The secret to the popularity of yoga

Every Men and women trying to look like in accordance with the canons of beauty inherent in a particular era. Requirements for the appearance from the viewpoint of modern humans were sometimes strange, for example, what is the fashion for shaved eyebrows and forehead in the middle Ages! Most likely, the passion of today's women's slim figure, and any methods of achieving this goal would have seemed noble ladies of the Middle Ages, to put it mildly, unusual. But what about so far away times, a couple of decades ago for the phrase "I do yoga," society can classify you in the best case to the sect of infidels. Today, yoga - it is the usual method of preserving good health and maintain shape in great shape. I see yoga as it is a form of fitness, rather than as a way of life or the path of spiritual development. You can talk about yoga as an ancient doctrine that could change the way of life and turn your perception of reality. You can give sacred meaning exercise, yoga, bend his whole life - it's a private matter.

Yoga’s VIP Status

Fred Segal, the iconic Santa Monica, California, clothing store, has always been at the cutting edge of hip and fashionable. It was the first department store in the nation to offer a Jean Bar, back in 1960, and set the pace of celebrity-fueled trendsetting fashion that endures five decades later.

Over the years, Fred Segal morphed into a high-end fashion emporium, with multiple specialty sub-stores, a see-and-be-seen cafe, and acclaimed Oscar-aligned full service salon. And earlier this year, the salon expanded to include Fred Segal Yoga (with the logo “Meditation meets beautification”), a community gathering space for hip, yogi-minded Angelenos, with classes, events and fundraisers, and book signings. ”We’re interested in the promotion of a good life and happy souls,” says Fred Segal Salon manager Jill Vasky.

YogaPoser @ Fred Segal will now manage and run the location’s yoga classes. In an interview with MindBodyGreen, Brown explained the merger. “Fred Segal is an uber-trendy LA institution. It’s a funny marriage for a yoga company. Funny good,” he said. “I love it because it is different and so is YogaPoser. We work hard to present yoga in a pure form without blind adherence to tradition or doctrine. In our case, we use work with the body as the platform for improving all the aspects of your life. While we honor all the other things that get mixed with yoga – from waterfalls, bamboo and flutes to religious Hindu practices, we choose to pare it down to good, simple asana practice and nothing else.”

Asanas that help energize and improve mood

Among them there are exercises that are performed while standing - yoga believe that these exercises strengthen the fighting spirit and bring stability.  Is not that what we need active person in the world today? ..  Other positions that will reveal the chest, relieve anxiety and make us more confident.  Inverted asanas give peace of mind.

Yoga - Anti-Stress

Eastern practice of yoga in general is famous for its anti-stress and relaxing effect. Most poses in the regular performance improves blood circulation, muscle flexibility, improve the condition of the spine. All this has a beneficial effect on the nervous system. But there is a specific set of exercises that will help lift the mood in the gloomy autumn, de-stress after a hard day of work or courage before an important event.

So, relax after a hard day can help you:

Ushtrasana, Camel Pose.

Yoga-Long lives the sweet-smelling

Those are from this place and start the cardinal differences between Yogaradzhem Boris Sakharov and Soviet poetry Middy product.  Sakharov said that deodorant soap that we actively and daily use - not necessary, as it seems.  The same effect can be achieved using only cold water and did not use soap. Our body has pores, and thus runs the respiratory and excretion. Hot water and chemical composition of cosmetic products quickly to cope with the problem of smell, but at the same time they cause the skin to an enhanced production of sweat and grease. Because the effect is immediate, but short-lived. Of course, the hands, feet, face and the junction of these parts of the body itself should be washed with soap and water, but for the rest of the body constantly soap is not required.

Yoga does not happen much

The most "enlightened" are going to practice in India .  Often it is not fat cats who can afford it (they have just the opposite - business, not up) and ordinary residents of our broad country.  Such cases are now quite a lot.  People are selling an apartment, buy a ticket to India ... In fact, in order to understand what is going on, let's turn the situation on the contrary: a yogi inspired our Orthodox culture, read a lot about the life of the holy fathers, and went to Russia to get this most holy father.

Even if he did not steal a purse, it does not give to drink vodka, railway station and the intelligentsia, he will not go to the police arriving at the nearest church, he will get the service that does not understand a word, and it certainly scold some old woman because he do not go put out the candle.

External purification in Yoga

A practitioner of yoga should understand the great importance of yoga is the external and internal body cleansing.  Once the companion Middy touched upon external cleaning of it and talk today. External cleaning - this is, first of all, swimming.  Yogi’s should wash your body at least once a day.  The Indians, complying with all rules yogic culture, must wash the body 2-3 times a day.  This is not a mere formality, because bathing - is to take care of your body and love for him. But the culture of washing and bathing the body in yoga differs from the traditional idea of bathing in the majority of Europeans.  Indeed, in our view bathing - it is mandatory to use a shampoo and conditioner, hair gel, scrub, moisturizing and nutrient resources.

