thank you for taking the time to answer my question.
About a month ago I decided to give up all detrimental aspects affecting my body (alcohol mainly), and have been enjoying being completely sober. I am 18 years of age and have a very well built body, and have always liked exercise and working it everyday. While i was at college I started doing a small amount of yoga with some friends. At the beginning of my Christmas break I decided to follow through and do it every day ( which i have done ). I have tried to read as much as possible about it, but have not had professional assistance, I do about an hour of it right when i wake up. It feels great! as my day goes on I do normal stretches throughout the day along with 1 1/2 of working out. I am seeing improvement in my breathing, and flexibility along with the definition of my muscles. I enjoy it mostly for those reasons, I guess my question for you is it ok to workout in a day on top of yoga at the start of the day, as long as i give a sufficient break in between yoga and my workout? also as i said i love flexibility and muscle building poses ( like, warrior pose, downward dog, boat pose, plank pose ) any suggestions? also should i repeat the pose 2 times for more of a challenge or hold it longer during the same pose? lastly is there any good informational website you would like to inform me on?
THANK YOU SO MUCH again for taking time out to answer my question :)
Answer Dear Cameron,
I appreciate your efforts to give up the detrimental habits and following yogic practices. It is also great that you are speculating the positive effects thereof. I am happy to learn this.
I would suggest only that you should be conscious of the strain that you body indicates. The body must not be in over strained - disturbed breathing while you are following any pose - such indication of over strain or disturbed breathing indicates that you are either wrong in maintaining the pose or over strained.
I would suggest you to peruse all the contents of this wonderful website www.swamij.com - I wish you should be able to grasp each and every word of this website - this is my favourite site in respect of yoga / spiritualism.
Please feel free to write to me for any further clarifications / information either at this platform or directly to me at gulsoni@yahoo.com
With regards and best wishes for your healthy and spiritual mind and body,
