Always, in yoga , whether you are a beginner or are advanced, you are each day pushing your body just a little farther. You should think of it like you are an explorer going into new territory. Wise explorers go slowly, for they never know what is around the next bend. It can be harmful to come out of a pose too fast. It is a single most sure way to hurt yourself in yoga, to ambush your poor muscles, take them unawares.
