Tips for Beginners

Yoga is more than a form of physical exercise that heals; the physical postures or asanas help re-train our bodies on a cellular level, oxygenating and energizing sedentary systems. Practiced with the correct awareness and highest intention, yoga becomes a path to emotional stability, mental clarity and spiritual unity. Use Downtown Yoga to remain healthy and active as you age.

Here are three suggestions for yogis of all levels:

• Attend Class. Showing up is 95% of the effort.
• Stay Present. Remind yourself to be fully present mentally and emotionally as well as physically.
• Listen to your inner voice.Yoga is not a competition; you have nothing to prove. Find the posture that feels comfortable for you; ask questions or request additional help if needed.
