Yoga

Nowadays everybody wants to learn 'Yoga " which is a way of life for many in the world. Yoga will keep you healthy and your life becomes much easier once you start practising YOGA. I myself doing YOGA since last 12 years I do SURYANAMASKAR every day. At least 12 NAMASKARA I do every day. Sunday. I don't do YOGA that’s a rest day for me. I will go for walk on the hill that day so it is a little variation in the exercise also. So it doesn’t become monotonous. Human tendency is that if we do something for long we get bored of it. No matter what it is. We get bored with YOGA too if we do it without any break. So I skip it for one day and simply take rest or do another type of exercise like jogging, hill climbing etc.

So for YOGA we can do it anytime anywhere it doesn’t need any instruments or big space only 6*3 feet area is enough and we just need a mat for YOGA. Don't have to go anywhere else, at home we can do YOGA. And anytime we of the day. Only thing is that our stomach should be empty that means we should not have food before 2 hours of YOGA and any drinks before 1 hour. So you can do it in the morning when you wake up that is the best time for any exercise and so for YOGA too. Because you are fresh and no disturbances like phone or TV etc. is there. So you can perform YOGA peacefully.

The second thing is you need a YOGA mat or any mat so that the energy doesn’t flow through the floor. You must do some warm-up exercises first so that your body is well prepared for exercise. And at last, must do SHAVASAN for cooling down.

Now about actual YOGA exercise. YOGA is basically a combination of breathing and physical movements. With controlled breathing, you start feeling better and calm. You must concentrate on breathing while doing all the movements. When you stretch your body you have to inhale slowly and when you loosen your body you have to breathe out slowly. That is the biggest and most important thing in YOGA. In fact, it can have a reverse impact if we don't follow the rule. Breathing is the most important factor in YOGA.

Like in SURYA NAMASKARA when you stretch your hands up that is your second position., you must breathe in slowly. Then when you bend down for the third pose you have to breathe out or exhale slowly. So always remember this thing stretching – breath in, loose body- exhale. If you do only 12 SURYA NAMASKARA every day that is enough for you to keep you fit and healthy. YOGA gives peace of mind. and you will start feeling better after a few days since all your body is stretched you will feel some changes in your body like your neck ache, backache is gone your are more energetic and relax. As you control and concentrate on breathing it relaxes your mind too and makes you feel calm. and you will find that your concentration level also increased. after a few months of regular practice, your body will be totally pain-free. and you will feel more positive since when there is no pain in the body we are more productive as it is very natural that when you are having pain your mind is always occupied with the pain and you are unable to concentrate on your work. So this part will be definitely going to improve and you will be more productive and enthusiastic.

PRANAYAMA is also a part of YOGASANA but it should be performed under the guidance of a well-known person only. Otherwise, it may have adverse effects. There are various types of pranayamas but few are very popular and comparatively easy to perform like ANULOM VILOM, KAPALBHATI, DEERGHA SHWASAN, BHRAMARI, UDGITH etc. They can even cure diseases if performed regularly and correctly.



Meditation is also a part of Yoga. Meditation is you have to sit upright straight with your hand either in any Mudra or just keep in on each other in the middle and close your eyes. Try to observe the breathing. Going out and coming in. Cool breath is coming in and warm breath is going out. Sit for a few minutes. Initially, start with a couple of minutes and then you can increase the timing. If you meditate regularly for 15 minutes daily you can even cure a few of your diseases.
