Yoga for beginners
Ready to learn some beginner yoga postures? Let’s get started.
For many people, learning yoga postures is about getting fit and in shape. While there are undeniable physical benefits to yoga,
the true purpose of yoga goes far beyond losing weight, putting on muscle or becoming flexible. Yoga postures, or asanas, have a much deeper impact on you, as Sadhguru explains below:
“If you observe yourself, when you are angry, you sit one way. If you are happy, you sit another way. If you are depressed, another way. For every level of consciousness or mental and emotional situation you go through, your body tends to take certain postures. The converse of this is the science of asanas.
If you consciously get your body into different postures, you can elevate your consciousness. Understanding the mechanics of the body, creating a certain atmosphere, and using the body to drive your energy in specific directions is what yogasanas are about.” – Sadhguru
Yoga offers tremendous possibilities, but it also demands discipline and precision. Improper yoga could cause more harm than benefit.
