What is Happening to Me?
Answers for Students Who are New to The Yoga Experience
by Cynthia Funk & Kimberley Sopinka

For those students who are new to yoga, or who have limited experience, we would like to emphasize the potency of its methods. Rapid changes in body and mind are soon experienced and benefits appreciated when all of the yoga techniques are harmoniously combined.

EmmaThis is not so apparent when the various practical techniques of yoga are practiced in isolation from each other. If you are used to more superficial techniques of physical exercise, you may find the power of these changes initially more than you expect. It is NOT unusual for beginners to experience at different times any or all of the following: headaches, aching muscles, nausea, anger, grief, breathlessness, confusion and tiredness. These are symptoms of physiological and emotional discharge or detoxification.

Some kind of discomfort is unavoidable once we start to purify our systems through yoga and we should be encouraged rather than discouraged when this occurs. It is simply a question of toxins (and emotions) being released from adipose and organic tissue into the blood, from where it is brought to the skin to be expelled. In the case of tiredness it is due to the releasing of muscular and nervous tensions, which habitually mask feelings of chronic tiredness.

Equally you can expect to gain rapidly from the following physical and psychological benefits: flexibility, strength, stamina, respiration, digestion, elimination, vitality, alertness, concentration, tranquility, self-confidence, and self-esteem. In short, the greater fitness, better health and increased capacity for happiness can lead you to a richer life.

If your muscles ache the following day, the fastest way to relieve this is by doing whatever postures you can remember from your last practice. Try to do this everyday.

At The Yoga Sanctuary, we feel that we are part of your growth and transformation. Please do not hesitate to speak with any of our staff whenever you are experiencing the effects of yoga in your life.

Happy Journey!!
Kimberley and Cynthia
