Yoga is the safest practice in the world! However, for some reason people tend to make the same mistakes over and over. We try to strive for better in life and on a yoga mat. How to do it without hurting ourselves? The main secret lies in HOW we do yoga poses. Better not always means lower, higher, longer, stronger, etc. When we start learning an asana we need to understand our body but it takes time. Here will be some safe tips for forward bends when you stand and when you sit. Avoid these mistakes and your yoga practice will bring you far more enjoyment. Remember that success in yoga is determined not by how many poses you can do and how long you can stay in one or another pose but in regularity of your practice. If you practice yoga regularly then you are the winner! When you practice you work only with yourself as other people will be working with themselves. Forget about everything else during the practice as there should be only you. ------
