yoga should it try it?

Question

im a 18 year old girl and im thinking of trying doing yoga as iv heard its a good way to relax you.anyone else do yoga and has any tips on doing it at home.

Answer 1

Go for it yoga is great for mind body and soul, i do it at home to soft music, it also keeps your body toned

Answer 2

Get a good, well set out book on it. That's what I did. Read the preface to get the explanton for why u are doing yoga and this will help you stretch better because u will know about breathing and the non-competitive nature of it. It's amazingly relaxing and can prevent back injuries. \Or getting a basic yogaDVD is great as well. I have a couple.
Good for posture which makes u look slimmer too!

Answer 3

Yoga is an EXCELLENT form of exercise. It's relaxing, it builds muscle, and it increases flexibility.

My suggestion would be to check your local public library for exercise videos on yoga and start with those. If you have cable television, there is also a great yoga program on the Oxygen channel (in my area, it's on at 6am, so I tape it) called "Inhale." It's a bit advanced -- it's a hard workout, actually -- so you might want to start with a video for beginners (Yoga Journal has a nice series of tapes with Rodney Yee, a famous yogi) and work up to "Inhale." You may also want to at least take ONE professionally-taught class to make sure you are doing the poses correctly.

Good luck!

Answer 4

you should try a class with an instructor at first & then you can go on to getting a video or dvd from the library

Answer 5

Answer 6
