A sedentary lifestyle and environmental problems are increasingly prompting people to carefully monitor their health, and the Internet makes it possible to draw an unlimited amount of information about all modern trends. So the ancient oriental art of yoga, which came to us from India, is gaining more and more popularity.
Yoga is not just a set of exercises aimed at improving stretching and keeping the body in good shape. This is one of the systems of Indian philosophy, a way of life aimed at self-knowledge and the attainment of enlightenment.
If you treat yoga only as a set of exercises and postures (in yoga they are called asanas), then it will become just gymnastics, which will allow you to improve your health and shape, as well as improve the work of internal organs. After the first two to three months of regular practice, you will notice significant changes for the better.
Regular yoga practice can help you cope not only with most chronic diseases, but also fill you with vitality and it will be much easier for you to cope with stress.
The good thing about yoga is that you don't need special equipment to practice. A little free space and a gymnastics mat are enough. Therefore, everyone can practice yoga.
However, the optimal condition for yoga practice is silence. It will allow you to focus on your feelings and concentrate as much as possible.
Do not try to take difficult asanas right away. Start a little at a time. No tearing. If you are experiencing discomfort, it is better to do the exercise not to the end. Gradually, the body will settle down and you will succeed. Gradually move on to more complex ones. Let us remind you that you should not experience absolutely any discomfort. All asanas should be two-sided. If the pose is asymmetrical, then first do on one side, then on the other.
Correct breathing is very important for yoga practice: inhale, hold, exhale. If your breathing is wrong, muscles tense in jerks and you will not be able to achieve the positive effect of the exercise.
Exercise should not be started on a full stomach. You should refrain from exercising at least 2 hours after eating.
Try to practice at the same time. An excellent tool for doing yoga is meditation, that is, the ability to concentrate within yourself.
Yoga is perfect for those who strive to be healthy, successful and calm. She will help you understand yourself and cope with many of life's troubles encountered in your life.
