Yoga is a physical and mental practice that involves the body, mind and spirit. The practice, which originated in India, is designed to enhance awareness, create a mind-body-spirit balance, cleanse, heal and strengthen the body, liberate the true self and, as practiced today, improve fitness. The most common form practiced in the United States is hatha yoga, which includes specific movements or postures (asana) and various breathing techniques (pranayama) and is often complimented with meditation (dhyana).

Ray Long MD’s Practice Guidelines:
(1) Common Sense. Don’t force yourself into a pose. In many yoga postures, joints can be taken to the extremes of their
range of motion. Forcing the body into a position can injure the cartilage, ligaments, and muscles surrounding the joints. [Your
instructor] provides guidelines on how to use physiology to safely dissolve blockages and increase joint mobility. Use these
guidelines to design your practice. Applying your knowledge of physiology rather than forcing yourself into a pose is akin to the
ancient Chinese proverb, “If you have difficulty reaching your goal, keep the goal, but change your strategy.”
(2) Discipline. Yoga is about freedom – freedom of movement, thoughts, and energetic flow. Therefore, use discipline in
moderation. Balance intensity with consistency. Regular practices of shorter duration are superior to high-intensity binges.
Short and consistent practice integrates yoga into your life and produces long lasting shifts and openings of energetic channels.
Another way to apply discipline in your practice is to take a moment to reflect on your session immediately after Savasana, or
the final relaxation. Consider what went well and how you have improved; then leave it. This short reflection helps to
consolidate the training session into your neural circuitry. Remember that the unconscious mind integrates your hard work into
the body between sessions. Conscious reflection links your practice to the unconscious and multiplies this effect.
(3) Attention to detail. Art Historian Aby Warburg once said, “God is in the details.” When practicing, Hatha Yoga with
precise alignment, the body becomes a vehicle to union. As we breathe and move through the poses, chemical changes that
take place produce a feeling of well-being and relaxation. Our drishti, or focus, combines with these chemical changes to quiet
and calm the mind. If you concentrate your drishti on the muscles that position the joints, your postures and alignment will
improve and your state of mind will, too.
