a beginner’s guide to yoga

🧘‍♀️ what is yoga?

putting it briefly, yoga is a mindfulness and spiritual practice that connects the mind, body, and breath through physical movement and poses called “asanas.”

🧘‍♀️ benefits of yoga

yoga has some incredible benefits for both the mind and body, including:

reducing mental stress and calming the mind

improving flexibility and mobility

working and strengthening even the small muscles in the body

improving circulation and heart health

allowing you to be present and mindful

improving balance and coordination

activating or calming the nervous system

reducing body pain

improving range of motion and joint health

🧘‍♀️ different types of yoga

there are many different types of yoga, each with their own unique benefits. here are just a few you may start with:

vinyasa

hatha

ashtanga

yin

restorative

🧘‍♀️ where do i start?

if you do not feel ready to go to a class or you do not have a studio near you, there are many classes you can follow on youtube! here are a few channels on youtube i really like:

akshaya agnes

boho beautiful yoga

charlie follows

gayatri yoga

jessica richburg

the glow method

yoga with kassandra

yoga with kate amber

🧘‍♀️ personal tips

start slow! i say this in all of my workout posts when i give advice, but i promise it is important. pushing yourself too far in the beginning will only injure you, so don’t be afraid to take it easy at first.

don’t judge yourself. it’s much easier said than done when you see people who have been practicing for years and seem like they can do everything, but everyone has things that they struggle with. i’ve been practicing yoga consistently for 5 years now and there are still things that i struggle with, so don’t be too hard on yourself.

going alone with the tip above, have a sense of humor about your journey. if you fall, it’s perfectly fine. it happens to the best of us! as long as you stay safe and get back up and keep trying, you’re doing great.

switch it up! as mentioned above, there are many types of yoga, and the ones i named are just a few. don’t be afraid to try different types! i used to hate yin because i found it even harder than the more flow-y sequences, but now it’s one of my favorites. it’s always good to get some variety in your practice and you may end up loving something you thought you would hate!

I just know, in my heart of hearts, that those men can bench press a bull but have zeeeeero flexibility/mobility because they don't train it. Pigeon pose? Can barely get their elbows on the floor. Half splits? More like quarter splits. Camel pose? They have already given up.

Cue: yogi/dancer reader, determined to get them to take care of their bodies by teaching the powers of Stretching Properly. And maybe also showing off a little bit...

yoga! reader is brought on to teach the boys how to manage stress through wellness exercises. they’re just so used to the rough and tumble, the physical demands that beat them to a pulp, that it’s almost a necessity at this point. like yeah, they’re complete units, but that doesn’t account for shit when their backs ache so bad in their 30’s and their knees pop every time they crouch – not to mention, how high their blood pressure is from all the exertion.

you’re the top instructor in the region, vetted by laswell and sent to base twice a week to host 90-minute ashtanga classes. which is a form of yoga that doubles as an excellent introduction into flexibility and posturing, or so you tell the begrudging men upon meeting them

though i can't stop picturing what type of student each of them would be–

gaz is a teachers pet, without a doubt. not lacking the reservations the others hold, but willing to try once he sees you bend over in a pair of skin-tight leggings the first time. brings you water and snack bars without having to ask. is the first to arrive to your sessions, even earlier than you do sometimes, and rolls his mat out right behind yours (which he claims is the best spot to get a sense of what you're doing – uncontested, seeing as he mimics you perfectly every time – but it's really because it has the best view of your ass). starts practicing alone in his room so he can impress you with a super cool pose that he totally didn't get off the internet, and ends up spraining his wrist because said pose actually isn't meant for rookies like him! pouts when you scold him the next day – there's a reason i didn't teach it, garrick – and spends the rest of the month sulking after you demote him to simple stretches.

soap doesn't try to hide his intentions. he's outwardly flirty in every capacity imaginable. the logic is, if he's being forced to come here, why pretend he's interested in anything other than the pretty thing teaching him? will pull up in the sluttiest shorts imaginable – i'm talking the tightest hoochie daddy pair in his closet – and a white undershirt, every muscle flexed to its limits. flashes you a big smile when you roll your eyes at his appearance and asks if you'd like to touch them. nae many men are built lik' me, bonnie. might nae git this chance again. definitely pretends to struggle to beckon your attention, despite being the most flexible of the 141. throws a fuss every time you instruct them to take a pyramid pose, complains until you personally position him. huffs and groans as your hands pull his legs the correct distance apart, taking note of the flustered furrow of your brow so when he approaches you after class, he has something to build his advances off of.

