Making Yoga Apart of Your Detox Program
Exercise is a great way to keep your body in shape. Making yoga apart of your detox program is one way to lose weight while remaining healthy at the same time. If a woman wants a healthy way of life devoid of any strain and stress, she should start her day with yoga.
When you get up in the morning, begin your detox program by placing a yoga mat on the floor and hugging your knees to your chest. Then raise your legs in the air and stay bottoms up until your head clears. Next stand up and drop your forehead to your shins until you feel ready to tackle the toothbrush and get on with your day.
Your approach to a detox program and to life in general should be a nonviolent one – working smoothly with concentration and determination at your own pace without competing with anyone else.
Your detox program should ideally center on 28 postures drawn from the 5,000-year-old technique whose name comes from the Sanskrit for sun, moon and join together. The exercises should range from deep breathing to pretzel-like stretches.
• Yoga is strenuous, but not painful, and it gives every inch of your body a terrific workout.
• Yoga proves particularly helpful in strengthening a body plagued by injury.
• Yoga helps you maintain flexibility, build strength and muscle definition and even. Try spending 60 to 90 minutes on your yoga routine, before breakfast, five to six days a week.
Follow the basics mentioned when on a detox program:
Avoid the big seduction to only go with your strong points – like weight-lifting if you’ve got great muscles. It’s the thing that’s hardest for you that you need to work on the most
Do not space out during workouts. Use that time to have a private conversation with yourself: ‘How do I feel physically, mentally.’ ‘How is my balance and coordination today.’ ‘Is there something I should pay special attention to.’
Practice yoga in the early morning or early evening at least one hour after a light meal or three to four hours after a main meal. If you are hungry before practice, try tea, milk or fruit juice.
