WHAT BEGINNERS NEED TO KNOW

What else is important to know before you start https://www.julianalucky.com/post/9-ways-to-practice-mindfulness-with-kids.

Yoga is a set of exercises (asanas), usually in a certain sequence. The resting pose, shavasana, concludes the class: in it your body should be completely still for 10-15 minutes. This time is enough for the body to relax and rest as much as possible, and the brain gets overloaded (yes, like a frozen computer).

2. During home yoga classes you should not feel any pain. No pain at all! You shouldn’t stretch your muscles on purpose (it’s not a sport!), bend down forcefully, stretch your legs – and still be patient. Even more so for beginners. You’ve just started working with your body, give it time, and you’ll soon see how you become more flexible. Learn to listen to your body. If you feel any discomfort – release the effort or step out of the asana.

3. 3. It’s better to do a small warm-up before you start, to warm up the muscles.

And breathe calmly and evenly in the asanas! Control your breath: don’t hesitate, breaths and exhalations should be as deep and slow as possible. This is very important.
