Everyone it’s different, therefore its body should be treated differently. It’s important while doing Yoga to maintain attention in the body and the mind, and to acknowledge when the body, mind, or both are creating resistance. That’s why most Yoga teachers will encourage you to listen to yourself. When you are listening there is no space for injuries.

The principle of Ahimsa may apply during all your practice - Not Violence- with your body, with your mind, not negative thoughts, polluted thoughts, that drain your energy and concentration, as you enter the union with your infinite self.

The Yoga doesn’t measure by how flexible one is. What it happens outside is the manifestation of what inside and vice versa. Respect yourself by acknowledge your own self-limitations, and built it up from there.

When someone mentions Yoga, almost everyone visualizes a pretzel’s like body posture. Always remember that twist like a pretzel doesn’t make you a better yogi or yogini (for women), otherwise the “Circus of Solei” staff will be the best yogis.

In the Yoga Positions, or Asanas page, there is a modification to the challenged positions. When there is doubt, always use your common sense. Use props if you need them. They are fun, and can help you to go deeper within the position.

It’s ok to practice Yoga while pregnant. It’s a great way to keep fit during pregnancy, and it has many benefits. It helps to open the chest for deeper breathing, lifts the breastbone to make more room for your baby, stretches the legs wide to exercise the pelvic muscles, holds the spine erect for free of energy, helps you to maintain steady emotions, centers you to cope with change, and accesses the deep relaxation that lies within you.

Avoid inverted positions, risk twist poses, abdominal strengtheners, extended holding of any pose, or energize breaths, like breath of fire, during the two first days of menstruation and during pregnancy. Instead of Breath of Fire you can do Long Deep Breathing. The issue is that these practices might interfere with the downward flow or cause discomfort.
