Are you one of those people who are planning to join a beginner's yoga course in Rishikesh, India, for the first time but are confused because you do not have much yoga experience?
Yoga is a powerful practice that blends physical movement, breath control, and meditation. It offers numerous benefits for the body and mind. Although it can be daunting for beginners, embracing this journey with an open heart and mind can lead to profound personal growth and well-being.
We understand you might have many questions about starting your yoga journey in Rishikesh. At AYM Yoga School, we're here to guide you every step of the way. We regularly conduct beginner-level courses in Rishikesh, India, each lasting around 12 days. Our school is peaceful and serene, perfect for yoga and meditation practice.
Yoga is more than just a series of poses; it’s a holistic approach to health. It originated in ancient India and emphasizes the connection between the body, mind, and spirit. The practice usually includes:
Asanas (Postures): Physical positions that enhance flexibility, strength, and balance.
Pranayama (Breath Control): Techniques that focus on breath awareness and control to promote relaxation and energy.
Meditation: Practices aimed at calming the mind and promoting inner peace.
1. Increased Flexibility: Regular practice helps loosen tight muscles, improving overall flexibility and range of motion.
2. Enhanced Strength: Many yoga poses require different muscle groups, helping build and tone muscles.
3. Stress Relief: Yoga encourages relaxation and helps alleviate stress through mindfulness and deep breathing.
4. Improved Focus: Mindfulness practices enhance concentration and mental clarity.
5. Better Posture: Yoga promotes awareness of body alignment, which can lead to better posture and reduce the risk of injury.
In this course, you will be learning about yoga postures (asanas), pranayamas (yogic breathing exercises), and meditation (for a peaceful and calm state of mind). There is also a yogic detox program included in the course (they are collectively known as shat kriyas), and you will also be chanting mantras during the sessions.
You will be introduced to Hatha, Iyengar, Vinyasa, and Shivananda Yoga styles for the asana practice. We focus on alignment correction of our students using appropriate props (as per the Iyengar style of yoga).
Many of you who want to start yoga might also be new to meditation. Here, you will get the beautiful experience of meditation. Our teachers will be guiding you in the process. You will also be familiarized with the correct way of yogic breathing and be made to practice the same in the session. Here, you will also learn about beginner-level yoga asanas and their benefits.
Towards the end of the yoga practice session, we do deep relaxation through Yoga Nidra in the Shavasana pose (i.e., the corpse pose), which profoundly calms the body and mind. This practice is well known for removing stress from the nervous system. Join our yoga course for beginners and experience the yogic effect in your mental, emotional, and physical realms!
