The Beginners Guide To Stroke Recovery Therapy Joining A Yoga Class

By Helen Williams


First things first, they ll be a lot of stretching so be prepared to listen to your body make funny sounds that you ve never heard before. But before the first pose can be assumed a few things need to be done. Research. It is key for any form of success in yoga. Research any and all yoga studios and see which one is best suited to accommodate your stroke recovery therapy. It s also important to make note that research of poses and what they are called is essential in order to avoid confusion.

Once a place has been found, note that what you were to a yoga class means little as long as it adheres to these basic principles. It is decent and It is comfortable.This apples for both sexes.Be prepared to show off those toes whether you like them or not as yoga is done barefoot, so socks and gloves in the gym bag unless the instructor says otherwise.

Being comfortable also extends to the equipment required to engage in a yoga class. Classes are done barefoot, no socks, but an exception can be made depending on the weather. A yoga mat can also be used but a helpful and useful tip would be to refrain from stepping on anybody else s yoga mat as some of the members in your class might view their mat as an extension of themselves or an invasion of their personal space.

Going to a yoga class on a full stomach is bad and so is going to a class on an empty one. The middle ground is eating a light snack or fruit 20 to 15 minutes before the class begins to avoid feeling light headed or bloated during the class.

Get to class early, this will do wonders. If a class is at 10:00 get there at 09:45 and if you re running late, get there at 09:50. Arriving early means that setting up shop for class is way easier, especially for beginners who often end up at the back of the room. And to avoid being bogged down by paperwork, missing crucial moments reserved for stretching at the beginning of a class and end up being noisy and disruptive when settling in afterwards.

Bring comfortable clothing. Pants that stretch are best as they allow for more flexibility. For females, the options are more varied and it s important to prioritise comfort over what s fashionable because the latest and greatest designer tops won t matter when your huffing and puffing in discomfort because of them. For men however, their choice of clothing is limited but long running tights are decent enough to make them presentable and comfortable.

Chanting is commonplace in a yoga class and if it makes you feel uncomfortable or you not yet ready to chant, feel free not to do it. Yoga is about relaxation not pressurisation.

Consider all of the words above a beginners guide to joining a yoga class. Of course these aren t all of them but some of the basic that can help a novice go a long way into making sure they stay committed to the program.
