Practice Hints

Consult your physician before beginning Yoga Practice Keep your attention and awareness within in order to experience what you are doing. Allow yourself to relax, let go, and change into a healthier, happier person, naturally. Get to know your body and its limitations. Never force, strain, or judge yourself. Slow down or stop if you feel: sharp pain, exhaustion, dizziness, shortness of breath, or any other discomfort.

Go at your own pace, beginning with the easier practices first, then working up to other practices which are more challenging for you. Seek expert guidance if you are unsure or experience difficulties.

It is possible that you may have done, or seen others do, certain yoga practices somewhat differently than what is shown on these video programs. Based on their own experience and preference, Yoga teachers often make certain adjustments to their practices and their teachings, which do not significantly alter the benefits to be gained from those practices by new beginners.

Do not practice Yoga for 2-3 hours after meals. Make sure your stomach and bowels are empty. It is okay to drink a few sips of water before, but not during Yoga practice. Avoid practicing Yoga under direct sunlight.
