Word as a whole can be literally translated as "strength" or "force". In this case, it all starts with the serious work with the body. In a lazy man, nearly every one of us, at this point it may be a reasonable question: why "karyachitsya 'up a sweat when you can just sit under a tree and think of something beautiful or smart read books in anticipation of enlightenment. Alas, all is not so simple. Try it yourself and you'll see for yourself. First of all, you do not get long to sit in one position, the body soon zanoet and zatechet. Secondly, the mind, too, refuses to obey and you will think about what it wants, in other words randomly jump from one topic to another. On closer examination, to cope with the body will be somewhat easier than with the mind, although this will require a systematic effort. In principle, it is quite logical: if you do not own something that you can see and touch, how can subdue something intangible and elusive? In addition, one of the fundamental esoteric principles states: both inside and outside, that is, by acting on the body, we simultaneously has an impact on consciousness, which will gradually change along with the physical body.

Five reasons of causing pain

Patanjali lists five reasons citta Vritti, causing pain (flare), namely: 

1. Avidya (ignorance or lack thereof); 
2. Asmita (sense of individuality, isolating human and distinguishes him from the group. It is a physical, mental, intellectual or emotional); 
3. Para (affection or passion); 
4. Dvesha (dislike or disgust); 
5. Abhinivesha (zest for life, the instinctive attachment to the earthly life and carnal pleasures, fear of being cut off from their death). 

These reasons are suffering in the depths of the mind Sadhakas (worshiper, seeker of truth). They are like icebergs of the polar seas, in which visible only the upper part. They must be hard to control and eradicate, otherwise the rest will not. Yogi learns to forget the past and not worry about the future. He lives in an eternal present. 

As the breeze stirs the surface of the lake, distorting the image reflected in it, and citta Vritti violate the peace of mind. Still waters of the lake reflect the beauty around him. When the mind is stopped, it reflects the beauty Ya Yogi stops your mind with constant diligence and release from desire. Eight stages of Yoga teach him how to achieve this. 

While the Shiva Samhita and Hatha Yoga Pradipika referred to the possible timing of success, Patanjali never defines how much time is required that the individual soul has achieved unity with the Divine Universal Soul. He said that the mind makes a serene and calm Abhyasa (incessant and persistent practice) and Vairagya (freedom from desires). Abhyasa he defines as a long sustained effort, carried out with devotion, which creates a strong foundation. 

Coordinating and focusing his body, senses, mind, reason, and I, a man reaches the awards - inner peace - and has the desire to connect his soul with the Creator. The main adventure in life - this is his return to the Creator. 

To achieve the goal, he needs a well-developed and functioning coordinating body, senses, mind, intellect and Y. If his efforts are not coordinated, a person will fail. In the third chapter (the Valley) the first part of "Katha Upanishad" God of death Yama explains that yoga Nachiketa seeker of truth, telling a parable about a man on a chariot. 

"Know the Atman (I) as the Lord in a chariot, the mind - as the charioteer and the mind - as the reins. Feelings, they say it's horses, and the object of their desires-pasture. Wise men call I am in unity with the senses and mind Bhoktrom (those who enjoys). Unable to discern never would rule over his mind, his feelings like a skittish horse. Able to distinguish always controls his mind, his feelings are like an obedient horse. Unable to discern become careless, even the unclean, and he does not reach the goal, passing from one body to another. ability to discern is attentive and always pure, he reaches the goal and is born again. The man who is able to discern charioteer, ruling the mind reaches the end of the road - the supreme abode of eternal Spirit.

The Science of Yoga

The science of yoga is always devoted to the physical, mental and spiritual health of humanity. For a long time but people have misunderstood the east and west yoga as a science of the occult, mysticism, the black magic, witchcraft, and many have assigned it to the religious dimension of life. Because of this erroneous interpretation Yoga remained outside the realm of scientific research and investigation and could not be integrated into the mainstream of human life. 

Over the past hundred and fifty years is the human being physically, mentally and emotionally from the healthy and stable track, get out of balance. As a result, he learned the narrowness and ignorance, both of his utter dependence on further discoveries of medical science as its own. Now he has begun to look for a science that can give him at various stages of his life, health, serenity and inner harmony. 

The World Health Organization knows the importance of the spiritual side of man, when health as "physical, mental, emotional, moral and spiritual well-being" defined. 

For humanity Yoga is not new, it existed in all ages. But there were phases in which this science fell into oblivion. In India, however, the universal science of yoga was even during the dark period that raises the most degenerate spiritual traditions protected, and preserved. 

