Different Tips for Yoga:

Apart from correct poses and doing on regular basis, there are some tips as well. Like it Yoga should always be done with empty stomach. In yoga session, simple poses can be tough, so it should be done under the guidance of instructor. 

As Diet comes as a part of yoga, this is the good thing about it. But it is not an restriction, because as per many instructors, diet control should be their to maintain healthy body. In this diet control, you are providing everything to the body which it needs, but still you are controlling the excess calories. But excessive reduction in the calories is not recommended. 

Exercise to rejuvenate Mind: 

As we know that Yoga is a good weight loss exercise, this is because most of its asanas are combined with pranayama or yogic breathing exercises. So when they are combined with pranayama, the metabolic rate gets increased and which burns calories must faster than a increase in hart rate. Due to increase in blood circulation, the body gets heat up, which reduce the pain in the joints as well. Try to keep your mind empty, while doing Yoga, it will be much more beneficial for you.
