YOGA Techniques:
YOGA should be done only after fully understanding the pose plus the way to perform the yoga. Here are few techniques that you should know while practicing yoga:
1.       Learn the ASANA: learn step by step. Don’t rush yourself and don’t hesitate in giving a shot to learn and then master the pose.
2.       Breathe and breathe: while following the steps of YOGA you should understand that every posture demands inhalation/exhalation of air from your body. Along with learning steps, also learn the time of breath. If breathing is done correctly it will improve your posture, you feel ease in performing steps for longer time.
3.       Never push yourself hard: remember that you are doing YOGA to get benefitted and not to punish yourself. If you find your performance is not as good as it should be, than you needs to practice only. Practice will improve your posture and ultimately you will get the desired benefits.
4.       Concentrate: start YOGA with a positive mind frame and concentrate on what you desire. Try to free your mind for some time from external world and relax.