price pretends he's far above this whole affair, even though he's the one who needs it the most. will chuckle condescendingly when you ask why he's just sitting to the side, a cigar in hand as he 'supervises' the activities. don' get me wrong, lovie. s'sweet how dedicated you are. but i'm not subscribing to none of this... mm, business. you think it's a masculinity thing – older men are usually more averse to embracing yoga, seeing as it's a female-dominated exercise and they were raised in households that barred that sort of thing. in reality, price is just hesitant to make a fool of himself in front of his men. his joints creak when he moves and he can't touch his toes without toppling over, never mind contorting into intricate poses. the misunderstanding sets off more than one disagreement, and after a particularly rough day – wherein the two of you hashed it out in front of everybody – he starts to feel a tiny bit guilty. you're trying so hard, after all, driving out all this way to help some poor sods get over their physical impediments. so he opts to catch you on your way out to the parking lot, confessing the real reason why his participation is lacking before inviting you to his office for a private session.

ghost doesn't show up. no, seriously. you never see him, though you're aware of his absence; your attendance lists four soldiers, after all. you give him the benefit of the doubt for three weeks before reporting to laswell of his failure to meet expectations – only to be accosted by a big man in a skull balaclava on your way out. if y'wanted to me to watch you bend over so badly, pet, all you had ta do was ask.

I have been thinking of getting into yoga lately. Are yoga poses able to quiet the mind? Especially the ones of youtube? I'm a bit skeptical about it because i don't see people talking about using it to realize self.

Of course it can! From a western point of view, yoga is often only known as a physical exercise but actually, yoga is so much more than that and there are many forms of yoga. My favourite is yoga nidra because you just lie in corpse pose and do nothing (besides following audio instruction to move awareness across various body parts), it's basically meditation. If you're interested in this, then I advise you to be wary of a lot of the youtube recordings because a lot of them are not authentic yoga nidra, you're not actually supposed to fall asleep from doing it but I kept falling asleep because the teacher wasn't actually giving yoga nidra instructions lol.

Yoga is a group of physical, mental, and spiritual practices or disciplines which originated in ancient India and aim to control and still the mind, recognizing a detached witness-consciousness untouched by the mind and mundane suffering. - Wikipedia

Yoga postures (asanas) is the third limb of the eight limbs of yoga from the ancient Yoga Sutra texts. It can also be used as a way to freedom/self-realization.

Yoga is the stilling of the fluctuations of the mind.  The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali (fourth century CE) give us tools to still those fluctuations, with Ashtanga Yoga, the eight limbs of Yoga: Yama (restraints), Niyama (observances), Asana (posture), Pranayama (control of breath), Dharana (concentration), Pratyahara (sense withdrawal), Dhyana (meditation) and Samadhi (undeviated absorption). Source (I suggest you read this)

Also just try whatever you feel led to and then you'll see whether it works for you or not. You got the idea of yoga for a reason. You don't need anyone's confirmation nor need other people to have done it or succeeded in it for it to work for you. You don't need to do what's already been done before either in order to personally succeed in what you want. Be your own scientist!

My relationship with this pose has changed and evolved over many years of practice. At first it seemed absolutely impossible. Just thinking about it seemed to play tricks on my mind. I couldn’t understand how it was biologically and anatomically feasible to survive. But then I tried under the guidance of my teacher and like magic the pathway started to open. Now it hasn’t been a steady progression. The pose disappeared for a little while and it took new technique to bring it back. As for today, my attitude is to practice with no expectation and see what happens as I listen to what my body wants to do. Which one do you prefer? 1 or 2? Keep practicing 🙏 Practice with me online @omstarsofficial this Wednesday at 1 pm ⚡️ Next workshops: Adjustment Clinic @miamilifecenter starts in February and I will be teaching in Laguna Beach, San Francisco, Malaysia, Vietnam, Taiwan and Cincinnati. Tidewater teal set @lululemon #lululemon #thesweatlife #lululemonambassador Day 20 #feelgoodflowchallenge is Viparita Shalabhasana. Sorry I’m late with the challenge.
