1 Timothy 4:8 For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
So, not knowing left from right is a neurological difference. Some people may just be lost in thought, but even if I were looking you in the eye, I wouldn't pick up on what you meant. Please don't make fun of us, some of us really can't help it. 😥
One of the things I’ve struggled with is trying to stay in my own space and not compare myself to others. There are a lot of people who have been doing yoga for years and years that make it look so easy. I have to just learn to focus more on my breath and what my body is doing. It’s becoming easier each time I go but it’s definitely a challenge for me. That’s a challenge in my life outside of yoga too, so I understand exactly why it is happening. I love the way I feel after yoga though!
Mary Hughes try to do some yoga at home. Yoga With Adriene is super helpful and she has a whole playlist with under 10 minute practices. This can help you with breathing and focusing on yourself and relieving some stress.
My 5 tips are : 1. Find a good yoga teacher. That was a game changer for me and made me wanna Come back for the next class. Importent to find one that can show what to do if you cant bend/go that low in a pose, so that you can adapt the pose to where your body is today. 2. Dont look how deep other can go in a pose, you are not There to compare to other but to work on your own body and we are all different. 3. Be in the moment, let the Day go and focus on the class/the moment and the feeling, and listen to your body through out the class. 4. Dont eat before the class and if you have to, eat something Light. Some poses, you Will really feel you get limited by having a stomach full of food. 5. Patient.... You wil not get more flexibel because you done a few weeks or months of yoga. Extra tip.... Try out the different yoga that exist. There are ones that we often see at the gym which is more of a flow and we Also have yoga where you Also sit 3-4-10 minutes in a pose.
In real yoga, you have to study with a Master Yogi for at least 20 years before you can ever teach and there is a REASON FOR THAT. I started yoga at 18 with a teacher who would become the yoga teacher of the US Olympic Team. I was so blessed to have the best right from the beginning with all my poses. You know why? Because she kept our BODY, BONES, and BACK SAFE with each yoga pose. I brought this knowledge into any class over the next 40 years because I saw no teachers doing it (even if they had been teaching for 10-30 years). This is why at 62, I can do yoga without any back or spine pain because I protected my spinal chord with the "right pressure and tenseness needed from my muscles" to protect each pose. The MESSAGE HERE IS regardless of what teacher, learn from the best and most experienced if you are new to yoga. Then you can self regulate with any teacher.
I’m going to yoga tomorrow because my doctor told me my spine is extremely crooked and my back muscles are weak as hell And now I afraid wrong poses in yoga gonna hurt my sick back even more ☹️
Taty_h2h yeah I’m really enjoying my yoga classes now. I’m not noticing any improvements in my scoliosis by my mental health much much better now. Yoga reducing all the stress
I’m right/left dyslexic. So you can repeat “Raise your right hand” all day and I’m likely to keep my left up because I don’t always know the difference.
@@wandcamilo3989 I can’t really explain it. But I’ve always struggled with it. I have to pause and super concentrate to make the correct choice. Which is hard to do during exercise, especially when you’re trying to keep up with the instructor.
I started yoga a few weeks ago. I must say, it really helps me with my posture. It relaxes the mind and really give you the energy to go on with your day. Thank you for sharing these classes with us ! :-)
I wonder if you might do a video showing how to modify the most common poses specifically for complete beginners so we can be sure to follow your advice on not rushing ourselves into a pose our body isn't fully ready for. Or if you would like to point us to some such guidance which exists already elsewhere that's also appreciated. I like your carefully considered guidance tho. So much thanks for everything you already do. Namaste
Thanks for the tip Christina. I've recently made it up in my mind that I need to do this, it's something I admired for years but never desired to try it myself. It is time. I found a video called 14 basic yoga poses for beginners and some of those poses are like, whaaa? No way. Mm-mm, not gonna happen. Thanks for encouraging just go for it. You never know what you can do until you just put yourself into action.
I have been looking for simple and safe lessons for older people. Your classes are perfect, some longer, some shorter for when time is limited. I love your gentle guidance.
