Yoga Sessions and Muscle Soreness

 

 

Increase the Benefits of Yoga Sessions

Muscle soreness after Yoga practice may tell you that you’ve pushed yourself too much the day before or that your positioning was not quite right. There is one thing you can do after the session to ready yourself for the next session – self-massage.

Massage is a natural complement to yoga. Massage after your yoga session not only helps you relax and stave off subsequent soreness, it also can improve the hormonal, lymphatic, circulatory and energetic benefits of the poses. The coupling of these two health practices can provide more benefit than either practice on its own. A simple, quick self-massage which focusing on your joints, lymph nodes and pressure points can be done by anyone regardless of where or when your yoga session is held..

I heartily agree with this. I’m an avid Bikram Yogi, and I massage my hands and feet before class and after, and have found it really helps with any stiffness and/or pain directly associated with my yoga practice. It only takes a couple of minutes, but is so worth it!
