YOGA: Your fitness guru!

What is  Yoga ?

 

The literal translation of the word “yoga” from Sanskrit (known as the original language of yoga) is “union,” says Sherwin.

And that is the proper basis for describing yoga as we know it today, he explains. "We define it as connecting the mind and body through the spirit."

 

Many people are already aware of the physical benefits of yoga and think of it as a form of exercise, says Sherwin. But yoga goes further. “The real way of life; The situation is only one part.

 

Yoga History 

 

The origins of Yoga can be traced back to northern India 5,000 years ago. The word yoga is first mentioned in the ancient scriptures known as the Rig Veda. The Vedas are a collection of four ancient Sanskrit texts. The Rig Veda is the first of the vedas and is a collection of more than a thousand songs and mantras in ten chapters known as the mandala, used by priests of the Vedic period. Yoga was developed and refined  by Rishis (scholars) who wrote down their beliefs and practices in the Upanishads, a masterpiece containing over 200 texts.

 

Yoga is one of the six schools of philosophy in Hinduism, and is a major part of Buddhism and its meditation rites.

Although yoga is traditionally practiced to promote well-being on a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual level, it is generally not viewed as a religious institution. Yoga can be practiced in a completely secular way, and is practiced by people of all faiths, as well as atheists and atheists, according to the Yoga Alliance.

 

 

4 TYPES  OF YOGA IN 4 ASPECTS 

These are just four facts in your life: body, mind, emotions, and energy.

Whatever you wish to do with it, it must be in these four levels. Whatever you wish to do, you can do only with your body, your mind, your emotions, or your strength.

* If you use your emotions and try to reach the end, we call this bhakti yoga. That means a way of giving up.

* If you use your ingenuity and try to reach the end, we call this gnana yoga. That means the way of wisdom.

* When you use your body, or physical activity to reach the end, we call this karma yoga. That means how to do it.

* If you change your energy and try to reach the end, we call this kriya yoga. That means an internal action.

 

 

YOGA - THE LAST UNION

 

When we say "yoga", for many of you it probably means an impossible physique or hard core poses. That's  not what we are talking about here. Yoga simply means having a perfect voice. When you do yoga, your body, mind and energy and your presence are completely compatible. When your body and mind are relaxed and at a certain level of happiness, you can be free from many of the diseases that worry you. Let’s say, go sit in your office with a headache. Your headache is not a major ailment, but just having a stroke may diminish your enthusiasm for the job and possibly your ability for the day. But with practice yoga, your body and mind can be kept in a very high position.
