By prioritizing yoga and staying flexible with your practice, you can enjoy its benefits despite a busy schedule.
How can I overcome procrastination about attending
yoga sessions?
Establish a regular routine.
Focus on yoga’s immediate benefits.
Address barriers hindering your attendance.
Why do I prioritize social activities over yoga
despite my enthusiasm for it?
Distraction
Social activities provide immediate gratification
and distract from yoga.
Habit
Established routines with family and friends
overshadow yoga practice.
Instant Gratification
Functions and entertainment offer immediate
pleasure compared to yoga's gradual benefits.
Stress Relief
Socializing or watching movies may feel like quick
stress relief.
Perception of Importance
Social activities may seem more enjoyable or
important.
Why practice yoga if I’m already in good shape?
Enhances flexibility, strength, and muscle tone.
Promotes mental well-being and a deeper mind-body
connection.
Prevents injuries and supports holistic wellness.
Encourages longevity and healthy aging.
Should others’ reluctance to attend yoga affect my
decision?
Your choice to practice yoga should reflect your
own motivations and well-being.
Focus on the physical and mental benefits you gain.
Attend sessions solo or find a supportive
community -your health takes priority.
Is walking a better alternative to yoga?
Yoga offers unique benefits like improved flexibility, strength, balance, and
stress reduction, which walking alone cannot fully provide. It also
incorporates mindfulness and breathwork, enhancing mental well-being.
Why did I experience severe body pain after my yoga sessions?
Body pain may result from pushing too hard or attempting poses beyond your
ability.
How can I overcome fear due to a bad experience?

Taking a break to process the experience is valid.
Overcoming Fear
A practical instructor can help rebuild confidence
and ease fear naturally.
My instructor demonstrates advanced poses that
intimidate me.
Demonstrating advanced poses may aim to inspire students to set goals and
improve. If it feels overwhelming, consider seeking an instructor with a
different teaching style.
How can I tell if my yoga instructor is qualified?
Observation
Note their teaching style, clarity, and pose
demonstrations.
Certifications
Look for displayed qualifications or recognized
training.
Experience
Casually ask about their teaching background.
Feedback
Seek reviews or recommendations from others.

What if knee pain makes me hesitant?
Use knee support like braces or pads during sessions. Yoga combined with
dietary changes can ease discomfort over time. For severe pain, consult your
doctor for personalized advice.
What
should I wear for yoga?
Wear comfortable clothing, like cotton leggings or track bottoms with a
collarless t-shirt, suitable for Malaysia’s climate. Avoid oversized or overly
tight outfits that might hinder movement.
Do I
need shoes for yoga?
Yoga is traditionally practiced barefoot for better ground connection and
balance. If needed, opt for yoga socks with grip for stability.
Should
I tie up my hair?
Tying up hair is recommended to avoid distractions and discomfort during poses.
Can
I wear jewelry during yoga?
It's best to remove jewelry like earrings, necklaces, or rings to prevent
discomfort or injury.
How
long before yoga can I eat?
Avoid heavy meals within two hours before practice. A light snack like a banana
or biscuit is fine if needed.
Can
I drink water during yoga?
Small sips are okay, but avoid excessive water to prevent discomfort,
especially in poses like inversions.
What
yoga mat should I use?
Invest in a thick, non-slip mat for better support and safety. Clean it
regularly to maintain hygiene.
Why
am I not seeing progress after two months?
Yoga progress takes time and consistency. Attend sessions at least twice
weekly, focusing on alignment and technique for steady improvement in strength,
flexibility, and stamina.
