Besides the physical and emotional benefits of yoga Clontarf in New South Wales Australia, there is body awareness. I have seen a lot of yogis complaining about shoulder pain. While a yoga coach is not a doctor or a physical therapist, they know how to listen to the body and its cues and know when to back off. When teaching or learning yoga, it is important to listen to your body and modify your poses accordingly. Here are some body cues you should listen to in yoga.

Burning pain

In yoga, burning pain is not good at all. Balancing poses will lengthen and strengthen you but when it burns, you should bring the foot back to the ground. You can also try the pose on the ground in a supine or tabletop position. While a few yoga instructors might tell you to breathe through the burning pain, you should not. You shouldn’t push yourself too hard during yoga lessons because burning pain is an indication of an immobilized stiff ankle or joint.

Neck pain or stiffness

The common culprits of a stiff and swollen neck are headstands and being in an upside-down yoga pose for too long. If your head feels like it is throbbing or you are experiencing pain in your neck then you should stay off your head. You should see a doctor because you may be having an underlying serious medical condition.

Lightheadedness

Some yoga poses may cause you to be dizzy or lightheaded. It is important to listen to your body cues. You may be confusing vertigo to dizziness and continue doing hot yoga Clontarf in New South Wales Australia for a long time. Lightheadedness, vertigo or dizziness can get worse when your body is dehydrated so if you are doing hot yoga, you have got to drink enough water to rehydrate your body.
