You don't need anything but comfortable clothes
The yoga , so omnipresent for some time now, is much more than fashion . "For me, yoga is being able to have control of my mind and my body to be the best version of myself every day and to be able to live happily with what I have at the present moment. Yoga is the link with the reality of your body", explains Lucia Liencres , professor of this discipline since, six years ago, she decided to leave the legal profession to fully embrace her passion.
"The power to control the mind is the ability to remove everything that is an obstacle to be happy . Controlling the body is achieved through the practice of asanas (yoga postures), which make our body and mental patterns change and purify, and we also learn to breathe**", continues the expert.
Without a doubt, if there is any moment in which we should try to be happy in the present, modulate our thoughts and connect with our body, it is now. "By practicing yoga during this time of lockdown, you can disconnect a little from the avalanche of information ", tells Traveler.es Liencres. "Stop to take care of yourself, to keep fit and to relax your mind is essential these days."
It's the best time to learn
Also, if you are one of those who always puts obstacles when practicing sports, these extraordinary circumstances have almost left you without them. "We tell ourselves that we never have time, but now there is no excuse . The important thing is to put yourself in a closed room, as if you were not there for an hour, and that nobody bothers you," says the yogini.
Getting down to work is easy: as Liencres assures, it is not necessary to have attended any class before to get started in this practice, and furthermore, we don't need anything we don't have at home . "If you have a mat, use it; otherwise, a towel and comfortable clothes are enough," she details.
**HOW TO START? **
There are thousands of videos, apps and websites that are used to start practicing yoga, but precisely that multitude of options sometimes slows us down, because we don't know which one to choose. Liencres, with around 50,000 followers on Instagram and more than 10,000 on YouTube, recommends her classes for beginners: ' Five days to get started in yoga '. You will only need half an hour a day to get the taste of the practice.
Likewise, due to the exceptional circumstances in which we find ourselves, which have led to the closure of The Class school, the teachers of the center offer all classes in streaming . "If you want to join, you only have to send an email to [email protected] so that we can register you. We have yoga seven days a week, about five classes a day, so that no one is left without their session", we bill.
Another recommendation, this time from the editorial staff of Traveler? the app daily-yoga , which offers more than 500 yoga and meditation sessions organized into around a hundred specific programs: for beginners, to strengthen the back, to relax after a hard day's work, to relieve menstrual pain... Impossible not to find the one that fits you!
