Yoga Stretches: Free Video, Triangle Pose

Yoga Exercises – Flexibility is NOT hard if you know which poses to practice and how to practice. On top of that, you just need to make sure that you’re getting 6 specific nutrients that promote elasticity in the body’s connective tissues.

PRACTICE HARD
Many yoga teachers (myself included), will tell you to take it easy, be safe, and take your time. This is good advice that should be followed, but I’d also recommend that you practice hard.

What I mean is show up to class, listen to your teacher, and do as he or she says. Read books, try postures at home, wake up early, roll out your mat, and practice, practice, practice! Yoga can work miracles, but you have to work too.

HEAL FAST
Some part of my body is usually a little sore from yoga—but there is a big difference between soreness and pain. Soreness is good, pain is bad.

To overcome your general yoga soreness, keep practicing—but practice more gently. Don’t stretch so deeply and modify postures as needed.

Taking extended time off from practice is never beneficial.

The rule “if you don’t use it, you lose it,” certainly holds true with yoga, but over zealous students have been known to blow out their knees, pull hamstrings, and slip disks in their back. This is serious pain that could keep you off your yoga mat for a REALLY long time, so practice continuously, but safely.

NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS
In an ideal world, we’d get all the healing nutrients we need from the foods we eat, but our food is no longer the nutrient-dense fuel source it once was (depleted soils, genetic engineering, etc.).
