Posted by Todorasa | Filed under Yoga
How many times have you woken up feeling tired, sluggish and worried? When you feel like this, do you wish you could curl up and stay in bed, perhaps you have an important business meeting and are apprehensive about your ability to deliver an effective presentation? Maybe, you have spent most of the night nursing a sickly child and now lack energy to get up and face your day.
Sometimes, you wake up with a stiff neck, sore back or tight, tense muscles. On days like this, the last thing you want to do is exercise.
Yoga - What Is It And What Does It Offer You?
Posted by Todorasa | Filed under Yoga
Long, long ago, in about the year 300, in a galaxy far, far away, an Indian Hindu named Patanjali developed a practice meant to stretch human muscles, strengthen human bodies, and increase human concentration. He called this practice “Yoga,” which means “discipline,” in his language. Practitioners soon discovered that, in addition to improving physical health and developing discipline, yoga also helped them to relax. Sometimes it helped people relax who had been having considerable trouble relaxing in other ways.
One of the most interesting (and for some, most confusing) aspects of yoga is that it can be simply a set of exercises, or it can be a total way of life. The choice is yours, as it is that of any practitioner. Yoga can be whatever you want it to be. Given what it can do for you, it’s no wonder that this ancient
discipline has become so popular with modern entertainers and athletes, as well as with average people like you and me, who just need a little practice to center our bodies and our minds. These days, relief from our stressful lives is the golden gem we’re all pursuing. This discipline tells us that relief can be found in our own stretched bodies and quieted minds.
