yoga anad fitness

Most of us are accustomed to looking outside of ourselves for fulfillment. We are living in a world that conditions us to believe that outer attainments can give us what we want. Yet again and again our experiences show us that nothing external can completely fulfill the deep longing within for "something more." Most of the time, however, we find ourselves striving toward that which always seems to lie just beyond our reach. We are caught up in doing rather than being, in action rather than awareness. It is hard for us to picture a state of complete calmness and repose in which thoughts and feelings cease to dance in perpetual motion. Yet it is through such a state of quietude that we can touch a level of joy and understanding impossible to achieve otherwise.

Yoga is part of my daily routine. It relaxes my mind and my body. I know that when i say i'm doing yoga, people would laugh and say "That's impossible" but i really do it. Of course i choose simple poses and easy breathing techniques.
 
Yoga isn’t just a fitness regime,it’s a way of life. Beginners shouldn’t start off a course looking to lose weight or get into great physical shape. The most important thing for beginners is that they should keep an open mind and be ready to experience positive changes in their mind and body. Never feel discouraged by lack of flexibility or other health issues.
 
Yoga is just an amazing healthy activity for healthy mind and body. It amazingly helps us to keep our self healthy physically, mentally and emotionally, it helps to keep concentration on a point and in decision making. Life would surely be easier and fun if you all start practicing Yoga.
 
In addition to the physical benefits, many people who practice yoga say that it reduces anxiety and stress and improves mental clarity. Before you begin any type of exercise program, it's a good idea to talk to your doctor, especially if you have a health problem. Also, be sure to mention any orthopedic problems or special needs you may have to your instructor before the class begins.

Key to good health wholesome food and exercise

It’s fine to have a bag of chips and a can of soda in moderation to satisfy the taste buds. But if it becomes everyday food the repercussions are long felt. The number of health problems that have gone up in the last decade all over the world are said to be lifestyle related. There have been many studies that indicate sedentary lifestyle which includes longer working hours on the computer, watching television among children, intake of high calorie processed foods are some of the main reasons of rise of health problems among all age group people. With advancement in medical science there has been significant control on life threatening diseases like cancer, heart disorders etc., but lifestyle related obesity, diabetes and other problems are beyond the control of medical science.
It’s an old adage “Health is Wealth” which is so true. A person with good health enjoy life in all ways, learn and do different things, has so much positive energy to be happy and keep others around happy.

Yoga helps promote a balanced development of all the three. Other forms of physical exercises, like aerobics, assure only physical well-being.Much thanks to you such a great amount of for giving such a pleasant post.

1. Buy a few DVDs or yoga flash cards to provide you with an organized routine. You may want more than one video to keep your home practice fresh each session.

2. Find a suitable place to practice yoga in your home. You will need a quiet, open space to spread your mat. You should try to practice on hardwood floors, but if your house is carpeted, then you should the hardest surface available. The softer the surface, the more likely you are to injure your joints.

3. Pick a time to practice yoga when no one else is home, or at least at a time when you will not be bothered. Finding the time for yoga seems to be the biggest challenge and a main reason people choose to practice at home. Just be sure that you choose a time when you will not be distracted.

4. Set up your yoga space. You may want to light candles or dim the lighting to set the mood. Lay out your yoga mat and assemble any props you will use during the session.

5. Keep a bottle or glass of water near your yoga mat, along with a towel. A towel can used to wipe off any sweat, as well as to soften the mat during certain positions.

6. Follow a regular yoga routine. Most yoga classes start out with stretching before moving to positions requiring more strength. Each position is also followed by an opposite pose in order to keep the body in balance. Your home practice should follow the same basic pattern.

7. Make a commitment to your home practice by making it part of your daily routine. Try to set up a regular schedule for your yoga practice. If you are doing one long session a week, you can supplement it with 15 minutes of yoga every day.
 
I like Yoga, did it years ago (Kripalu and Power) and recently returned to it and I am very happy I did
 
HUGE fan of yoga! I still remember my first class...my buddy and I walked in like we owned the place and, by the end, we were lying on the floor, incredulous, while the middle-aged women in the class casually walked over us to get to the door.

I got much deeper into yoga after doing P90X a few years ago. The Yoga X routine was pretty tough but I decided to stick with it and, by the end of the program, not only had I gotten 300% better at it but I found something in yoga that really resonated with me. I began a home practice which I kept up for quite some time and, currently, am doing yoga in conjunction with P90X3.

So, all in all, yoga has been wonderfully beneficial to me, both physically and emotionally. I highly, HIGHLY recommend it to everyone: big, small, guy, gal, bendy, completely inflexible...everyone can benefit and reap some truly fantastic rewards by making it part of your regular routine.
 
Yoga and healthy eating are notions that cannot be separated from each other. Food of healthy eating that can give amazing results when accompanied by physical activity. Food fiber that is found in raw fruits and vegetables, brown rice, unprocessed grain, beans and nuts can be an effective means that helps to keep fit. Fiber that absorbs water is able to leave you feeling full long after a meal, so you will not overeat. Besides that, fiber can effectively withdraw residue from our bowels, leaving the sense of lightness, removing toxins and improving our health.
 
Besides the flexibility and all the internal benefits, I have seen people who do yoga looking very fit and with muscle definition.