I just did my first day of a 10 day beginner yoga program on an app to follow my workouts and I honestly feel so good already, I think it’s going to be great to encourage me to keep up my workouts and be so good for helping me to be mindful and relax a little more
I thought your beginners tips were right on point. Although I'm not a total beginner, I have only being doing yoga for the last year after a long break and it was good to be reminded of all the things you mentioned. One that really resonated for me is your tip that if you don't like the pose then it's highly likely that that is the one you need. It is so true! And the tip about holding the poses just a bit longer than is quite comfortable (but not damaging!). Slowly we become stronger. Thanks for this post.
Hello! I just found your channel. I am a beginner and I have neck, arm and feet stiffness, tension and numbing which prevent me from regular exercise. I’m currently under doctor supervision while I get a MRI and a diagnosis. Yoga (and walking) is the only form of physical conditioning that I can do without pain. I’m changing my diet as well to help my overall health. But I just wanted to thank you for your channel. I hope I can continue to watch and practice with you.
Hi, there! I’m so happy to see that you’re turning to yoga to help manage your pain, and I hope you’ve been finding my videos helpful, there are a lot to choose from already, but I’m planning to come back to posting new videos very soon! :)
Hey Christina! I have been interested in getting started in yoga, but have never found the right instructor or time to actually do it. I found your channel and started doing some of your videos. You are an amazing instructor, I only wish you were an instructor in Atlanta so I could take from you in person. Keep up the great work!
Everytime I try to do yoga it hurts a lot, like it feels like a whole workout in a very frustrating way So I'm going to try doing it consistently for a few days and see if it will feel better 😔
It could hurt because you're not completely relaxed or your body could be adjusting to new positions. Its kind of like a massage, it hurts at first because you have strain or tension in a certain spot. But it goes away eventually and it feels better. Just a guess!
Hi ma'am resentely I start my yoga chanel... My body is not perfect in this reason every time I thought a lot when public ly do yoga but at a time I realized that there are many perfect body behind me but they are not as flexible as I am.. And when I listen your vedio it's inspired me a lot Thank u for your vedio
My question is if I can really learn yoga completely on my own. I know form and breathing is important. Should I go to classes then tradition to doing them at home by myself?
hii I’ve been doing yoga for a year now but I have inly been doing the short 10 minute stretches and this video was very helpful cause Im planning on starting working out now
I am on the thrid day of practicing yoga ever -I am only doing surya namaskar with some yoga work out- and my back spine feel tensed and sore but not bad pain, is this normal? And how can i get rid of it? And how do I know if a certain pose is not harmful for my spine and body? Thnx..
-Listen more closely to instructions so you can get the pose right -Don’t be in your head, otherwise you can’t focus -Don’t judge a pose by the way it looks -Don’t like a pose? Probably means that your body needs it!
It’s great to also listen to what I have to say surrounding the general points even though one’s attention span might not allow for it. Also, it’s nice to watch through the video if you have the time to support small creators who work on their own and don’t have a huge company and team behind them :)
@@yogateachermom true! I leave comments like these because they’re more so reminders for myself every time I rewatch the video or come back to it during my yoga routine,
I for some odd reason have troubles telling my right from my left, so I would be one of those people with my left arm up when you said raise your right arm, I would be standing there thinking I had my right arm up wondering who in the world still doesn't have their right arm up yet LOL. Great videos, I subscribed even though no new videos, I don't know how youtube works but I hope they still give you money for views and subs since people are still learning from you. ❤
Do you have a tutorial for downward dog please? I have a lot of trouble knowing what to do with my shoulder blades. I am always very tense in that area. Thank you so much. ❤️🌹
Thanks for the great tips. What type of yoga is best for more instruction on whether or not I am doing the pose correctly. What do you think of thai yoga?
Hi, I’m 62 and new to Yoga i suffer with arthritis in my right wrist and struggle to put my hand flat on the floor any suggestions would be great Thanks
I appreciate the recs as I'm a newbie! I do feel like you could been way more brief and gotten to the point much quicker as I was genuinely curious what you had to say. Just some feedback as an educator. Thanks again.
I’ve been teaching for a long time, so I definitely see what you’re saying. It’s not easy filming TH-cam videos, though. It’s a completely different ball game. Thanks for understanding and I’m glad you enjoyed the video 😊
@@yogateachermom Thanks for understanding. Again my only aim was to be helpful in giving feedback. I do appreciate the tips and can tell you care about people!
