Yoga for Beginners | 60 min Beginner Yoga Class | Yoga with Dr. Melissa West 251

http://www.melissawest.com/251/ For show notes click on the link above In this 1 hour beginner yoga class we will look at how far we should go in beginning yoga poses. If the physical sensation in your body is so strong that it is all that you are able to focus on, then even your beginning yoga routine and the most gentle yoga can lead to injury and you are probably pushing yourself too hard. If you are bored by yoga exercises for beginners, then it is time to connect with your body and feel what is happening in a deeper way in your beginner yoga poses. This beginning yoga sequence includes yoga for hips such as figure four or keyhole stretch, easy pose, Goddess Victory Squat and head beyond knee pose. This beginning yoga routine also include yoga for neck and shoulder pain including cat pose, gate pose, ear to shoulder sequences, and supported shoulderstand. There are even yoga exercises for beginner that will help with back pain including keyhole stretch, bridge pose, cat pose, gate pose, and chair pose. Enjoy! Finding that just right place between too much and too little experience in a yoga posture can make a huge difference between your yoga class seeming too easy, too hard or too boring and makes you your own best teacher. It is up to you to find the position in your body where you are fully engaged – that is experiencing sensation in your body – something is happening – whether you are doing the pose for the first time or the millionth time. How much is enough is a worthwhile question in every single yoga posture as a way of opening the doors of awareness to sensation in your body, where something is happening in the belly of your muscles, your joints are free from pain and you are able to explore that sensation with curiosity with ease and steadiness. When we ask ourselves how much is too much, how little is not enough? Physically, our yoga postures can help us to build strength, flexibility, balance and endurance in our lives. All of these components can be taken to an excess in our yoga asana/posture practice. Today’s class is about exploring the dance between too much and not enough in your yoga practice. The potential entanglement of boredom, entertainment and distraction through your yoga asana/posture practice.
