Beginners

Yoga beginners, welcome!

Congrats on your decision to change your life and start your yoga.

Here at Alive in the Fire, I believe in encouraging people of all ages and levels of athleticism to experience yoga.

Check out these posts to get started, and feel free to contact me with any questions.

Dharma Yoga

• Dharma Yoga offers classes rooted in the ancient wisdom of classical yoga. In and out of class, we practice being open to what's possible, being receptive to what's happening in our bodies right now, and sharing a common experience with others.
• If you Dharma, you may suddenly find your foot behind your head. :) Not because you forced it, but because you let go.

Bikram Yoga

• An in-depth guide to surviving your first Bikram class.
• We are all beginners, every class. That's why the teacher says, "Welcome to Bikram's beginning yoga class."
• On having no fear and having fun in class. You choose not to suffer. 
• What to eat and drink before class in the Hot Room.
• How to quit the fidget and get focused in class.
• Visit Bikram Headquarters to find certified studios near you, get more information on Bikram Yoga Teacher Training, and read the official posture guide.

Hatha Yoga & More

• Do you feel flustered with questions in class? That's normal. Embrace your curiosity and ask away. Be patient and the answers will come. This post is great if you want to learn more about various styles of yoga, too.
• Calm your Bikram fire by taking a restorative Yin Yoga class.
• Interested in the meditative art of qigong? After you read this post, you will be.

Meditation

• New to meditation? Start with an easy online workday practice.
• Be fearless with this simple meditation.
• Learn to accept that you're perfect just the way you are.
• Thoughts on learning how to become the witness.
• Experience deep relaxation with yoga nidra. This is a great tool for those suffering from anxiety, depression and insomnia.
• Take your practice a step further by scheduling yourself a meditation retreat day.
