Size Does matter!

I have received a few comments on the blog and from friends on Facebook etc. regarding the Yoga practice. Quite a few said they used to practice but no longer do although enjoyed it, other said they are still in the process of trying it and one friend said she needs to sweat to feel the workout.

I would like to thank all the readers for taking their time and comment on the blog.  As I am a great believer of the benefits of Yoga I would like to stress once again why you should resume or begin Yoga practice.

Firstly, Yoga is for all ages, stages, shapes or flexibility. Anyone can practice it as each asana (Yoga pose) can be done in several variations to fit all. You do need a good teacher to guide you at first.

As Yoga is a practice that if you keep it up you’ll see rapid changes in your ability, your mood, posture and your physique, not only does it naturally motivate you to continue the workout but it also sends your brain a positive message of ‘I can do it! I am progressing!’ and that in itself can reflect on the rest of your life.
If you are an aerobic type of person at least use some of the Yoga asana at the end of your practice so you benefit from the stretches after the workout and from calming your mind.

But one thing that I really love about Yoga is that you can do it anywhere, anytime. All you need is a space in the size of your yoga mat. So even if your house in not the size a mansion, or you go on a holiday you can always take your Yoga mat with you. Yoga can also be done while you are in the office and there is nothing like a spinal twist to relief your back or head rolls to relief the neck. You can practically use the Yoga asana like a tool kit that you pull out the relevant tool/asana when you need it. And if you are new to Yoga it will be worth your while to get the Yoga for beginner’s kit that includes a mat, a stretching belt and Yoga block to help with asana that may be too demanding for beginners. You will usually find inside those kits also a complementary DVD of Yoga practice. That could be helpful when you are new to Yoga and can’t remember all the asana from the class.

Breathe in and Relax….
