Getting started
Simple tips and advice for getting started on the mat. By Eva Kristlova
Well done for your interest in yoga! Now let’s get started!
Yoga is beneficial on so many levels: physically, mentally and emotionally, and especially now, as we are navigating through these challenging times, it is needed more than ever! Yoga will bring you peace, clarity, increased strength and flexibility as well as helping you through this journey called life. And you don’t have to be flexible to begin; you don’t have to change anything about who you are.
Yoga is not only about the physical postures (asana). These are only the tip of the iceberg. The practice also has a deep spiritual component; it is a way for you to get to know yourself.
The most beautiful part of the practice is that it truly is for everyone. Providing support, it can lift you and hold you and help you to explore and get to know yourself. Yoga can really transform your life.The practice of yoga welcomes everyone, in every phase of life. It honours our bodies, it reminds us to breathe, it quietens our busy mind.
