Yoga just for fun - a different new yoga DVD

If you’ve been doing the same series of asanas for weeks and months on end, you may be getting bored with yoga.

This is natural - your yoga is no longer offering you a challenge.

Here’s a way to make yoga fun again. Yoga rocks! reports: “Chaos’s Indie Rocker series has me sufficiently intrigued to finally try a home workout. Despite the soundtrack, I find the yoga session calming and, dare I say it, fun. The beginners’ workout challenges my novice self without feeling too much like hard work. The only problem is that most poses have you facing the floor, so you keep having to crane your neck to see what’s on the screen, but perhaps this is a universal problem when exercising with a fitness DVD for the first time. However, aside from almost toppling over while attempting a backwards bend, I survive relatively unscathed.”

Yoga and laughter go together - have fun with yoga

Trying to save the world through the power of laughter and yoga reports: “Workshop participant Sparky Lovejoy, a yoga teacher and massage therapist from Santa Rosa, says laughter yoga has been life changing.

‘On a physical level, it cleared up an ongoing sinus problem in a month. On an emotional level, it helped me overcome fear, anxiety and helped me relax,’ she said. ‘I’m not so afraid of people, and I’ve finally found a reason to come out of hiding.’”

Yoga and laughter sounds like a great idea. You could of course devise your own sessions at home - put on your favorite comedy DVD or CD during your yoga workout.

Yoga always shifts your energy - if you start your session feeling depressed or tired, you’ll feel happier and more energized afterward.

Yoga is good for you, and as the truism states, laughter is the best medicine.

Yoga at home: can you learn yoga by yourself?

If you live in a rural area, or in a location where there are no yoga studies within easy distance, you can certainly do yoga by yourself.

Learning yoga at home - books, DVDs

There are many books and DVDs which will teach you yoga. Here are some tips to help you to get the most from them:

* When you’re beginning your yoga practice, work with just one pose at a time. The next day, add another pose. Work with these two poses only for a few days. Yoga is not a competition, it’s a way to become familiar with your body, and your mind. This means that you must be very aware of what’s happening, both with your body and your  mind, in the moment.

* When you’re familiar with four or five poses, practice these poses for a week or two. If you’re working with a DVD, work with just the first five or ten minutes of the DVD, then rest in Savasana (Corpse Pose). This pose is not as easy as it appears. It’s extremely difficult to relax completely.
