To avoid injuring oneself when practicing at home, it's better to stick to easy poses, such as: ** Stand with your feet together, step forward with your right foot, place your right hand on your right ankle, and lift your left arm in the sky, trying to keep your bust in line with your right leg. Carry out the same procedure on the other side. ** Kneel with your feet and knees together, then place your forehead on the ground in front of you and bring your arms to your sides, listening to your breathing. This is the child's position (balasana), which is good for alleviating stress in the lumbar area. Yoga does not require a lot of equipment, simply a mat for comfort. In some schools of yoga, like as Iyengar, "bolsters," which are large cousins on which one may rest a section of the body, are used. The yoga instructor must finish a minimum of 200 hours of training before continuing on to a 300-hour course to further his knowledge and enhance his teaching methods. Finally, yoga is a way of life as well as a comprehensive physical practice for both the body and the spirit. Yoga has actual advantages, not just in terms of increasing strength and flexibility, but also in terms of lowering tension and anxiety.
