As I am writing this I have a visitor sitting on the top of my page .
our budgie, his name is faith. we brought him in at the tender age of nine days old, because he had been rejected by his mum , for one simple reason he was the runt of the clutch and she simply couldn't cope with one more. all these years later faith is still a delight and a real character .
anyhow I have digressed .
people who are new comers to yoga then this post is for you .
When you decide to start yoga for the first time, either at home , or go to yoga classes, this is what you should do .
Always consult your Dr before you start any form of exercise once your Dr has agreed to you doing yoga as your choice of exercise .
This is a must if you are going to a yoga class . you need to tell your yoga instructor of any health problems you have, and they will help you accordingly .That's what yoga instructors are there for , yoga instructors don't bite they are very approachable .
if you decide to do yoga at home this what you will need to do ,
choose a yoga DVD, that starts you off at the beginners level ,then intermediate level .
this is what I have done . and I find it brilliant , there are also tons of yoga books that will teach you from beginners to advanced , yoga is for all ages and there are yoga books to suit any age .
we now have this covered. this is what you will need , if you are going to a yoga class , or doing yoga at home .
first and foremost a Yoga mat .
loose fitting clothing, this is for comfort and flexibility .
a towel or blanket to keep you warm, when you are
in the meditation stage of your yoga class.
a bottle of water because in a yoga class they take frequent breaks
you will need your water , trust me because you do get thirsty.
I recommend you have a hot shower or bath after your yoga workout
and use Radox shower/ bath gel and a bath sponge, to soothe those muscles you have not worked before .
I can guarantee you will feel great afterwards and wont be as sore the next day .
I also recommend you do this for at least the first week , when you start yoga for the first time .
Always take yoga at your own pace ,yoga is not a race .
stop when you need to stop .
try yoga twice a week at first , then try yoga three times a week and so on .
Its best you get yourself into a routine with yoga, wether at a yoga class or at home .
once you start yoga you will never look back .
yoga is the greatest gift you can ever give yourself .
{NOTE} you must never go below your waistline if you have blood pressure }

its a sad day for us today, last night , we lost a beautiful lady.
