One has to crawl first to walk.

This fact is especially true in regards to keeping fit, as anyone who knows anything about fitness and exercise knows that you have to start somewhere AND slowly, and the same principle applies to Yoga.

When I mentioned to my friend that I practice Yoga, she asked me for clues on the best yoga tips for starters and how to apply them for maximum efficiency.

In no particular order, I gave her this list:

  1. Get a good Yoga Mat.
  2. Get some nice Yoga apparel
  3. Make sufficient space in her room.
  4. Get a metronome for accurate timing needs.

Now, I handed her information on the very core of yoga tips for starters, in fact the very core of Yoga itself (and in some circles, Martial Arts AND Indian Wrestling. These babies are called the Sun Salutations.

Besides being an essential element in yoga tips for starters, they are quite indispensable as they stimulate and balance all the systems of
the body including the endocrine, circulatory, reproductive and digestive system.

Other Poses for Yoga tips for starters include the following:

  1. The Shoulderstand.
  2. The Bridge Pose
  3. The Fish Pose
  4. The Head to Knee Pose
  5. Backward Bending Poses
  6. Twisting Poses
  7. The corpse pose.

Purposely, I ommitted the mentioning of the abdominal and breathing exercises, for now, till I felt she would be ready to learn and use them in her yoga routine.

I also stressed that for using yoga tips for starters, she perhaps may only need to practice mainly the afore-mentioned sun salutations for time constraints and all. I mean 24 reps of them IS a workout friends.

So, if like my friend you are in need of assistance with getting started with yoga, it is my hope that these tips will come in handy to aiding you in striking your favorite yoga pose.
