There are questions that one may ask if they are contemplating integrating Yoga into their life as I did:
How will Yoga benefit my life?
Practicing Yoga will connect and awaken body, mind and spirit to be able to work the best for you. Developing a regular yoga practice helps to endure your daily stressors with a lasting sense of calm regardless of what you circumstances. Linking the breath with focus and movement helps cleanse the body of both physical and emotional toxins to help you become more centered and have a more healthy body and mind.
What is the best way to start a your Yoga practice?
First you need to find a competent teacher who has knowledge, insight, training, experience and the ability to to explain the poses and help you get into the them with perfect alignment to the best of your ability, using hands on adjustments as needed. This will help you understand the basis of a yoga practice and how to approach your new practice. I have found that Bodhi Yoga Center is a great place to be.
Will doing Yoga conflict with my belief system?
The goal of practicing Yoga is to create balance. If you allow Yoga to make it's change in you it will deepen your positive relationships and beliefs and create a well toned body, more focused mind and peaceful emotions and spirit. In other words, yoga can help you understand "yourself" and deepen what you already believe is true for you.
