Why You Should Try Yoga Today

You ask, for the reason that you would like to know more than what everybody thinks about yoga – that thing you do when you go into a room with a group of girls in very stretchy clothes and try to tie yourself into very complicated knots for an hour.

Wrong.

Well… Mostly wrong.

A long time ago in a galaxy far away, a bunch of Hindu wise men sat in meditation for hours and hours. For weeks and months and years they sat and chanted and read and talked with each other about what they learned, rarely standing or walking or lifting things. It probably didn’t take long for them to realize that as they tried to improve their minds and souls, they were absolutely neglecting their bodies.

While a predictable wisdom may have shrugged and said “Meh. Bodies aren’t as important as the other stuff”, these wise men knew that their body and their strength were one, and that losing touch with one aspect of themselves was harming the whole.

Clearly, their weak muscles, stiff joints, and poor balance needed to be improved. They had to reunite body and mind. The ultimate multi-taskers, they invented a system of movement that combined meditation, self-discovery, and seriously hardcore exercise, all in one. They invented yoga, which in Sanskrit means Union (or yoking, as in “harnessing together”).

Okay, but what IS Yoga, really?

You want to get to the point.

I respect that.

Yoga is a string of very particular body-weight posture and movements which are intended to get better the body in more than a few important areas. There is an almost infinite variety (over 908, last count I’ve heard) of poses that each work your entire body, focusing on unusual goals to develop both strength and flexibility at the same time. In general they fall into the following categories:

·         Forward bends

·         Back bends

·         Balancing poses

·         Seated and twisting poses

·         Standing poses

·         Arm balance poses

·         Core poses

·         Inversion (Upside-down) poses

·         Restorative poses

As well as various breathing techniques. Those ancient wise men realize that community spend a lot of time breathing, and it’s kind of imperative, so proper yoga requires a lot of concentration to learn how to control and optimize your breath.

Each pose has mutually beginner and more advanced version, range from simple, to extremely advanced. Beginner yoga be able to be done by ANYONE, apart from of ability, while the really advanced stuff puts acrobatics to shame.

Poses are carefully balanced so that your body is worked evenly:

·         A forward bend is followed by a backward bend.

·         Inversions follow standing.

·         Left side follows right.

There are a few extensively renowned sequences of poses, such as the Sun Salutation, which is either an exceedingly meaningful practice or a yogic pushup/backbend/stretch which is done in a few minutes, or the Moksha Series, which takes as regards an hour to complete and pretty much does everything most people want out of yoga. Outside of that, most practice sessions are rarely the same twice.
