5 Basic Etiquettes to Have for Yoga Practice
To prepare for your first yoga class isn’t an easy job. Questions like “what should I wear for the class?”, “What should I take with me to the class?” etc. are the questions that come in everyone’s mind. In addition, there are all sorts of explanations about how you should prepare yourself mentally for a yoga class.
There are too many things that come to mind that often people miss out some critical things that they should know before joining a yoga class. And often practitioners are so obsessed with the question “what is expected of me before a class?” that they even forget to ask “what is expected of me during the class?”.
Yoga relaxes our body and has a calming effect on our mind. But for this process, to have a healthy, peaceful and learning environment is crucial. When you are a part of a yoga class, you are responsible for creating and maintaining that environment. And here are few good manners you should practice during a yoga class.
Maintain the Silence
Yoga practice is about bringing your body, mind and spirit together. And to do it properly practitioners need to concentrate on their practice intensely. And during the process even a little noise isn’t acceptable. Concentrate on your own practice intensely and you will never become the reason of any sort of disturbance. Also, switch off your cellphones before entering the classroom.
Enter Quietly if You Are Late
In our lives, we cannot always avoid to being late. Everyone gets late once in every while and your teacher understands it. Enter as quietly as possible, try not to distract anyone from their practice and start your practice as if you were already there.
Listen Carefully to What Your Teacher Has to Say
Learning about the concept behind yoga practice is an important part of learning yoga. They don’t feel that understanding the philosophy is important. Learn to pay respect to your teacher and try to listen what she has to say. Despite that, pay attention when your teacher talks about yoga philosophy, and eventually you will find it helpful.
Follow Your Teacher’s Instructions Properly
If you are new to yoga, make a habit of following your teacher’s every instruction heartily. If you feel like doing something in your own way, first ask your teacher about it. But during the learning phase, follow every instruction given by her.
Remind Others
No one intently wants to disturb the flow of class but often people’s lack of knowledge makes them do so. However, often out of ignorance new students do things which are not expected in the class. The best practice in such cases is to give them a friendly advice about how they should behave and not disturb anyone.
Whether you are planning to join a retreat for yoga in Goa after deciding that you will learn yoga in India, or thinking of joining a local yoga studio, having these etiquettes will help you in creating a healthy environment for yours as well others practice.
