Introduction
I want to thank you and congratulate you for downloading the book, Yoga for Beginners: Your Guide to Master Yoga Poses while calming your mind, be stress free, and boost your self-esteem!
Yoga is a belief that a mans mind, body and spirit should work in harmony with the environment and his own self. To achieve this, his emotions, actions and intelligence should all be in balance.
Most people nowadays are more interested in yoga as a form of exercise. Many are practicing yoga because it is proven to help calm the mind, reduce stress, relieve pain, and lose weight (which most often translates to an increase in confidence). As a matter of fact, many doctors now accept its therapeutic benefits as theyve seen it do wonders on their own patients.
Some who are not familiar with yoga think that it is an exercise composed of poses that are also impossible to do. This is why some people become rather hesitant about practicing it, or even trying it. Though it may be true that some poses require impressive flexibility, there are many poses that can be done by beginners or those who are still inflexible.
With this book, you will learn everything about how to begin practicing Yoga. It will teach you some basic techniques on how to prepare your body, mind, and spirit. It will teach also teach you how to slowly achieve the flexibility needed for advanced poses in a safe, gradual way (rushing things wont be beneficial in this kind of self-improvement pursuit as doing so will only lead to injury).
The book will also include basic sequences of poses, which you can use to create an exercise routine. Youll also discover what you need to learn about the essentials of yoga.
In other words, youll know exactly what you should prepare (such as mats and straps) before starting a healing exercise that can help you achieve a balanced and calm mind, spirit, and body. In addition, you will know the proper attire for doing yoga the sort of clothes that youll be able to move in.
If youre worried that youll only get to read about beginner-level poses and routines, you will be glad to know that this book also serves as a preview on the more advanced side of yoga. After all, most beginners eventually yearn to try something more challenging. To achieve a proper balance between enthusiasm and safety, several tips are also provided for those aiming to become advanced yoga practitioners.
As you might have heard, diet is also an important aspect of this mind-calming, stress-reducing, and confidence-boosting endeavor. Thats why this book also features an entire chapter dedicated to proper yoga nutrition. It wont be strict diet though, as you will only be taught how to food items that could help you reach your goal. Of course, that also means youll become more familiar with those that wont do you any good.
Thanks again for downloading this book, I hope you enjoy it!

Chapter 1: Yoga and All that You Need to Know before practicing it
Yoga is a practice that originated in India. It was discovered 500 years ago. It was developed to show the appreciation for the body. Ancient yogis believed that the body should be treated well and respected because it is the main medium for mans growth and work.
Yoga has six forms. These are breathing, meditation, exercise, devotion, self-control and service.
Most yogis, however, often follow only the three main forms of yoga which are breathing, meditation and exercise. These three forms are incorporated in what is known as Hatha Yoga.
Hatha Yoga
Hatha yoga is the most popular branch of yoga, especially in Western countries. It is usually perceived as an exercise which involves twisting and difficult posture, but it is more than just an exercise.
