Back to Basics: The Benefits Of Introductory Yoga Courses
Yoga is an ancient discipline which focuses on the connection between the mind and body and there
is so much for you to learn when you first set out on your yoga journey. When it comes to enhancing
your yoga practice, introductory yoga courses are the perfect way to familiarise yourself with yoga and get the most out of your experience. These courses are highly recommended for beginners but are also beneficial for experienced yogis who want to learn more about their practice.
Learn the history of the practice
Whether you’re interested in the spiritual side of yoga or are just looking for a low impact way to
improve strength and flexibility, an introductory course will give you the knowledge you need to
really make a connection with your yoga practice. Yoga has a history dating back over 3,000 years
and understanding the philosophies underlying the various yoga disciplines will help deepen your
understanding. From Hatha and Vinyasa to Yin and Nidra, there is a whole world of yoga for you to
learn about!
Practice correct form and technique
It’s essential that you carry out your yoga practice safely and using correct technique. Although your
teacher will offer support and guidance during each class, attending an introductory class will teach
you the correct form and how to carry out the various exercises to achieve maximum results. You’ll
also be introduced to the terminology which will be used during each class so it’s familiar to you
when you begin. Yoga places a lot of emphasis on the importance of breath and you’ll be shown how
breath is incorporated into each class. Even if you’ve been going along to yoga classes for some time, having a refresher on the correct technique can be very helpful. During your course, you can also discuss any specific concerns you might have, such as an injury, so you can find out whether you need to use any modifications during your classes.
Helps with confidence on your yoga journey
The most important thing that an introductory yoga course can give you is confidence when starting
on your yoga journey. Instead of walking into the class with trepidation and not knowing what to
expect, you’ll have a great knowledge base to work from. With the help of your introductory course,
you’ll find yourself quickly becoming immersed in your yoga practice and experiencing the benefits
of this ancient discipline first hand.
