Yoga Benefits
http://www.lifepositive.com/Body/yoga/yoga-benefits.asp
Yoga For Beginner realizes that the many benefits of yoga are foreign to most people in the Western world. This is not the case. Regular practice of asanas, pranayama and meditation can help such diverse ailments such as diabetes, blood pressure, digestive disorders, arthritis, arteriosclerosis, chronic fatigue, asthma, varicose veins and heart conditions.
The benefits are many, and the person in the know realizes that this ancient discipline is worthwhile to pursue.

Yoga Basics: Yoga for Beginners
Yoga Basics: Yoga for Beginners
Yoga For Beginner recognizes that yoga is not only physically demanding at times, but that yoga always stresses that the benefit of yoga comes from union of the body and spirit. Yoga can at times put unnatural stress on the limbs and trunk, especially if you are a beginner.
Knowing this, the yogis always insist that a person practice shavasana, or the corpse posture, after a workout.
This article will inform the beginner on how this is accomplished.

Yoga For Beginner has long seen the controversy about Yoga and its practice. I recently researched and wrote an article about the Christian viewpoint on yoga, and was very surprised in what I learned. (See the article at http://www.benefitofyoga.blogspot.com).
Yoga is not an occult or cult's practice unless you view it as such. Although I respect the Christian viewpoint concerning yoga, I am constantly reminded that yoga is a way of life, and its practice is meant only to be beneficial.
this article deals with the stages of yoga. It is a good read for the beginning yogi.

Yoga For Beginner is well aware that Yoga has come to the forefront in western society mainly because it deals with ancient maladies that are even more relevant today.
Take insomnia for example. One hundred years ago, this would never be an issue like it is today.
But in this supercharged world, that is even reflected in TV commercials, being on the run constantly is the norm, rather than the exception.
In this article by Carrie Angus, MD, she discusses Ayurveda, the healing science associated with yoga, and the causes of stress and indigestion on the system.

It Helps to be stiff to do yoga
Yoga for beginner stresses that anyone is capable of doing the postures and mind-clearing exercises. In this article, the author discusses the person's lack of flexibility for not attempting yoga, and dispels the myth that you have to learn to "tie yourself into a pretzel" to accomplish the yoga postures.
Emphasis is on breathing and learning to clear your mind, which to my POV is probably the most important aspect of yoga.
We need to begin to follow the path to wellness. What better way to start?

I try not to make a habit of posting to the blog more than once a day - ("fear of Google!") but this just can't wait.
I ran across this page while searching Technorati for relevant content on a research paper I am doing. The research led me to this page.
I am very impressed with what these New Zelander's are doing for the promotion of yoga. They offer not only a DVD for free but also have an interactive section showing the proper way to do beginning poses.
It is definitely worth a look. Although the DVD is free, it is a huge download (790 MB) and if you don't have DSL, it can take a while. Remember, FREE is good!
Please think about donating these good people a bit for their efforts. They take donations through Paypal - chump change actually - and it is well worth it. Just remember, it is a donation! It is still free...

Benefit Of Yoga - 3 Steps To Daily Practice
Yoga is not hard to learn, but it takes discipline to maintain the effort. Like every good thing, yoga requires patience to learn the skills, and dedication to continue the practice. There are no shortcuts to yoga - either you learn and follow the discipline, or you fail.
1. Daily Routine of Practice.
Have a fixed procedure for practice each day. A good way to start is through meditation, which should be a part of your daily routine, anyway. One must prepare the mind and spirit, clearing it of unnecessary trivial matter to begin their practice.
Meditation is very easy to perform. I have found the biggest key to meditation is establishing both a routine and a ritual. You must be able to set aside a minimum of 15 minutes each day for meditation, and the best time for beginners is in the morning upon rising. At this time, your mind is not full from the day's activities, nor is it cluttered with any worries or cares. A sense of a new beginning is upon you, and you look forward to your day.
Ritual is important in that it brings a sense of "rightness" to your meditation. We learn meditation the best through practice and repetition. Items such as a special prayer rug, used only for meditation, is important. Also of great importance is utilizing the same Asana (posture) for your meditative practice. I always meditate facing East, facing the family altar that graces the east wall of my studio.
Later on in your practice, you may find that slipping into a meditative state is very easy to do. But for beginners in meditation, setting a ritual and schedule for your practice is of utmost importance.
2. Setting A Resolve. Vow to give up bad habits like harming or hurting other beings, telling lies, and hurting others; be mindful of these things and vow to give them up. This cannot be accomplished overnight. The important thing here is awareness. Learn to be mindful of these negative aspects in your life. You will benefit from the awareness if nothing else.
3. A Spiritual Diary. When you go to bed each night, review what you have done since morning. This diary may consist of questions you may ask yourself about your actions of the day. "Did I hurt anyone's feelings today?" Did I let anger take control of me?" "Was I insensitive to my partner's feelings and wishes?" By doing this on a regular basis, you become more aware of your environment, and of others around you. Each night before going to bed, I set aside 15 minutes to write the thoughts and cares of the day in my journal. It has been a practice for me for over 50 years, and it helps me put to rest the problems of the day before retiring.
Begin with these methods. By making the effort to begin your practice correctly, you will make great progress towards serious Sadhana, or practice of Yoga. And when your efforts are realized, you will find the peace, harmony and special spiritual joy in your life...

1. Daily Routine of Practice.
Have a fixed procedure for practice each day. A good way to start is through meditation, which should be a part of your daily routine, anyway. One must prepare the mind and spirit, clearing it of unnecessary trivial matter to begin their practice.
Meditation is very easy to perform. I have found the biggest key to meditation is establishing both a routine and a ritual. You must be able to set aside a minimum of 15 minutes each day for meditation, and the best time for beginners is in the morning upon rising. At this time, your mind is not full from the day's activities, nor is it cluttered with any worries or cares. A sense of a new beginning is upon you, and you look forward to your day.
Ritual is important in that it brings a sense of "rightness" to your meditation. We learn meditation the best through practice and repetition. Items such as a special prayer rug, used only for meditation, is important. Also of great importance is utilizing the same Asana (posture) for your meditative practice. I always meditate facing East, facing the family altar that graces the east wall of my studio.
Later on in your practice, you may find that slipping into a meditative state is very easy to do. But for beginners in meditation, setting a ritual and schedule for your practice is of utmost importance.
2. Setting A Resolve. Vow to give up bad habits like harming or hurting other beings, telling lies, and hurting others; be mindful of these things and vow to give them up. This cannot be accomplished overnight. The important thing here is awareness. Learn to be mindful of these negative aspects in your life. You will benefit from the awareness if nothing else.
3. A Spiritual Diary. When you go to bed each night, review what you have done since morning. This diary may consist of questions you may ask yourself about your actions of the day. "Did I hurt anyone's feelings today?" Did I let anger take control of me?" "Was I insensitive to my partner's feelings and wishes?" By doing this on a regular basis, you become more aware of your environment, and of others around you. Each night before going to bed, I set aside 15 minutes to write the thoughts and cares of the day in my journal. It has been a practice for me for over 50 years, and it helps me put to rest the problems of the day before retiring.
Begin with these methods. By making the effort to begin your practice correctly, you will make great progress towards serious Sadhana, or practice of Yoga. And when your efforts are realized, you will find the peace, harmony and special spiritual joy in your life...