Hi Christina 🙋♂️maybe there is something that could help you with Arthur pose... Neem and turmeric ball but before giving it a shot, I’d watch Sadhguru’s videos and advice before taking it, really make sure to watch the video first... hope it helps 🙏🏼
Thanks for the video. These are useful tips! On a technical note I wonder if anyone else noticed that there were way too many crash cymbals in the background music! 😅
Love your instructional videos, I could relate mainly the starting and stopping. I'm going to do your hips and hamstrings Tuesday to help with Kickboxing and Running. Thank you!!!!
Thank you for this! Good reminder about listening to the instructions and trying to prioritise poses we don't like more as they're often the most useful. I was feeling it with your Iyengar strong beginners routine as I've just got back into yoga and have never had good upper body strength and any core strength has gone! I just want the hard exercises to feel more enjoyable :(
Hi, Ruth! It's definitely tough to get through the more challenging poses, but after practicing them for a bit, over time, it does get better! Keep up the great work, and I hope your yoga comeback is going well :)
Lets do this. We can do it. Im short woman and i believe and trust my capability.😊 thank you so much.. oneness and love be with you.. sending you unconditional love.😙❤❤❤
i want to get into yoga cause i’m really stressed all the time i wanna get started but i’m also naturally flexible plus i dance so i’m flexible from that how do i go into it when already bendy where do i know where to start
start at the beginning, I found that my prior dance training (competitive dance) was helpful however treat it like taking a new style of dance. you'd take ballet classes before pointe classes. I would start with beginner yoga videos on youtube or find a yoga studio in you area and take a beginners class!
I watch Yoga With Adriene and she’s hands on one of the best instructors for yoga at home. There’s a ton of different playlists-personally I like to do at least 30 minutes to yoga a day using the flexibility, beginner, and 5 min practices. Go through her playlists are you’ll definitely find something. I would start with the under 10 minute practices and you can do a couple of those a day to see what you like. You don’t have to know where to start! Over time as you watch videos or go to an actual class you will learn...
Hello, I have arthritis in both my hips and I need to work on my flexibility an core strengthening. Is there any yoga poses that I need to stay away from?
On the raise your right arm comment - some people (me) don't know left from right - so they may think they have the correct arm up - you have to say - other arm
I totally get that, and thanks for your comment! I was just using that particular instance as an example. I can usually tell when a student is confused about their right and left and when they’re listening to their own thoughts instead of my instructions. Just a quick tip, if you hold your index and thumb in an “L” shape, the side that looks like the letter “L” is your left ;)
Quick tip for knowing the right from the left..make an L with your thumb and point finger on both hands.. the hand with the L going the correct way is your left!
@@yogateachermom thanks a lot for this tip I hope it will help. The thing is that my brain freeze in such a way that I cant even figure out what the words right and left means.
What you really need to know about JADE YOGA industries/ products is that : Is not worth it, as I have a brand new Mat sealed that I tried to sale and got a cease&desist letter that I cannot resell it Even though I paid full price for it and I legally own it, how sad and disturbing :(
chibiinum Haha I feel you. I’m constantly having to switch it up & it throws off the flow of my practice. Frustrating. But I do think a lot to do with needing to learn/memorize the poses so I’m moving one to another without having to hear it word for word from the teacher.
Hi, there! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the video!! Please consult a doctor and a certified nutritionist for this information. Best of luck to you on your health journey!!
Same I’m super skinny but I’m trying to eat a lot now (of a balanced diet) and I do some yoga daily. This may help you gain some lean muscle and depending on yoga or an actual workout keep your tummy small while you eat more. I don’t think yoga can actually make you gain weight but using it while eating a certain diet can help.
@@elisesatter1473 no yoga does not help you gain weight. Include weight training or simple body weight exercises that will definately help you increase your hunger and gain weight. Finish your training session with yoga which will help you to relax your body as well as your mind. Comment for more queries
@@elisesatter1473 look up Greg doucette, and it sounds like (I’m assuming anyway) you want to build muscle if you want the best results I’d recommend tracking your calories to eat at a slight calorie surplus(again assuming a lot since I don’t know your goals) 200-500 calories over what you need to maintain your weight, that’s it calories in vs calories out.
