Tips for anyone starting Yoga

[maria-enqwowt]

My first down dog was plain brutal, I couldn't feel my shoulders the next day... which was probably fortunate😅
Five months in, yoga has made such a huge difference in my life, far greater and more thorough than I could have expected the first time I stepped onto my mat!

Most important (and most difficult!) thing for yoga beginners is to understand that it's NO sport, NO competition! There's no world championship in yoga like in any other sports😂. You do yoga only for yourself, starting where YOU are, working on YOUR limitations.

I have scoliosis and a partially fused spine. Yoga helps my back pain immensely, but I've had to learn my own limitations and how to modify for myself over time. I love your encouraging, inclusive message!

It's hard to do, but it's relaxing to do ❤

Love your counsel and how you flow from one pose to another. It's calming to watch. Then funny imagining me doing it. 😂

Charlie, your practice is so graceful! Its like watching a practiced dance routine or like water flowing softly yet powerfully in the mountains... so smooth. Hope to achieve that grace someday.❤

Thank you, Charlie! These are the words I need right now as a beginner in yoga.

I started with your videos about a week ago. Very enjoyable.

Thanks for this video and the words. The Words tell everything. Anatomical Advantages and Disadvantages are the key factor why many people hesitate to try Yoga.
Yoga is for everyone.
Try small and keep it as a routine daily for lifetime.
Till you die.

Thank you so much for these videos 😭💛 you're helping me evolve in my relationship with my body.

I do Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and love that yoga has no competition and no belts.

Thank you so much for your channel. I hope these truths are stated more throughout the yoga community. During my YTT 200 experience, it was so much about good yoga, bad yoga, or what constitutes real yoga. Good yoga being more about advanced postures and how impressive it looked. That's great for some yogis. I totally appreciate and find beauty in that type of practice. However, it's important empathize that every body is different. People practice yoga for many different reasons. How practicing yoga makes you feel internally and externally. It is a true journey to the self.

Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and kindness. Your videos are always informative and relatable. ❤🧘‍♀️❤️

Hi Charlie! I’ve been practicing yoga for 2 years now. I can feel and see my whole body and flexibility getting stronger every time I get on the mat. But my wrist is still weak and am constantly getting injured. Can you please do a video on what advice you can give us? Thank you🙏

Thak you Charlie from Cuba
Namaste 🙏
