One of the biggest wonders of Yoga is its uniqueness. Every time you step on the mat, you will experience something new—new emotions flooding through the head and new sensations running through the body. The charismatic art offers endless benefits if explored, learnt, and practiced properly. Most of us are limited to specific benefits of yoga, because we start being easy with yoga lessons over time.

As yoga is unpredictable, it is recommended to not take your yoga lessons lightly. Every day you will learn something new and gain something fresh. So, the question is how to avail the maximum benefits from yoga lessons? How to explore its hidden potentials through yoga teachings? Well, it is quite simple. Here is a list of ways to make the most of what is being taught to you in a yoga class. Experience the inexperienced benefits of yoga with these:

Yoga Vidya

Think like a beginner: It is a well known fact that when we are new to something, we learn with full enthusiasm and eagerness. Instead of anticipating and showing off your knowledge, learn each technique, each pose, and each principle of yoga with a fresh perspective. Be inquisitive and behave easy. Not necessarily the poses you consider ‘basic’ will give you the same feeling every time. Sometimes the experienced ones can face difficulty too while performing them. Being an experienced practitioner doesn’t mean you have to force your body to attempt the ‘basic’ asanas, even when you are not comfortable. It is totally ‘Okay!’ to skip any discomforting movements. The purpose of yoga is to relax your body, not beat it.

Interact with your teacher: When your yoga lesson starts, always listen to each and every word. Try to understand the depth of each word. Realise the importance and enjoy the essence of each word, phrase, and instruction given in your lessons. If you do not get what is being explained, or have a different perspective on the subject being discussed, come ahead and discuss it. Rather than losing your mind in the maze of queries, interact with your teacher and clear all your doubts. Remember, you are not here to just listen and follow; you are taking the lesson to learn and gain. So, never hold yourself back, when it comes to expanding your yoga knowledge.

Leave your ego at your doorstep: No matter how much of a seasoned practitioner you are, your proficiency should not reflect in the form of ego in your yoga learning. If you do not know how to incorporate certain technique or tool properly in your yoga practice, do not be afraid to ask or seek assistance. Always remember, learning has no age.

Stay focused: It is essential to calm your buzzing mind and pay attention to what is being taught in your yoga lesson. Our mind is always occupied with worries and bothering thoughts. Instead of focusing on what is being taught, if we focus on the thoughts of the past and future during a session, there is no benefit of taking yoga lessons. Due to your inattentiveness, you can skin something crucial from your yoga practice. Skipping an important step will not only make your practice futile but, can also lead to injury, discomfort, etc.

Stick to your intention: To understand the essence of yoga is not that easy. It is your intention which will remind you of what you wish to gain from the yoga practice. It is your intention which will remind you why you started taking this lesson. It will bring you back in the moment, to your peace and purpose. With a set intention, you will be motivated throughout the entire yoga session.

So, immerse in the essence of yoga with complete dedication and gain something new from each yoga lesson.
