Yoga With Pamela McDowell

Before picking between yoga video titles, there are two important things to consider.

Overlooking these two considerations could send you into yoga video misery… picking something that is absolutely wrong for you.

With the wrong video you could be merely disappointed with your choice.. or you could wind up hurting yourself.

So skip the first two steps at your own peril.

I hope you’ll set yourself up for success and do 2 very important things…

The first is to assess your current condition.

(Ideally you’d do this every day before practicing, whether it be with a video, in a class, or on your own.)

What is your overall level of fitness? Do you exercise regularly? Do you have any injuries, illnesses or limitations that could keep you from doing certain types of breathing or movement?

Be very realistic about your condition.

Doing too much too soon sets you up for injury and frustration.

Instead, underachieve allowing your body, mind and emotions to catch up with all the great work you’re doing.

I highly recommend reading or listening to the beginner yoga guide, even if you’re not a yoga beginner.

Also, get input from a trusted health professional especially if you have an injury or illness or are not very physically active.

This is very important if you are teaching yourself yoga using books, video, audio or online resources since you’re not getting feedback from a yoga teacher.

It’s even important when working with a teacher, as competent medical advice can help direct you to the most appropriate activities for you.

But MOST IMPORTANT…

Ultimately you are responsible for your own health and safety. Treat yourself kindly.