Thank you for these ti()s; they were hel()ful. ()articularly 'listening', rather than; and '()atience' rather than... A beginner at home now since I ex()erienced taking a grou() class and I left frustrated. OMG Now I want to disci()line myself to get better.
Fix your chakras!! Only then will fit the chakra system. The 3 lower chakras are usually responsible Eg throat/expression chakra for double chins. Most lawyers have this issues!! Namaste 🙏🏽
Hi, Yvette! Thanks so much for your request, and I’ll definitely keep that in mind. For now, you can check out my office chair yoga videos (th-cam.com/video/w3C08dhJ_SM/w-d-xo.html, th-cam.com/video/DABGThUzWGs/w-d-xo.html) and also my yoga class at the wall (th-cam.com/video/cF2UWXKH_8c/w-d-xo.html) in the meantime :)

@@TravelWithMe480 That's not an excuse...It's true. If you don't know what the pose is, you can create bad habits or stay in ignorance a very long time. Practicing the incorrect pose form does not make perfect. It makes confusion.
with all due respect the tittle is misleading tips should be more of a personal interaction based on form and getting to the form not something like RULE#1 don't look at my body?

i want to get into yoga cause i’m really stressed all the time i wanna get started but i’m also naturally flexible plus i dance so i’m flexible from that how do i go into it when already bendy where do i know where to start
start at the beginning, I found that my prior dance training (competitive dance) was helpful however treat it like taking a new style of dance. you'd take ballet classes before pointe classes. I would start with beginner yoga videos on youtube or find a yoga studio in you area and take a beginners class!
I watch Yoga With Adriene and she’s hands on one of the best instructors for yoga at home. There’s a ton of different playlists-personally I like to do at least 30 minutes to yoga a day using the flexibility, beginner, and 5 min practices. Go through her playlists are you’ll definitely find something. I would start with the under 10 minute practices and you can do a couple of those a day to see what you like. You don’t have to know where to start! Over time as you watch videos or go to an actual class you will learn...
I find balance and flexibility are the hardest things when learning yoga.
Hello, I have arthritis in both my hips and I need to work on my flexibility an core strengthening. Is there any yoga poses that I need to stay away from?
Great question! I have the same one!
Does it matter if you do your yoga on hard floor or carpet. If so which do you seggest.
Great thanks 😊👍
Great tips. Thank you
Thanks for the tips. They are really helpful. 🙏
thank you for the tips very helpful
Sometimes I get the wrong arm up because of my anxiety level not because Im not listening-Im listening too hard😊.
Thank you.
On the raise your right arm comment - some people (me) don't know left from right - so they may think they have the correct arm up - you have to say - other arm
I totally get that, and thanks for your comment! I was just using that particular instance as an example. I can usually tell when a student is confused about their right and left and when they’re listening to their own thoughts instead of my instructions. Just a quick tip, if you hold your index and thumb in an “L” shape, the side that looks like the letter “L” is your left ;)
Quick tip for knowing the right from the left..make an L with your thumb and point finger on both hands.. the hand with the L going the correct way is your left!
Nichole Mutchie as long as the palms are facing away from you that is.
you should learn left from right, it could help you in the future lol...
@@yogateachermom thanks a lot for this tip I hope it will help. The thing is that my brain freeze in such a way that I cant even figure out what the words right and left means.
What you really need to know about JADE YOGA industries/ products is that :
Is not worth it, as I have a brand new Mat sealed that I tried to sale and got a cease&desist letter that I cannot resell it Even though I paid full price for it and I legally own it, how sad and disturbing :(
Helpful tips. Thank you!
Thanks a lot, I'm not a beginner but your tips are great!!
Great advice! Thanks for sharing!
I dont know my left from my right
Same
chibiinum Haha I feel you. I’m constantly having to switch it up & it throws off the flow of my practice. Frustrating. But I do think a lot to do with needing to learn/memorize the poses so I’m moving one to another without having to hear it word for word from the teacher.
@@sweetpeace5 just remember the hand you write with lol 😉❤xxxxxxxx
Hi chris..love ur explanation..im so skinny do you have any yoga to make me gain weigth..tnx so much..
Hi, there! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the video!! Please consult a doctor and a certified nutritionist for this information. Best of luck to you on your health journey!!
