Being physically active and eating well are two known practices responsible for maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

| Nutrition Is Essential To Good Health A Safe, Gentle Form of Yoga Can Also Enhance Your Health |
My yoga practice and instruction of individuals have been informed by the many open yoga classes and partner sessions i have attended for over 50 months.
The age of individuals attending our yoga classes range from the teens into the 70's: males and females with different body types and dealing various health issues that impact their ability to move.
Our yoga community demonstrates how engaging in the physical activities that define the type of yoga we do can provide many benefits and be fun.
Despite the positive experiences i and my yoga colleagues have enjoyed, many individuals of both genders remain resistance to yoga - to reverse a sedentary lifestyle and to begin moving their bodies.
I identify some of the reasons males and females have cited for not taking the first steps to help themselves below.
Perceived Obstacles
Yoga Is A Religion - the yoga i do is a physical activity based on the tradition of Yoga Master B. K. S. Iyengar and is not a religion: opportunities to meditate, calm your mind and breathing is a component of our yoga practice
Age - participating in a yoga class can be done at any age, gently and safely, within your abilities: yoga can be done by teens and seniors without injury
Gender - our yoga is not just for females: i am a good example that a male in his 60's can and continues to benefit from the whole body movements that defines my yoga practice
Body Types - thin or heavy, tall or short, with or without muscle tone: males and females can start to do yoga slowly, within their abilities ... with good, patient and compassionate instruction that may use various props, enjoy learning how to move your body safely

No Experience - you do not have to have be an athlete or familiar with yoga to participate in a yoga class: i started with no previous experience, limited abilities and was made comfortable, encouraged by our instructor
No, Limited Flexibility - your range of motion (muscles, joints) can be slowly modified if you begin to move your body gently and within your limits: yoga done on a regular basis (holding your body in specific postures) will likely facilitate your daily movements
Pain Reflecting A Health Symptom(s) - yoga can be done safely by individuals experiencing muscle, joint pains including arthritis and other conditions - i, others have reduced pain(s) through our yoga practice and without medications
Medical Conditions - among others, having experienced a heart attack or dealing with diabetes, arthritis, balance and breathing issues does not mean you can not start doing yoga - with your doctor's input and my assessment, guided instruction and coaching, doing yoga can improve your overall health, fitness
