Yoga exercise is full of stretching

Yoga exercise is used to develop flexibility, strength, and stamina. There are various styles of yoga which offer different approaches. Yoga exercise is self-motivating because, after a short time of regular practice, one finds that the body actually enjoys practicing Yoga exercises.

As the personality becomes quieter and freer from stress demands, the person finds more time to pay attention to inner feelings, needs, and thoughts. Yoga exercise is gentle, non-violent and powerful. Interestingly, research shows that yoga exercise burns less calories (0.8 per minute) than even a resting person (0.9 per minute) and much less than other types of exercise (14 per minute and upwards).


Yoga exercise is full of stretching, flexing, and bending. Can your normal excercise clothes bend with you? Yoga Exercise is not a competition, so just relax and try again. Moreover, do not try Yoga Postures which are beyond your capabilities. Yoga exercise is psychosomatic for the practitioner – harmonising both body and mind. The system of Yoga in Daily Life� is divided into eight steps, starting with Sarva Hitta Asanas, which are postures that are beneficial for all.
Yoga exercise is a perfectly balanced program that can be started by anyone above the age of eight. Your practice can be made more challenging as you progress or take it easy on days which you are fatigued.


Practicing yoga regularly will tone and firm your body while burning calories. The relaxation techniques will also help you curb "stress eating. Practicing yoga focuses on a freeing of the spirit and mind of the individual in order to enhance the practice of union with God through the one breathe. Instruction of yoga for beginners also incorporates a series of physical movements. Practicing in the morning will help you revitalize your mind and body, keep you energized and ready for work. Meditation and Relaxation Techniques is also advised during the night for restful, more peaceful sleep.

A Beginner’s Guide To Yoga Positions

A Beginner’s Guide To Yoga Positions



Yoga is increasingly gaining popularity as more and more people resort to it in an effort to de-stress after a hectic, chaotic day. If you are new to yoga and have decided to go it alone and not join a yoga class, you would need to do a lot of research on yoga positions for beginners. With the wealth of information on yoga available to you at your fingertips, all you need now is time to sift through it all and come up with the ideal program that suits you best.



Though a lot of yoga positions for beginners are easily available, it is not as easy as it sounds. You need to familiarize yourself with some basics before you get started or else you could end up tying yourself into a knot.



The most important things you need to know if you want to take up yoga are the prerequisites for yoga. There are certain dos and don’ts that you absolutely have to adhere to. Yoga, though a rather flexible activity is rather inflexible in many ways. Yoga can be practiced by people of all ages, but it is recommended that children under the age of twelve practice yoga only for shorts periods of time. If you are doing yoga for health reasons, you should be aware that to achieve the full health benefits of yoga you need to devote a minimum of 30-45 minutes a day towards yoga practice. The ideal time to practice yoga is early morning when you have just woken up from a restful sleep and the rest of the world is still asleep and peaceful. Yoga can also be practiced later in the day, but you have to make sure that certain diet restrictions are followed.



The philosophy of yoga recommends that yoga should be ideally practiced on an empty stomach. That’s one of the reasons why the best time to practice yoga is early in the morning. You need to plan your diet for the day if you plan on practicing yoga positions anytime during the day. Any liquid has to be had a minimum of one hour before yoga practice. Solid food, though allowed, should be eaten in limited quantities.



Yoga should ideally be practiced in an airy spacious room, free from any distractions and disturbances, as you need intense concentration to get it right. Apart from this, all you need for yoga is a carpet or a floor mat and loose comfortable clothing. It is recommended that you wear undergarments while practicing yoga.



Yoga is very beneficial towards your physical as well as mental well-being. It relaxes the body and stimulates the mind. If done well and all the rules are adhered to, the benefits could be amazing. To achieve ultimate results, the beginner must have absolute faith in the practice of yoga and must learn to concentrate fully on the every little movement during practice.

Mind and Self

Mind and Self

You cannot be surprised that under these conditions of continueddisappearance of functions, the unfortunate student asks: " Whatbecomes of the mind itself? If you suppress all the functions,what is left?" In the Indian way of teaching, when you come to adifficulty, someone jumps up and asks a question. And in thecommentaries, the question which raises the difficulty is alwaysput.

The answer of Patanjali is: "Then the spectator remains inhis own form."

Theosophy answers: "The Monad remains." It is theend of the human pilgrimage. That is the highest point to whichhumanity may climb: to suppress all the reflections in thefivefold universe through which the Monad has manifested hispowers, and then for the Monad to realise himself, enriched bythe experiences through which his manifested aspects have passed.But to the Samkhyan the difficulty is very great, for when he hasonly his spectator left, when spectacle ceases, the spectatorhimself almost vanishes. His only function was to look on at theplay of mind. When the play of mind is gone, what is left? He canno longer be a spectator, since there is nothing to see.

The onlyanswer is: " He remains in his own form." He is now out ofmanifestation, the duality is transcended, and so the Spiritsinks back into latency, no longer capable of manifestation.There you come to a very serious difference with the Theosophicalview of the universe, for according to that view of the universe,when all these functions have been suppressed, then the Monad isruler over matter and is prepared for a new cycle of activity, nolonger slave but master.

Yoga Is a Science

Yoga Is a Science For yoga beginner

ext, Yoga is a science. That is the second thing to grasp. Yogais a science, and not a vague, dreamy drifting or imagining. Itis an applied science, a systematized collection of laws appliedto bring about a definite end. It takes up the laws ofpsychology, applicable to the unfolding of the wholeconsciousness of man on every plane, in every world, and appliesthose rationally in a particular case.
This rational applicationof the laws of unfolding consciousness acts exactly on the sameprinciples that you see applied around you every day in otherdepartments of science.

You know, by looking at the world around you, how enormously theintelligence of man, co-operating with nature, may quicken"natural" processes, and the working of intelligence is as"natural" as anything else. We make this distinction, andpractically it is a real one, between "rational" and "natural"growth, because human intelligence can guide the working ofnatural laws; and when we come to deal with Yoga, we are in thesame department of applied science as, let us say, is thescientific farmer or gardener, when he applies the natural lawsof selection to breeding.

The farmer or gardener cannot transcendthe laws of nature, nor can he work against them. He has no otherlaws of nature to work with save universal laws by which natureis evolving forms around us, and yet he does in a few years whatnature takes, perhaps, hundreds of thousands of years to do. Andhow? By applying human intelligence to choose the laws that servehim and to neutralize the laws that hinder. He brings the divineintelligence in man to utilise the divine powers in nature thatare working for general rather than for particular ends.

THE NATURE OF YOGA -

For yoga beginner

In this first discourse we shall concern ourselves with thegaining of a general idea of the subject of Yoga, seeking itsplace in nature, its own character, its object in humanevolution.
