Benefits of Yoga 

Breathing pattern is very important even if you are doing a simplest pose in yoga. Breathing determines how effective a particular pose can be and also helps in concentration. Reading and practicing yoga can be good, but sometimes some contraindications are associated with each pose, that is when a particular pose is not done in a correct manner then it can cause some muscle tear. For example cobra pose – if you bend back more than desired or in a manner which is not comfortable for you, you can get a back injury, headache or carpel tunnel syndrome. Also this is contraindicated in pregnancy. So all the pose has their respective benefits but cautions and contraindications are also attached with them. Certain poses are not recommended if you have high blood pressure or if you suffer from asthma or any heart diseases. A good source will generally provide all the information related to a particular pose like where to breathe, where to exhale, good for which condition or not recommended for which condition. It would be wise to consult a certified yoga teacher and learn few basic lessons from her before starting any regime, especially if you are not confident for the manner in which you practice.
