First thing you can do is Celebrate!\u00a0 That’s right, turn up your favorite tunes and dance around the streets because what you have done for your body & your life is such an incredible gift.<\/p>\n
Unlike the Gym or the usual Fitness routine your Yoga practice draws your body deeper into the process of healing without the intense micro-trauma that lifting weights and doing push ups might bring. \u00a0Although, activities like lifting weights are helpful for your body, creating a balanced routine is essential. \u00a0Your yoga postures work in synchronicity with your bodies healing functions to balance the distribution of nutrients, energies, and unconscious awareness.\u00a0 When you get out of your first Hot Yoga class you may feel as though your entire body has been shaken back to life.\u00a0 When you wake up the next day that feeling might be more like your whole body just got run over by a bus.\u00a0 Well, maybe not that sore but, you get the picture.\u00a0 The next natural question is: “Do I go back to yoga today or wait for the soreness to subside?”.\u00a0 A great way to look at this is to think about the primary reason why you are sore.\u00a0 Mostly it is because you have accessed areas of your body either muscle, tendon, ligament, organ or gland that you have not had the pleasure to say “hello” to in quite a while.\u00a0 This re-introduction may not always feel pleasant, like using a brand new muscle it gives you a bit of feedback on how it feels to be left out for all that time.<\/p>\n
