Your best bet for beginning yoga is to search for a class in your local area. It’s extremely important that you learn the techniques involved first. There’s no better way to do this then to be under the watchful eye of an instructor.
I started out doing ashtanga or power yoga. It depends on your overall fitness, I think. If you are fit and fairly limber you would have no problems with ashtanga yoga. Try a couple of different classes to see which you like better.
I do a vinyasa hatha yoga, and have since I was a beginner. Anusara yoga is very beginner friendly too, but has a more spiritual focus than some other types.
I think it’s important as a beginner that you take a class at a studio and avoid DVDs and videos. Practicing safely and effectively requires having proper form, and it’s easy to do postures incorrectly without an instructor there to correct you.
Yoga is a way of life. Toga is just not the postures or breating or meditation. Yoga is way of life which covers all the aspects of your life, be it eating,walking,working or socializing.
I suggest one should first study patanjali’s 8 fold path. This covers the ENTIRE JOURNEY for all the types of people with all the types of requirements.
Should you need further assistance, you can mail me or visit . It’s a free website and i teach (on email) free to genuine seekers.
