Sam presents NEW !! Yoga Exercise for Beginners. Become Your Best. posted at Surfer Sam and Friends, saying, “Thanks for including my article. Here’s an excerpt… New !! Enjoy Yoga Exercise for Beginners Become Your Best Practicing yoga is a daily exercise routine that helps you grow as a person. It teaches you how to live with awareness, while it strengthens you in both body and mind. The practice of yoga is a learning process. You will come to a better understanding of your own strengths, limitations and needs. Whether you repeat a specific sequence of exercises, or just muddle through a few of your favorite poses, you’re still doing yoga. Explore the poses you enjoy. Tune in to how your breath feels. Notice where your mind goes and the sensations that each pose invites. Advance at your own pace. For a beginner’s workout, the suggested poses are not complicated and are held for very short periods of time. When you are ready to advance, find a nearby yoga class and a teacher that you like. Beginning a Program of Yoga Exercises The exercise program we in the West call yoga is technically known as Hatha Yoga. Modern Hatha Yoga focuses primarily on an exercise plan of yoga postures, which are called asanas. Yoga starts with centering poses, gentle stretches bringing awareness and quiet to your senses. Next are standing poses to release tension, increase circulation, expand the lungs, and help you breathe more deeply. Next, there are forward bends cool the body and bring quiet to the nervous system. The final restorative poses are so relaxing that you may fall asleep. Traditional Yoga is a vast collection of spiritual techniques and practices through recorded history. Yoga is not a religion, but an approach to integrate mind, body and spirit and achieve a state of enlightenment or oneness with the universe. The Benefits of Yoga Exercise You’ll be surprised at the benefits of regular yoga exercise. You will notice improvements in your health, strength, flexibility and general quality of life. Many scientific studies confirm the remarkable benefits of yoga. Yoga improves the flexibility of your spine and decreases pain in people suffering from chronic back pain. People who practice yoga have higher levels of antioxidants in their blood to fight free radical damage. When your busy schedule, daily stresses and low spirits upset you and take you down, yoga is a way to nurture yourself.”
