What You Need To Know About Advanced Yoga
from:The purpose of advanced yoga is not to be better or strike cooler poses than anyone else in advanced yoga class. One of the traits of an advanced yoga student is humility, and so they should not seek to be better doing advanced yoga poses than anyone else. Yoga seeks to the practitioner to find the balance between mind, body and soul. Advanced yoga poses are not party tricks.
Kids: Don't Do This At Home
In books, magazines, tapes, DVDs and online there are many resources that demonstrate people doing advanced yoga poses. Do not think "Ahh, I can do that," and immediately get up and try to do them. Your doctor will most likely choke with laughter as you try to explain why you are in the emergency room.
Do not try advanced yoga poses unless you've been training in yoga for months or years. Even continually doing Pilates will help let your body know what it's in for. (Pilates and yoga are very similar, although Pilates concentrates entirely on the body and ignores the mind and soul). You wouldn't decide to take up weightlifting by beginning with half ton barbells, would you? Well, maybe you would, but most same people wouldn't.
You need to gradually build up to the advanced yoga poses by learning easy yoga poses, which will be hard enough. In yoga, there should be no pressure to be the best in class - you just do what you are comfortable with. If at any time, the yoga poses starts to hurt - STOP.
Strike A Pose
There's more to advanced yoga than just striking a series of poses that make onlookers twinge. Depending on what school or branch of advanced yoga you are following, you are also encouraged to be a calm, moral person that can be flexible enough to weather life's blows and move easily into God's will (or the will of whatever Deity you follow).
There are other spectacular things advanced yoga followers can do. They can lie on a bed of broken glass and not get cut, walk through fire and not get burned, not eat, not even breathe for hours, read minds, communicate to friends and disciples in dreams or even levitate. But doing cool stuff is not the point of advanced yoga. The point is to become one with the universe, which can be your point in life and in advanced yoga, if you so choose.
