1. Knowledge is the key. Before getting started, you may first want to know about the various types of poses.
2. Relevance is important, too. As you read about the various poses, it is important to understand their relevance for your body and explore what you’re comfortable with. Don’t overdo anything and never experiment.
3. Have a beginner’s attitude. Within a few months, you will be covering various aspects of yoga and may even be able to share a top or two with your loved ones, but always try to incorporate a “beginner’s mind” and shed any preconceived notions about what you’re about to experience. Give yourself a chance to be surprised.
4. Breathe normally and relax. If your breath becomes more relaxed and natural at the end of the session, your efforts would have been fruitful. As a thumb rule, whenever in doubt, just prolong your breath. Getting stressed out before a yoga session may not be productive and you may end up disappointing yourself.
5. Try to start off by watching a video or using a podcast. This means that you may want to try out the pose even as you’re watching the video to stay ahead of your goals. This will ease off any nerves you’re having about the poses, especially if you plan to attend a class. If you’re a beginner, always go for the basic poses first before trying out anything else.
