What is Yoga?
Yoga, in general, is a practice or discipline that helps the individual unify
his/her body, mind, and heart.
Yoga is a direct experience of the vast interrelatedness of all life and of all
things. You will feel at peace at the end of a yoga class because there is a
natural realignment of your body which leads to a natural realignment of your
perception of life and of who you are.
You will need to develop discipline and there is hard work involved
especially when you first begin.
Hatha Yoga is the study and practice of physical alignments and breath.
Yoga is much more that postural alignment and breathing.
If you stay with yoga long enough, you may discover a "spiritual awakening"
(for lack of a better phrase.) You will find out that who you are, is not just your
body, and not just the conversations in your mind.
Through steady practice, you will manifest less self-importance, less material
attachment, more capacity for joy, less judgmentalness, and more tolerance
toward others.
Yoga is about transformation, not hamstrings, but along the way we have to
take care of them. This is not dogma, but a direct experience. Yoga will open
your eyes to things you have not experienced before. It will take you beyond
the mundane survival level and into a whole new appreciation of life.
Genuine yoga will change your life, your habits, your body, your health, your
mind, your breathing patterns, your attitudes, your outlook. Yoga is about
learning from direct experience. You will develop wisdom of how your body
works most efficiently. You will learn how your conscious and unconsious
mind can either support or harm you, and then later, a deeper wisodm
naturally gets revealed. The benefits of Yoga will come to those who practice.
There are many types of Yoga. That which comes to mind first is Hatha Yoga
an element of Raja yoga, yoga that deals mainly with physical postures and
breathing. Karma Yoga emphasizes spiritual practice to help the individual
unify body, mind, and heart through certain practices in one’s daily life and
work. Bhakti Yoga, a devotional form, generally encompasses chanting,
reading of scriptures and worship practices. In general, Yoga is any practice
that can turn the practitioner inward to find and experience an individual’s
spiritual essence, to realize or awaken to his/her spiritual nature. Another
type of yoga is jnana yoga.
Each posture, or asana, is held for a period of time and synchronised with the
breath. Generally, a yoga session begins with gentle asanas and works up to
the more vigorous or challenging postures. A full yoga session should
exercise every part of the body and should include pranayama (breath
control practices), relaxation and meditation. The different postures or
asanas include:
* Lying postures
* Sitting postures
* Standing postures
* Forward bends
* Twisting postures
* Back bending postures
* Inverted, or upside down postures.