Same I’m super skinny but I’m trying to eat a lot now (of a balanced diet) and I do some yoga daily. This may help you gain some lean muscle and depending on yoga or an actual workout keep your tummy small while you eat more. I don’t think yoga can actually make you gain weight but using it while eating a certain diet can help.
@@elisesatter1473 no yoga does not help you gain weight. Include weight training or simple body weight exercises that will definately help you increase your hunger and gain weight. Finish your training session with yoga which will help you to relax your body as well as your mind. Comment for more queries
@@elisesatter1473 look up Greg doucette, and it sounds like (I’m assuming anyway) you want to build muscle if you want the best results I’d recommend tracking your calories to eat at a slight calorie surplus(again assuming a lot since I don’t know your goals) 200-500 calories over what you need to maintain your weight, that’s it calories in vs calories out.
Great instructions and information
Thank you so much, Felicity :) That means a lot!!
Hello there 😁👋
5k subs, well done lady! 👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉💖💖💖
Thank you so much, Kirsty!! So exciting 😀💕
THANKS A TOPN
Thank you for these ti()s; they were hel()ful. ()articularly 'listening', rather than; and '()atience' rather than... A beginner at home now since I ex()erienced taking a grou() class and I left frustrated. OMG Now I want to disci()line myself to get better.
Random curiosity: Why are all your 'P' replaced with a ()?
I saw this and thought it was both fun and an interesting little puzzle.
Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed this one :)
Maybe they're afraid of the letter P?
Fix your chakras!! Only then will fit the chakra system. The 3 lower chakras are usually responsible Eg throat/expression chakra for double chins. Most lawyers have this issues!! Namaste 🙏🏽
Can u do a beginners video using a folding chair for balance?
Hi, Yvette! Thanks so much for your request, and I’ll definitely keep that in mind. For now, you can check out my office chair yoga videos (th-cam.com/video/w3C08dhJ_SM/w-d-xo.html, th-cam.com/video/DABGThUzWGs/w-d-xo.html) and also my yoga class at the wall (th-cam.com/video/cF2UWXKH_8c/w-d-xo.html) in the meantime :)

For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
Thanks. Consider dropping the music. It's super distracting.
Aw!! How sweet! Thank you so much
wow! im so glad i can finally work of the fat after having my first baby #teenmom
🙏 ✌🏻
Your amazing Thankyou..!
Thanks so much!! :)
#1 is hard when you don't know the poses. And describing them can be very confusing.
Have to keep going. Practice makes perfect. The excuses you made are the indicators to keep going! Goodwill and LOVE
@@TravelWithMe480 That's not an excuse...It's true. If you don't know what the pose is, you can create bad habits or stay in ignorance a very long time. Practicing the incorrect pose form does not make perfect. It makes confusion.
@@LisaVanGemert not to mention you can hurt the heck out of yourself if you don’t know the correct postures. Just ask my low back!
you are super cute and genuine :)
with all due respect the tittle is misleading
tips should be more of a personal interaction based on form and getting to the form not something like RULE#1 don't look at my body?
how can i find you on instagram?
Just search @chriskayoga :)
Thank you I'm only six I'm s beginner.
You're welcome, Gissette!! :)
Video starts at 1.05 thank me later
We creators put a lot of hard work into these videos, so please be kind and know that we see ALL of your comments.
And no, the video actually begins at 0:00 😊
You are beautifull. You are welcome
more than advices they sound more like reproaches XD
What if I'd rather look at your body? I guess I could always be like a blind guy and listen to your words while I watch your body with my hands?
Don’t talk so much, come to the point
King Arthur pose!!??? What is that...lolHaven't ever heard of it. Definitely not a pose from authentic yoga lineage. Sorry.
Maybe not, but it’s AWESOME! Great quad stretch! Have an open mind and give it a try 😊
You are mad
You speak a lot
I’ve never heard that before in my entire life. Please look elsewhere for your online yoga instruction.
This video is designed to explain some important tips... of course she needs to speak a lot in it!
I don’t see a problem, of course she gotta speak a lot. the video is supposed to be informative!!
Your other right arm 😂
Great tips, thank you.
You're very welcome!! 😊
