New to Yoga?

A great resource if you find yourself wanting to develop a home practice or to answer an alignment question about a particular yoga pose: Check out Yoga Journal's website (yogajournal.com) and go to "Basics". They review a number of yoga poses and go thru the building blocks of the pose.

Just remember...there is no perfect yoga pose!!! Listen to your body and modify as needed. All of the tips and adjustments are there to do 2 things... to keep your body/joints/muscles safe in a pose, and to help you gain maximum benefit from a pose. Most of us will never be Yoga Journal models...and that's just fine! Let go of judging yourself and compliment yourself instead....you are engaged in the practice and process of yoga!
