higher levels of Yoga. The spiritual connection we discuss is the ability to open your mind further for deeper meditation and calm. Breathing begins with a forceful inhalation and a forceful exhalation. When you force inhalation it brings massive amounts of oxygen into your system. When you exhale forcefully it takes carbon dioxide out. It has been referred to as the breath of fire as it expels toxins and supercharges the body with oxygen while forcing out the CO2. Here are the steps: 1. Place your hand on your stomach just under your solar plexus 2. Breathe forcefully outward almost like a sneeze filling your stomach go in like you are flexing your stomach inward 3. Do this 25 times quickly in and out evenly 4. Once done do slow long breaths to calm your self 5. Repeat this process 3-5 times a day Here is a good video on this technique: http://youtu.be/d6d7_oJGzKQ

The Most Powerful Meditation In Yoga?


The next level of Yoga involves meditation with conditioned breathing. This technique that we're going to reveal to you was once only practiced by Yogis and was considered a secret method for helping the mind and body to connect. According to the instructors that have passed information, people have attained additional levels of health and even powerful psychic benefits. Here is the process: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. The eyes are almost closed looking down at the tip of the nose Block the right nostril with your thumb on the side of your nose Inhale through your left nostril deeply and hold your breath Now think about your mantra saying For each mantra saying pump your stomach once Do a total of 16 pumps of your stomach Block your left nostril with your pinky Exhale through your right nostril

To Western eyes this process seems to be rather strange. We are told by Yogi masters that practicing this type of meditative breathing, the alternating nostrils, the breath and stomach pushes works together with your mantra to create balance and harmony in the body, expel toxins and empower the mind. Even if you don't completely believe this, you will be expanding your lung capacity, strengthening your stomach and learning a different way to do focus meditation on your mantra, all good things. Here is a video of this process being performed to help you visualize and learn this technique: http://youtu.be/gvtx62lUho0

Power Starter Guide For Yoga

The main purpose of this introductory guide is to get you ready to be able to participate in Yoga courses that will help to strengthen your body using various poses or asanas (Yoga positions). Most people are aware that you are required to have hopefully a small degree of flexibility and some physical stamina to properly benefit from Yoga. Yet regardless of your health, you can improve. Because many of us suffer from different levels of joint pain, arthritis, fibromyalgia or other debilitating and chronic health issues it is important to start slowly and allow your body time to adapt to the new physical processes that are required to master Yoga. Remember that even small amounts of the practice can be sufficient to improve your health. Never overexert yourself to perform Yoga in a matter that is counterproductive to your health. If you're having issues breathing then something is not being done correctly and you should consult a certified Yoga instructor. Try not to force poses or moves and make sure that with effort comes appropriate understanding as to why you are doing the pose and the benefit that it should instill in your body. Listen to your teachers as they have years of experience and can guide you successfully.

How To Physically Prepare For Yoga


A lot of preparation for Yoga is more mental than physical; but it is important to prepare your body to decrease the risk of injury and help you to get the most benefit of practice. Obviously the first and most important step is to check with your doctor to ensure that your body is strong enough for beginners Yoga. Even if your doctor has some concerns remember that you can still take Yoga but simply modify your routine to reflect your doctors suggestions. Breathing issues are of a particular concern because the discipline requires focused breathing. If you have asthma or some other form of breathing issue consulting with the physician prior to class can help you prepare and benefit from ongoing Yoga practices. If you exercise regularly and are reasonably fit you should be ready to start most levels of Yoga class.

Food

Power Starter Guide For Yoga

We all need to eat on a regular basis and it is important to have energy before yoga class. It is a good idea to have a nourishing meal 2 to 3 hours ahead of time but you do not want to eat just before class. Of course you know your body best and the energy levels that you need to maintain. Yoga can be demanding physically so ensure good nutrition throughout the day prior to your class and have a quick snack ready right after.

Mastering Flexibility
People are more flexible at different times of the day. Knowing the best times to your most flexible will allow you to modify poses so that if you are performing Yoga at a time when your body is not at 100% you can protect yourself from injury.

Warm Up Your Body


A good warm-up prior to any exercise regimen is also highly recommended. Most yoga practices start slowly and build up to more challenging flexible positions. If there is a particular time that you find you are more flexible, stick to classes at this time. The moral of the story is to prepare before you begin any yoga practice. Preparation, proper hydration, proper nutrition, understanding your flexibility and warming your body up are all important aspects of a successful empowering Yoga session that is free from injury.

Preparing For Your First Yoga Class


Preparing for your first Yoga class may seem a bit trying or even confusing. You might be wondering what kind of clothes you should wear or if you have to do some kind of unique chant or starter pose you dont know. Finding a local Yoga class is going to be your best bet for continued success and allay your fears. Working with other people at different physical levels also will show you what you can expect to achieve if you continue to apply yourself to the discipline.

What To Wear
Make sure that you wear proper fitting and comfortable clothing that also allows the instructor to see your form and offer corrections when necessary. You want to also make sure that your clothing will remain just tight enough to allow you to stretch without exposing body parts. Depending on the temperature it's a good idea to wear several layers of clothing that can be removed as you warm up. Capri length athletic pants that can be removed after warm up with shorts is always a good starter option and so are light stretchable athletic sweat pants.

What To Bring

Power Starter Guide For Yoga

It's always a good idea to bring a Yoga mat and of course a bottle of water. Some studios will actually allow you to use their mats but for a few dollars you can have your own and reduce the risk of any kind of communicable virus being passed on to you, such as a cold.

What To Expect
What you can expect is contingent on the style of yoga and the kind of class as well as the instructor. Typically most Yoga classes start in a pensive and reflective mode with a few gentle stretches. You can probably expect some form of guided meditation and then you will move to a series of traditional Yoga poses and eventually end in a form of relaxation pose laying on your back for total relaxation. The instructor may give some additional recommendations and speak to everyone at this point and the class usually ends with a slight bow with hands held in prayer position speaking the word, Namaste.

Yoga Etiquette
There is a form of etiquette that exists in Yoga and he can vary from studio to studio, but typically it is important that you show respect to both the teacher and the students by following these simple instructions. They are not difficult and can help you get the most out of your classes: 1. Make sure that you remove your shoes before entering the main studio floor. Most people will wear thongs or sandals that can be easily removed and stored in cubbies throughout the studio.

2. Turn off any cell phones or distractive devices that could interrupt the class. While this seems commonplace most people do not do this and it causes upset feelings. 3. Let the instructor know that this will be your first class. If you feel more comfortable in the back of the room this is fine but make sure that you pay attention to the instructors so that you can perform the poses correctly without causing injury to yourself. 4. Trying to use the restroom before classes to avoid interrupting everyone as you leave the studio floor. 5. Leave the perfume at home. Nothing is more distracting than a room full of bodies covered in different overpowering scents. 6. Try not to leave the studio floor except in an emergency. This can really upset people who are trying to get into the right meditative state. 7. Leave sufficient room between you and others on the floor. While many of these suggestions seem relatively commonplace, assuredly you will see people from all ages and walks of life that will do the things mentioned here. Dont be one of these people. It's important to remember that everyone is taking class at the same time so we all need to cooperate to make sure that the experience is a positive and reflective one for all people involved.
