Yoga seems like a hot new trend, but yoga actually began more than 3,000 years ago in India. The word yoga means “to unite mind, body and spirit”. Although yoga includes physical exercise, it is more of a lifestyle, while physical exercise is just a part of it. Training your mind, body and breath are the main goals of the yoga lifestyle. Yoga has lots of benefits. It can improve strength, balance and patience. In addition, many people who practice yoga say yoga can reduce anxiety and stress, and even help them sleep better.
Many gyms and community centers offer yoga class. Your neighborhood may also have a yoga training center. Some yoga teachers offer private classes for students who want more professional training. You could also try using a yoga DVD. Websites, DVDs and books can’t compare to learning yoga from a teacher, but can help you find out more. They can be especially helpful if you have already taken yoga classes and went to practice at home.
Remember to dress some comfortable clothes that allow you to move your body fully. Shorts or pants and a T-shirt are good choices. Yoga is practiced with bare feet, so you don’t have to worry about special shoes. Before you begin any type of exercise program, it’s a good idea to talk to your doctor, especially if you have a health problem.
