Simple Yoga Tips

If you are a Yoga follower, great, continue your practice daily, even if you have just 10 minutes a day. Try to incorporate some Asanas and Pranayam in a daily schedule. If you have very limited time, try different asanas each day. On one day only standing asanas, next day only sitting asanas, next day lying asanas and so on.

Also, you can try alternate pranayama to accommodate all breathing exercises. also, you can choose pranayama according to the season, for e.g. avoid sheetali pranayama on cold days. Avoid Surya pranayama in summer.

2. When we are discussing balance, one pranayama which is immensely helpful is Anulom vilom Pranayama. The main function of this pranayama is balancing breaths. Simultaneously, it also helps you to balance your overall response to different situations.

Anulomvilom is alternative breathing through left and right nostril which symbolizes Moon and Sun, Ida and Pingla Nadi. When we balance this main two breathing Nadis, automatically you train your whole system to be in balance.

AnulomVilom not only balances your breaths but balances male and female energies and make a person more balanced.

Balancing Asanas

Another important tip for getting a better balance in your life is to practice balancing asanas daily. As the name suggests it train your brain to balance you, which also help you balance yourself more confidently in difficult situations of life.

Though balancing asanas are difficult to perform, always try with the simplest form of balancing asanas like Tadasana or Mountain Pose.

Gradually, you can move to more complex asanas, but it is not at all important to do complex asanas to get preferred results.
