The beauty of yoga is that it not only works your muscles it also
allows you to get to know you better. This journey is about you and
your practice and as time goes on you will learn more about yourself
and the way your own body moves. We call this ‘body awareness’. It
is so important to start listening to your body. If a yoga pose doesn’t
feel like it’s doing you any good, it probably isn’t helping you. This is
where the technique cues I will give become even more important.
A lot of people will tell me that they are not ‘good’ at yoga or
they are too inflxible to start yoga.

If you think like that, you will never start yoga. I believe that there is no perfect pose, we all have
different body types and shapes so we will all look different in them
and be at different stages. As long as you are safe and you can feel
the stretch, I am happy. I was inflxible too. I couldn’t touch my toes
in February 2012. It is possible and it can be done as long as you are
safe, consistent and smart about your practice.

How often should I practice?

The more often the better, it is important to vary your yoga sessions
in terms of intensity and duration. The minimum I would say you
should practice is 3 times a week for 30-60 minutes per session (even
up to 90 minutes) to see progress. The beauty of yoga is that it can
be done every day, so don’t worry!

How long should I hold the poses for ?

Typically books will say between 15-30 seconds (about 5 deep inhales
and exhales). I don’t believe in a one-size fits all approach, I want
you to hold the stretch until you feel like it eases off or releases. Try
to reach that ‘comfortable edge’ in your poses. Repetition is key in
opening up the body, you should aim to repeat the poses at least 3
times throughout your session, if not more.

Does yoga make you sore?

Contrary to popular belief, yoga does actually make you sore. Don’t
freak out, these poses are working your muscles just like you do when
you workout. It’s normal to feel sore the next day. As long as you don’t
have any shooting pains or numbness, you aren’t doing any damage.
