Yoga is a great way to stay active and healthy, and it's never too late to start. If you're new to yoga or thinking about having a go at yoga, read our top six tips for beginners and get your practice off to the best start.

1.Choose a comfortable place

It would be ideal for your practice to choose a private corner for your yoga session at home where you will not be disturbed or come in the way of your family. Once you have found a space, it is important that you tidy up your yoga corner and clear away all unnecessary items. You can use room dividers or curtains to create a visual separation from the rest of the room. When furnishing your yoga corner or yoga room, use the lightest and most natural colors possible.

2.Stay hydrated

Hydration is crucial, regardless of the form of exercise you’ve chosen. Although it isn’t recommended to drink during yoga, there are some ways that you can stay hydrated throughout your practice. About an hour before class, for instance, start sipping a 16-ounce bottle of water. It can help you reach deeper into each pose without fainting. Don’t forget to drink another 20 ounces after you’ve finished your yoga class to replace fluids.

3.Wear comfortable clothing

You will be stretching and moving in all sorts of directions during your yoga practice, so you will want a supportive top and stretchy pants made from breathable materials with moisture-wicking features. Look for garments with stretchy fabrics and a relaxed fit to ensure you can move freely. Additionally, if it's a hot weather, wear light and breathable fabrics to stay cool. For slower styles of yoga, pick softer and more comfortable materials to help you relax.

4.Breathing

Yoga is all about finding a healthier, deeper harmony between our body and mind , and our breathing is central to this. Nasal breathing can help relieve stress and calm your mind. Breathe into your whole body in the poses, and relax. By breathing slowly and deeply, you increase circulation and reduce stress while stimulating your mind and body. Yogic breathing helps reduce the risk of injury, allowing your body to relax as it moves through different poses.

5.Practice regularly

Schedule your practice and try to practice two to three times a week. Little and often is more effective than occasional long sessions of yoga. Even 15 minutes a day of a few well-chosen poses can have a very positive effect on your physical, emotional and mental well-being. A regular discipline will reap more benefits, as that way the body begins to feel comfortable and familiar with the process and gradually becomes more flexible and subtly aware of the sensations.

6.Respect your body’s limitations

Yoga is purposeful, mindful, and fluid. Don’t push yourself to do anything that feels dangerous or wrong for you. Some poses are not to be practiced during early pregnancy, with certain injuries, or during menstruation, whereas other poses may be very helpful. Be aware of contraindications relevant to your specific circumstances. By moving slowly, you can continue to make sustainable progress as you practice.
