After a long day at work, or with the nose in the study books, we all need to relax. Some throw themselves on the sofa with faithful Netflix by their side, others place themselves with the joystick in hand and enjoy the latest expansion pack. But whether you are one, the other or something else third, you should find your agility and breathe deeply; It's time for yoga!

Good exercise

Yoga is perfect for exercise as you get used to your entire body. You strengthen both your muscles and your balance, no matter what yoga shape you choose. You may not know, but there are a variety of different yoga shapes. Some shapes require endurance, where you work in the same position for extended periods of time, other shapes are more dynamic so the positions slide into each other. Yoga can therefore both strengthen your legs, buttocks, shoulders, arms and stomachs. You also train the small muscles, you probably did not even know you have not been used during racing or cycling. Yoga should also strengthen your concentration and increase your body awareness.

How to get started

If you are already a training center member, check if they do not offer a yoga team for beginners. If you do not just feel like signing in to a yoga club or joining a team in the gym, throw yourself into it. It's not as difficult as it sounds. You should start with the easy exercises, and you can always throw yourself into hardcore balance exercises when you control the basics. There are countless apps that have some great bids on useful yoga exercises, and many of them offer different levels of difficulty. You just have to find an app that offers the exercises you want to start with. With regard to equipment, yoga is not the most expensive hobby you can have. Needless to say, it requires some useful workout clothes, but most people have it already in advance, and you do not have to invest in the latest, most expensive set you can find. If you want to continue your new yoga lifestyle, you should have a yoga mat. They are available in different price ranges, depending on weight, thickness and quality. Try to see if there's no free yoga event near you, where you can try the strength of the positions, test your old workout clothes and try out a yoga mat. Then you are well on your journey into yoga's marvelous world.
