Yoga benefits

[Guest guest]

I work a physically demanding job as a ramp agent for a major airline.

When I finish, my legs and knees are always sore. I have never done

yoga before. I am a stocky man. How do I get started?

Hello,

I recommend the site:

 

 

where you will find a lot of information on Kundalini Yoga, and online

instruction, and books and DVD's.

 

You can also search that site to see if there is a teacher or ashram

near you. That would be the best way to learn and practice Kundalini Yoga.

Hi there,

Find a local class. Do internet search on 'find kundalini yoga teacher'

 

http://www.kundaliniyoga.com has a link to teacher search.

 

If there is no local class there are people that sell DVD's such as

whatsnew.html

 

You can travel to workshops or go to a yoga festival or White Tantric day

(magic!). I have only been to one festival (the European K yoga Festival) it was

magic.

 

You can buy books of kriyas and do them at home.

 

If you dont have a local teacher you can try other types of yoga too - they

arent as good of course!? !? I do an Ashtanga and a Hatha class but do K yoga at

home every day. They maybe aren't as effective as K yoga but there is always

some new awareness or benefit that comes from them.

 

Doing K yoga 40 day kriyas is the best thing. Everything else is just to inspire

& encourage you do do a regular daily practice. And to show you that if you

really push yourself you get the most changes. When I do get to a class it

always shows me that I could push myself harder at home.

 

I also value meditation groups too. Proper yoga is all about meditation. I used

to do a hard K yoga kriya at home before going go to a zen group - for me each

boosted the other.

 

Yoga is an 'all over' process. Maybe someone can advise you on something that

will help your legs and knees best.

Personally I think it may be best to explore the yoga in a general way and as

you learn you will find what is best for you. At the start to concentrate on a

specific problem risks slowing down your over all progress. Maximum benefits for

everything including you knees comes from

maximum 'all over' progress.

 

Good luck. I am sure K yoga can do you a lot of good.

Keith.
