Other miscellaneous yoga essentials 


What You Need 


If you have learned yoga and you want to practice now at home without bothering about going in classes then, you must have some essentials at home which will help you in executing your yoga techniques more effectively and more properly. 

Yoga Matt and Its Qualities 

Matt is the first essential thing which you must have in home and there are certain qualities of good quality yoga matt. First of all it should be very comfortable and smooth.  

Thickness of matt also increases the comfort level but it will also increase the cost of matt. You can go with a medium thick matt for proper and healthy yoga practice.  

You also should think about the cleaning method of your matt because if you are involved in hot yoga exercises then, matt will definitely get wet and will need to be washed. So look for a matt which you can wash in your washing machine easily.  

Other Miscellaneous Yoga Essentials 

Other than yoga matt, you should also carry a yoga bag and this is important because I have seen people who practice yoga that they do not care about their matt and towel and other things but you should have a proper bag which can hold all of your yoga items properly because discipline is first step of yoga and if you are not disciplined even in execution of yoga then, how can you expect any discipline in your life through yoga.  

Some people will think that these essentials will cost them lots of money but believe it or not but all of the above items will not cost you more than $150. This is not a bog price to pay for proper execution of yoga in comfort of your house. So buy these accessories and exercise yoga at your home effectively.

The Precepts 


Yoga is taken as a physical remedy for many problems and especially for people, who tend to suffer from different health related problems like pain, stress, fatigue, sleeping disorder and other similar issues, yoga is perfect solution. It just needs a bit of practice and patience to see the results and initially, you can face some problems but as the time passes, you will learn the art of doing exercises properly and will start to relax after doing them. Following are the few advantages which you can get from yoga exercises.  

Increasing Flexibility 

Getting a flexible body is dream of almost every person but it is very tough to attain certain level of flexibility without proper exercise routine. All the exercises of yoga are based to increase stamina, flexibility and length of your muscles. I have seen people who started yoga when they were not even able to touch their foot toes but after some practice, they were able to bend their back completely without any trouble to touch their toes. Not only this but if you observe different poses of yoga then, you will know that it emphasis on certain parts of body which are almost ignored in daily routine but yoga exercises get these parts activated and makes them flexible to work.  

Increased Use of Joints, Ligaments and Tendons 

As I mentioned above that yoga increases flexibility and it is because of that long research of yoga positions. Every position is well-thought and wellconceived that you can activate your those parts of the body which are normally ignored for example, shoulder are a part of our body which can change our whole posture but we seldom do any exercise or certain movement which involved shoulders. In yoga, on the other hand, there are special postures which give stress and relax shoulder particularly and ultimately you make your shoulders strong and flexible.  

Increased Strength and Weight Management 

Yoga exercises help you in increasing the overall strength of all your body parts including your bones. This increased strength increases support for your whole skeleton. This is a great way to achieve a healthy and toned body. It not only increases the overall strength of your body but it also helps you in maintain your weigh because you have to practice different postures every day and in those postures, if your weight increases, you will notice it in very timely manner.  

Improved Blood Circulation 

Yoga is recommended for patients who have increased blood pressure or even low blood pressure. There are different poses and exercises for both of these purposes. It regulates blood in a more proper way because the positions which are practiced in yoga are very precise and these positions make sure that every organ of the body comes in exact position which makes the job for the heat easier. It circulates the blood more easily and more properly. 

Detoxification 

In yoga, muscles are stretched very gently and in some techniques massage are done and these techniques ensure proper blood flow in whole body which also works as detoxification of body. All the undesired secretions are effectively removes from the body because everything works in order.  

Stress Relief and Pain Relief 

Cortisol is a substance in our body which controls the amount of stress and it is seen that all the yoga exercises help to reduce the amount of cortisol in human body which ultimately limits the effects of stress on our body. In ancient times, yoga exercises were used to cure different kinds of pain and in some parts of the world, some expert yogis still practice this technique of lowing and getting rid of pains.  

Focus On Present and Inner Peace 

Inner peace is a thing which is very rare in this materialistic world and through practice of yoga you can get this rare quality in yourself. Along with physical health, improving mental health is also a future of yoga exercises because it creates a harmony between thoughts, mind and actions of our body. It allows you to converge and focus your thoughts on one purpose of your life. It avoids all the distractions and enables your mind to think very clearly about the success.  

Yoga is Beneficial for All Age Groups 

If you observe yoga techniques then, you will notice that these techniques are not specific for any age group because some of these are very easy and some of them are complex which shows that people from any age group can practice these techniques and get results. Infact, as you keep on getting older, you master the art of yoga and all the skilled and prominent masters of yoga are very old aged people who have got all the control over these techniques and they are now teaching these techniques to their ancestors.

 Stamina increases with practice and people who have been practicing these techniques from young ages can become master of these arts in their older age. Better Breathing And Body Awareness When you keep on practicing yoga for longer periods of time then, you get a sense of awareness about your body and you know exactly what is going on inside your body. This helps you in identifying any faults and disorders very early in stage which helps to get rid of that disorder early. With better breathing techniques, you feel comfortable and there are techniques in yoga which can enable you to attain relaxation in minutes. These techniques do not require any particular environment or timing and you can execute them even in your office chair to relax yourself.

This is another advanced pose which is for those people who have developed supreme kind of flexibility and strength in their muscles by practicing all the other ordinary poses of yoga. You can search internet and you will find exact pictures depicting this pose and you can execute it at your own after wards.  

The Forward Bend Yoga Pose 

This is another very difficult pose and in order to execute it you need to hold the toe ends of your feet for several deep breaths. This is also dangerous for people with any back problems because your back will suffer a full bend and if you have slight problem in your back then, it will invoke that problem.  

The Locust Yoga Pose 

This is another very tough pose but the difficulty is not in executing it but in holding it for several minutes and as usual, it also needs a very strong back. You should practice on basic poses and develop your back muscles to execute these poses effectively.  

The Bow Yoga Pose 

This yoga pose is just for expert yogis because it is difficult to execute and even more difficult to hold. You need tons of stamina and back strength which comes from years of practice. If someone challenges you to execute this pose then, you should think twice before accepting the challenge.  

The Half Spinal Twist Yoga Pose 

As it is evident from the name that it requires your spine to get twisted and to twist your spine, you need a back like rock which should never bother you in any position.  


These are some of the yoga poses which are very difficult to execute and if you have noticed something that all of the above mentioned poses require very strong back.  They involve your back in the process somehow which demands that you should practice on regular and easy poses and develop your back so much that you can execute these advanced poses of yoga.
