- Try breathing in deeply and do not do other activities while yoga.
- Drink lots of water to keep you hydrated.
- Before you start your yoga session, breathe in deeply 5 times. It has been known to calm you down before you do anything else. If you are feeling very stressed, try 10 or 15 breaths.
- Make sure you perform the moves properly, as a mistake could cause serious injury.
- Hire a yoga instructor if you would like to know more yoga poses. Also, your instructor could properly teach you yoga, instead of reading it off the internet.
