Yoga Guidelines

a Beginner's Manual for Yoga

1. The most important lesson here is to learn to listen to your body, mind and spirit. We do this by paying close attention to the breath. The stretches are a tool to retrain your body and mind to breathe with more ease and experience more joy.

2. Do not engage in negative dialogue with yourself as you explore the poses.

3. Practice compassion towards yourself and others. No judgments or expectations.

4. When you feel discomfort or pain, stop. Yoga is about sensation, not pain.

5. If you feel dizzy or nauseous while practicing, stop. If you feel any tingling or numbing sensation while practicing, stop.

6. If you are pregnant, please visit our Yoga for Pregnancy pages.

7. Drinks lots of water after your yoga practice.

8. Don’t take it too seriously, have fun!

9. Make YogaEverywhere your start page.

10. Tell your friends about this site. The more breath, the more awareness. The more awareness the more compassion.

Let's start by inhaling slowly, smile, and exhale completely, turning your attention inward and listening to what your body needs. Now pick your practice from our dropdown menu above and let's begin.

Knowledge is gained by learning; trust by doubt; skill by PRACTICE; love by love. - Thomas Szasz
