How do I start yoga? And what are the benefits of yoga?
What is Yoga
The word yoga means union and is intended here is the union between the energies of the body, mind and spirit
There are eight branches of yoga. Yama, Nyama, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Darna, Diana and Samadi. On this page you will be focusing on asana. Asana, which means positivism or form is said to be yoga exercises that have been famous in the whole world in recent decades. The goal of asana or yoga exercises is to maintain a healthy body to help control the mind and, therefore, get closer to the soul
Yoga is suitable for everyone regardless of age, size, body flexibility or health status. If you have a specific disease, ask your doctor first or learn yoga with a specialist teacher
Asana is not the only position we practice mechanically. Asana performance requires thought and ultimately a balance between movement and resistance is reached

: How to Start Yoga Practice
Find a private yoga teacher in your city. I personally noticed that this is the best way to learn yoga properly
Attend different yoga classes and try different types of yoga. I experimented with most species and in the end I found Ingar Yoga is the best fit for me. There are many varieties including Hatha, Ingar, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Kundalini, Yin Yoga, and many more. Try different teachers and ask about the experience and knowledge of your teacher and your experience. As Mr Ingar says, it is your responsibility to ensure that the teacher is a good teacher
If the above two options are not achievable for you, you can start practicing yoga online but you have to be careful. In my case
When I was practicing yoga online I made a lot of mistakes without knowing even though the instructions in the video were fairly detailed
Yoga teaches us to deal with money that cannot be tolerated and what cannot be tackled - Mr. Aingar

: Correct your stay in yoga postures when you practice on your own
Since there is no person or teacher to correct your posture you can film yourself or practice yoga by the mirror so that you can increase your awareness of your body and the mistakes you make, but we should not do yoga by the mirror all the time and it may distract our focus
Learn about your body and the mistakes you make continuously
Use wall and support tools such as block, belt, cushions, chairs and yoga mat
Buy books and read information about each yoga position carefully between each period and the period in which these positions are practiced
Some tips to practice yoga safely and properly
It is better to practice yoga on a daily basis in order to turn it into a habit that is easy to adhere to, and remember what Aristotel said “through discipline comes freedom” with restraint we feel the true happiness and freedom of our soul going beyond the lusts and pleasures of life.
Set aside a certain time and place to practice yoga every day, knowing it's best to practice early in the morning while your body is energetic and net mind. You can also exercise in the evening in case your muscles are too stiff in the morning
Practice on an empty stomach. Wait at least one hour after a snack and at least four hours after a fatty meal
Always practice barefoot yoga without socks or shoes
Bathed before and after yoga exercises to stimulate the body and mind
Focus each part of your body in the final position to exercise and extend yourself throughout your body
Your yoga exercises should be appropriate for your physical condition, mental state, age, and time of day
For females, you should not exercise any of the coup positions on menstrual days
In each position we must check the integrity of the body and the correct use of all body parts in the position. When I do yoga, I like to start with my toes, ankles, legs, knees, and so on until I reach the eyebrows and then the forehead.
If you experience any pain, know you are doing something wrong. Go to a doctor or chiropractor or call an experienced yoga teacher for help
Online yoga is not the best solution but I believe that something is better than nothing. Follow the instructions and tips you wrote above and if you can travel when you enter the yoga lesson do not hesitate
