: Seeking an experienced yoga teacher is probably one of the best ways to improve yoga practice. Hence, enroll for a yoga studio or a yoga class in your area. But, before you enroll for any such studio, make sure it meets the basic needs. An experienced yoga teacher, timings, strength of the class, type of yoga style taught, etc. are some of the basic features you must ask from the studio while enrolling for the same.
3. Do not extend your body’s limit:
Feeling painful while practicing a particular pose? Do not practice that pose, it’s a sign from the body that you are extending body limits. Be conscious of such signs and discontinue the practice. You can either ask your teacher to modify the pose as per your body’s requirement or give your body some time before you move to that pose.
4. Include pranayama in yoga practice:
Pranayama is considered as the first step of the ladder to learning yoga. It corrects the dysfunctional breathing pattern and helps in achieving yogic breathing. Pranayama plays a crucial role in improving yoga practice. It helps you achieve calmness in the body. Moreover, it allows prana to flow through each chakra in the body and eventually, regulates them.

To immerse yourself into yoga, mastering yoga asanas isn’t enough. Learning about yoga, its philosophy, psychology, and evolution from three different periods are equally important. Yoga workshops and events are one of the best platforms to learn about the same. These events and workshops invite yoga masters, practitioners, beginners, and even professionals from all over the world. It helps you build strong basics in yoga as well as learn and explore the diversity of yoga.

In order to memorize and keep it fresh, you can maintain an archive for your practice. The archive will keep a track of your teachings, new learnings, performance as well as modifications, etc. It will eventually help you improve.
8. Add props in the session:
Another creative way of improving yoga practice is, add props in the yoga sessions. You may include blocks, straps, belts, blankets, etc. These props will help you target the area and engage the same, more effectively. You may also enroll in restorative yoga to gain experience of such yoga style. It will help you focus the area and releases tension and chronic stress from the body.
9. Never underestimate meditation:
To immerse in yoga fully, you must practice meditation. Beginners often underestimate the power of meditation because they lack knowledge. Instead, they need to understand that meditation helps you develop focus and clears the mind. It helps in building a connection between the physical and mental state which is the most crucial part of learning yoga. Moreover, it helps you develop wisdom for the advanced levels.
10. Buy a suitable yoga mat:
It may sound odd but, buying a suitable yoga mat is also an essential part of yoga practice. Performing yoga on a critical mat causes discomfort or may cause a slip, which may lead to injury. Some yoga studios provide mats; but, it is best to use personal one as it is hygienic.
