Where to start doing yoga? - Start with theory. Don't rush to the yoga room. A couple of free evenings READ something about yoga - better not one, but different, "a little bit of everything." Agree that you should not rush headlong into a serious event that will take you years, if not decades, without setting goals, and without outlining a picture of "what is it in general terms"? Choose a style and teacher as seriously as you would choose a college for your child. I am sure this is the most useful yoga advice in the world. It’s not how to quickly get stretching or gain muscle strength. Start with theory right away. Then, when you start practicing (and especially if you start to succeed), you will no longer be up to it.

1.     WHAT IS YOGA? 

In order not to get confused in the abundance of modern styles ** and directions of yoga, it is worthwhile to study a little the theory of yoga, it will not take much time and will give a clear vision of the situation, without "filters" of commerce on the one hand, and religiosity and sectarianism, on the other. In yoga, initially and to this day, there are only 4 branches: these are Hatha Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Bhakti Yoga and Karma Yoga *. All yoga styles, both ancient and modern, belong to one of these large groups. Belonging to one of them decides a lot: this is terminology, and philosophy, and practices, and teachers, and even, sometimes, intermediate goals - all this is different in different traditions.

In short, in essence:

Hatha     Yogis achieve their goals by performing special static postures (asanas),     breathing exercises (pranayamas), special positions of the body and hands     (mudras), and meditation (concentration);

jnana     - (aka "raja") yoga - through special meditations and meditative     exercises for the mind;

bhakti-yoga     - complete devotion to the highest goal of yoga (Enlightenment) and total     emotional / mental inspiration (absorption) by this one goal;

karma     yoga - performing all and any actions without the desire for any result,     i.e. aimlessly, disinterestedly.

Having understood this (very roughly outlined by me, for the purpose of clarification) structure, any beginner can immediately understand what he likes best, and will also be able to distinguish a true yoga teacher from a false one, and "normal", adequate and holistic in terms of influence, yoga - from "Yoga pyramids" and sects, or physical education with an Indian accent. Consider the fact that nowadays such general terms as, for example, "Ashtanga Yoga", "Kundalini Yoga", "Bhakti Yoga", "Tantra" and others have become brands of copyright "styles" are used with commercial goals and have lost their true meaning.

 PRACTICE:

Read     the articles "Yoga", "Ashtanga Raja Yoga", "Yoga     Sutras of Patanjali", "Chakras" on Wikipedia or in another     encyclopedia - after spending just 1 hour, you will get a general, and not     distorted, idea of ​​yoga in general.

If     you have more time and desire to learn about yoga, check out the blog     material "What to read about yoga?" and read something from     the list given there.

2.     How to avoid injury during yoga? 

The question of the safety and usefulness of yoga practice is one of the first, no matter what style of yoga you are interested in! We recommend:

It is necessary to start studying Hatha Yoga under the direct guidance of a "live" teacher (then, if you want, you will study independently, online or from books and videos - but not at the beginning).

As early as possible in the practice of Hatha, you should learn to listen to your body, and not just do the exercises. And then perform all the exercises at your level, and as far as the body's capabilities at every moment of time, NOT looking at the explanations of the teacher or the recommendations of the book / video / online course, etc. Nobody, even the best teacher, will tell you exactly what you should or shouldn't do, and how, except your own body!

Do yogic cleansing of the body - "Shatkarma". They will help to cope with body stiffness and soreness from asanas.

Diversify the practice with different "styles" and schools of yoga. Repetitive movements, especially if performed with minor errors, can be extremely destructive to the body. The solution to the problem is diversity.

Don't let anyone actively influence your body. The correction of a good yoga teacher lies in the world-corrections of the body position, and not in the fact that a person has piled on you with his weight, or pulls your hand / leg "to the touch." You should be advised on how to improve your posture yourself.

Learn to relax. At first, you will have a lot of tension in your body. So that it does not accumulate, master the techniques of deep relaxation IMMEDIATELY - already at first. This is, first of all, a long (from 10 minutes and more) Shavasana and Yoga Nidra (materials 1 and 2).

Plus, read the feature article on our blog.

3.     How to choose a yoga style? 

This is very important at first, and we have already discussed this in detail in the blog earlier.

4.     How to choose yoga clothes? 

This will largely determine how you feel about the practice and even your state of mind. So this is not the last question. Fortunately, the "Hanuman" store has a large selection of quality yoga clothes, for every style and for every taste, for men and women. For useful tips, again - refer you to the blog material.

5.     How  to care for your yoga mat? 

Again, the question is trivial at first glance, but not superfluous. After all, the convenience in practice, as well as the aesthetics and hygiene of the rug - your most important "props" in yoga - should be far from last. Again, the Hanuman website store will help you decide on the choice of a yoga mat.

6.     How to adjust your diet as a yogi eat? 

Timely, adequate body constitution (Dosha) and full, balanced nutrition will largely determine your success in yoga: at first, it will give flexibility and lightness to the body, and in the future, it will ensure success in pranayama, as well as clarity of mind and concentration. Adequate nutrition also allows you to avoid wear and tear of joints and other body tissues from yoga practice, allows you to quickly restore muscles and strength, which means you can practice more often and longer, do not get tired and do not feel sad! At the beginning of the practice, nutrition for yogis does not differ from just "healthy eating", but taking into account the modern discoveries of dietetics. Study this question carefully and thoroughly.

7.     The most important component of successful yoga practice  

is "Abhyasa" or "constancy" of practice, ie. continuity, regularity of training. Better to practice every day for 15 minutes than once a week for 3 hours in a row! We also talked about how to start practicing daily.
