Preparing For Yoga Practice

yoga videos
Yoga Surface:

If you practice yoga on a hard surface such as a wood floor, be sure to cushion it with a thick pad or blanket. A mat of natural fibers such as cotton, wool, silk or animal skin is recommended. Wool or sheepskin will insulate your electromagnetic field from the earth's energy field. This protects you from becoming tired or drained of energy as you meditate. A pillow placed under the buttocks will help straighten the spine for meditation.

Yoga Clothing:

For yoga, it's best to wear comfortable, elastic-waist clothing made from a natural fabric such as cotton. If possible, do not wear socks. Bare feet conduct the electromagnetic energy through the 72,000 nerve endings in the feet. Wearing white is preferred as it contains all the colors of the spectrum and is psychologically uplifting.

Tips:
  1. Always begin each session by tuning-in. (See video titled: "How to Tune-In" )

  2. Drink water after your practice to balance and ground yourself.

  3. Always breathe through the nose unless instructed to do otherwise.

  4. A light natural fabric shawl or blanket is suggested for meditation and deep relaxation.  If it feels too warm, cover the lower spine only by wrapping the shawl around the waist and lower torso.
