new comers to yoga

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 .
