What is yoga?
Yoga is a kind of exercise!

Yoga system is an art and knowledge in harmony with Brahma and the universe. The origin of yoga is recorded in the Vedas, the oldest culture in India. The great Indian ancient Tessa patanjali systematized it into a special spiritual realm —— Dhashana in the Yoga Sutra. After that, many important versions of yoga appeared, but Bo Li Dian's Yoga Sutra still has its unique and outstanding features. There is also an important introduction to Hada Yoga.

"Yoga" means "combination" in Sanskrit. Swami Vivekananda interprets "yoga" as "compressing one's own evolution into a life of material existence, or months or even hours." According to aurobindo, the meaning of "yoga" is a methodology to achieve self-improvement by developing the potential ability of individual existence. In other words, yoga symbolizes a certain process through which people can learn the most suitable lifestyle. After reaching this state, it becomes a permanent process, which needs firmness and vigilance, covering all aspects of life; The union between Atma and originalcause is Onenees.

In this compatible lifestyle, it is the most basic part of yoga to identify all the factors that cause diseases and use appropriate techniques to eliminate the effects of diseases. In this way, yoga, which was originally a science of personal spiritual growth, has also become a science of life and self-treatment.

Different from the past, today's yoga is no longer limited to asceticism, but adapts itself to modern city life. Yoga science and technology have been adjusted to meet the needs of modern lifestyle and its social logic, and medical experts in various disciplines, including modern medicine, are realizing the role of these technologies in preventing diseases and promoting health. Yoga accepts and serves modern science. Advanced knowledge that is regarded as essential for self-development. Yoga also needs to use these flexibly.

Yoga is a science and an art of life, which enables people to practice and exercise in physical, psychological, moral and spiritual aspects. No longer restricted by race, age, sex, religion, caste and belief. Yoga emphasizes the development of brotherhood, harmony, fraternity and equality, not only for people of different colors, castes, nationalities, ages and genders, but also for all life. This attitude makes yoga thought very clear and practical, frees people from all mental grievances and all mental, psychological and physical diseases caused by it, and steadily increases the breath of life in the poses, making the meditation theme specific poses closely harmonious with the sound, thus doubling the quality of life.

It has been circulating for 5,000 years or more and is the crystallization of India's long-standing wisdom.

Yoga is an easily injured sport, and the injury rate is higher than F 1. Medical experts believe that there are four kinds of people who are not suitable for practicing yoga, namely, patients with osteoporosis, patients with nervous system diseases, patients with disc herniation and patients with joint tissue problems. If these people are injured by yoga, their lives will be in danger. But many yoga studios and fitness instructors have not made it clear. Many practitioners began to practice blindly, and with the encouragement of the blind fitness coach, they overtrained their injuries until they had to go to the operating table. Therefore, experts warn everyone that if you want to lose weight and keep fit, you need reasonable aerobic exercise and reasonable diet to achieve your goal. If they have physical illness, they should go to the hospital. Yoga is not a panacea to solve problems. It's a high-risk sport. Many practitioners have been "taught" by yoga instructors, and practicing yoga should be vegetarian as much as possible and eat as little as possible, but this is a fallacy against science. People must take enough nutrition every day to survive healthily ... Many grotesque movements in yoga are absolutely not suitable for ordinary people, and even many acrobats have to practice from an early age. So it is conceivable that many yoga instructors are victims themselves, but in order to make money, they have to continue to contact and teach. Yoga is not a mass sport, and it needs very professional people to guide a small number of people to train, and the professional people should be sports experts with more than ten or even decades of practice experience. Don't compare with Madonna, she has enough money to invite such a professional teacher to meet her alone. Most people can't see such a professional teacher in practice. At present, coaches in most stadiums in China have only studied for a few days and got the so-called certificate. Even many coaches can attend classes just by watching some movements on VCD.

Practice yoga posture more, the body will become stronger, the body will not accumulate too much cholesterol and fat, blood pressure will return to normal, and the heart will become healthier. With the improvement of the overall health level, people are naturally younger and more energetic. Every posture of yoga can make the body and mind smooth, improve or restore vitality, and achieve the function of calming the mind and stabilizing the mood. People become healthy, their hearts become more open-minded and stronger, and naturally they can face all kinds of invisible pressures and setbacks in life.

2. pranayama yoga pranayama can regulate the energy in the body. Most people breathe through the chest rather than the abdomen. This way of breathing can't make good use of the function of the lungs, so oxygen can't fully fill the lungs, so it's unhealthy. Yoga pranayama is a breathing technique, which provides more oxygen for the brain and makes the whole mental state calm and positive.

When we extend this feeling to our daily life, interpersonal relationships will become harmonious and we will be more tolerant and comfortable to everything around us.

The health benefits of yoga.

The following are the benefits of yoga. Be patient. Yoga needs time to show its effect. After a few weeks, you will feel calmer and more focused than before. In a few months, the regeneration of organs and glands will begin.

First, the increase of vitality, the effect of yoga on the brain and glands.

Second, the appearance and mood are young: yoga reduces facial wrinkles and produces a natural "face-lifting" effect. This is mainly because of handstand. Our usual upright posture urges gravity to pull the muscles down. Over time, facial muscles are expelled from the phenomenon of collapse. Standing upside down for a few minutes every day, we can reverse the effect of gravity and make it a boost to our rejuvenation, so that facial muscles will not relax, it will reduce wrinkles and naturally flatten the skin.

Yoga handstand posture can often restore the original color of white hair and delay the discovery of white hair. This is because handstand increases the blood flow to scalp hair follicles. This posture increases the elasticity of muscles, eliminates the pressure of blood vessels and nerves in muscles, and makes more blood flow to scalp muscles. In other words, hair follicles get more nutrition and produce more healthy hair.

Third, longevity: Yoga affects all the conditions of longevity: brain, glands, spine and internal organs.

Fourth, increase the ability of disease resistance: yoga exercises to strengthen the body and increase immune function. This enhanced resistance can cope with all kinds of serious diseases, from colds to cancer.

Fifth, improve vision and hearing: Normal vision and hearing mainly depend on good blood circulation and nerve transmission in eyes and ears. The nerves and blood vessels that supply the eyes and ears must pass through the muscles. With the increase of age, muscles lose their elasticity just like other parts of the spine, and nerves and blood vessels may encounter stagnation when passing through the neck. This change hinders the nerve and blood supply of eyes and ears, thus affecting their operation. Yoga posture and yoga neck movement can improve the neck condition, and then strengthen vision and hearing.

Sixth, the improvement of mental mood: Because yoga has the effect of rejuvenating the glandular nervous system, including the brain, mental mood will naturally show a positive state. It makes you more confident, enthusiastic and optimistic. Daily life will also become more creative.

When you start to feel good, look young and develop your full potential, these positive mental and emotional States will naturally appear.