Yoga - Faster, higher, stronger

We continue to consider options with a reputable yoga materials (non-authoritative on and we do not remember).

Let's say you got into the hands of the same Talmud with a detailed, step by step descriptions and detailed comments on each point.  But let me remind you that all this was written by a man who has practiced in perfection.  That is, he devoted all his life yoga.  So, it may be that what for him is easier as dirt, you will trouble while running.  Simply put, we can enter into the asana, and leave them with her trauma surgeons.  Or proctologist, you can still try to Mule.

Yoga is good?

Finding all the same among all the literature on this authoritative guide to yoga, we enthusiastically go to practice.

It is often forgotten that these yogis are not too wordy and give us only the basics of yoga, avoiding the hustle and bustle and crowds of students.  Most often, the master of yoga give in their reports only the first steps in yoga and superficial description of the more profound and sophisticated practices.  They are not inclined to paint detailed comments and tell us about the nature of yoga as a whole.

We learns some basic exercises with the prana, finally master the lotus position, and it seems that now a damn.  Encouraged by early successes, it is possible to lose your head, because everything is so easily explained and so easy to get!

Beware of yoga!

Yoga - an area for us original, little-studied and not yet fully mastered.  However, even reputable Indian authors write about what yoga is - a vast system of knowledge, in many respects the sacred, the misuse of which could cause harm.

It should be pointed out that yoga itself is not in any way dangerous, because yoga is by its very nature - a system of natural development and improvement in harmony with nature and the world at large.  To bad consequences may result itself is not yoga, and improper use and application of its techniques.

Today there are so many materials on yoga.  Earlier in the bookstores these benefits were at one shelf of literature on traditional medicine and the benefits of charging , now set aside for yoga entire departments.  Hundreds of writers, but really all of them - the specialists in this question?  Believe me, not all of them - the venerable yogaradzhi, after using the fact that yoga has become popular, the "wise books" on yogoterapii ready to write many "healers."

Yogaterapiey for hypertension

Yoga - not just gymnastics, but also a spiritual practice. It aims to strengthen not only the body but the soul. That the Russian people finally all became clear, I'll explain: it is both traditional fist fighting in Russia on the eve of Shrove Sunday. When ruddy men beat each other person, in order to unwind and become stronger physically, and the next day, they hugged and asked forgiveness of each other (luckily it was for that) - circumcise.

That is, get the whole set of exercises that strengthens both physically and spiritually. Since yoga is almost the same. The only difference is that the Russian did not develop a philosophy of fisticuffs and turned it into a practical science. Well, that yoga do not drink vodka.

Yoga and acrobatics

A mix of yoga, acrobatics, yoga, and the pair of Thai massage.  That is, the usual practice asanas - to warm up, asanas together - for the furtherance of the body, the elements of massage, which helps to remove the clips in the body, and then performed a beautiful complex exercise - and it's just flying!  Captures the spirit of what makes "impossible."

- Who invented the technique long does it exist?

- Akroyogu The Americans - Jason Nimer acrobat and dancer yoga Jenny Sauer-Klein.  They met in Los Angeles in 2003 and tried to do acrobatics in a pair of yoga techniques and applications.  It turns out there are enormous advantages and for the practice of hatha yoga and acrobatics.  The body develops faster and safer because there is always a support partner.  From the perspective of yoga, through the development of trust, care: a partner, a man learns to love other people and overcome fears.

Raja Yoga teaches to create life

Raja Yoga can be viewed as the upper stage of yoga is the practice, trainees the ability to choose thoughts and concentrate on them, if any, to stop thinking (not to do too much).  Typically, these capabilities become available after you pass the lower levels of yoga - learn to observe your thoughts and actions, to control the body and energy.

Teach people who are trying to start to control the mind immediately ...  But the teachers (including my teacher) said that if the body is not ready to fully feed a new, more powerful working brain can quickly dry up and even die.

In conclusion, apart from the spiritual practice of "mysletvorchestvo inevitably leads" down. "  Such practices may be called "witchcraft", because it can harm others.  Why and how - to tell in an upcoming post.  And maybe you also have thoughts on this?

Yoga on the unrequited love

I watched and watched many people and she survived.  Only the constant physical and spiritual practices have helped to see how easy it is based scheme of relationships when one person is dependent on another, and how can I get rid of it.  I propose to talk about the psychology of relationships...

Let us in this text we understand yoga, not as a set of exercises, but as a path to liberation.  Including the feeling of "unrequited love".  But to start with an example trace, step by step, how painful it may be dependent on another person.

Meeting

An example of this: you're a good man, meet other good people and you like it (the biochemistry of this process are omitted).  You can also like him, and you may even talked for a while, but he goes about his business, because it is so used to it.  He could have longer be with you, but it needs to destroy habits, due to other people, but it's a big waste of energy - not everyone will be solved.