In this century, the yoga again came out of India to alleviate the suffering of mankind. It was revived by virtue of the intense effort and compassion of the yogis and sanyasis of India as the science of spirituality and integral personality development. The yogic science is freed from the grip of religious dogma and is now recognized throughout the world as an independent science. It serves the health of all humanity, not just one specific religion or nation. 

The traditional meaning of the word yoga is "union", the Union of jivatma or the individual soul with Paramatma, the cosmic soul. Yoga means the spiritual science that leads to the recognition and realization of this association. But in practical concrete context is yoga science, which leads to a balanced, harmonious and integral personal growth. 

There is no aspect of human existence or human assets that are not covered are the yogic science. Yoga is a science of "self-culture" and the "self-development." With the help of various systematic techniques and disciplines that are applied to physical, mental and emotional level, does yoga in all areas of our being - whether gross, subtle or causal - a harmonious balance. 

In the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna explains to Arjuna: ... samatvam yoga uchyate - "... balance, balance and harmony in every situation, whether favorable or unfavorable, this is known as yoga." Yoga also presents itself as the science of right living and points the way to fulfill the higher purpose of life, which can only be done through the acquisition of perfection in progressive steps. Shortly summed - Yoga is the science that helps us to consciously perceive the true life, and guarantees to us at all levels of health. 

It creates a harmonious balance, inwardly and outwardly, so that we can remain indifferent to all the highs and lows of life with praise and insult, as if success and failure in all our actions and efforts to attain perfection. 

The types of yoga 
As a yoga class is comprised of various types, such as Raja Yoga, Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Kundalini Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Mantra Yoga and Laya Yoga, etc. Each variant has a special instrument to physical, mental, emotional and psychological disciplines and methods , intended to transport the aspirants to the higher realms of consciousness, the existence and perfection. Yoga as a unification of the individual soul with the Paramatma is the end, and yoga as a method of discipline and practice is also the means to achieve this highest purpose of human existence. 

The size of the Indian spiritual tradition - it is seen as a tradition of Sanatan Dharma - is based on the fact that it accepts all aspects of life and abilities of the person as they are all for individual growth, in favor of harmony and fulfillment can be used. The tradition deals with the "four goals" of life - artha, kama, dharma and moksha. 

Artha and Kama, the physical, biological and emotional needs, therefore, are not vulgar or dirty, but form the first stages of the spiritual ladder. To ascend on the spiritual path to higher levels, one must first meet the basic needs because they carry the life of every person has a great influence. However, should the sense of the respective rights and obligations of all such efforts are in the background. 

Even the human life process was divided into four stages or ashramas, namely brahmacharya (life of the child, pupil, student), grihashta (Life of 'householder'), vanaprashta (retired life for the purpose of contemplation) and sannyasa (renunciation of life, alone devoted to the spiritual realization). In this way, every single aspect of life was observed and fully integrated. 

In addition, characterized the numerous spiritual traditions and methods of practice by a sound logic, and offer a very practical approach to life. Every individual has a singular character and temperament respective stands on specific developmental stage, and shows an appropriate level of understanding. Just as a single medicine, the various diseases afflicting humanity can not heal, can be a single yogic technique does not apply at all spiritual aspirants. 

Therefore developed a large number of yoga techniques and traditions. Treated, for example, Hatha Yoga involves the body as a "clay pot" that was not fertiggebrannt by the potter, but physical, sensory, mental, emotional, intellectual and egocentric systems. Similar to the unfired clay pot in the first heat and fire to burn must require the psycho-physiological nature of a man of "burning" in the fire of yoga, so that it can develop themselves spiritually. 

The hatha yoga tradition, therefore, is based on body-related method. The body is the medium that requires for example cleaning and reinforcement through shatkarmas and asana, the lightness, freedom from illness and patience through the practice of pranayama and pratyahara, the stability of mind and emotions through the practice of mudras, and bandhas dharana. Only under such conditions, the higher achievement - thanks to the acquired balance between solar and lunar energies in the body - is possible. 

The philosophy of yoga 
The philosophy behind yoga is generally coincides with that of the real Raja Yoga and is based on the Yoga Sutras of Maharshi Patanjali. Together with the Sankhya philosophy of Raja Yoga is an eternal, omnipresent, plotless Prakriti principle (manifested and non-manifested in nature) and a variety of ubiquitous consciousness Purusas (monads of pure consciousness). Yoga accepts another, a third principle, namely) Ishvara (God. The contact between Purusha (s) and Prakriti latter can manifest their multiple effects. The Purusha experiences - thanks aviveka (lack of distinction) - that he is an individual person, because he identifies with prakriti and its various modes. 

Raja Yoga is now offering a way out of this Purusha, the concatenation. Therefore, it is also this yoga as a practical path to liberation rather than as a philosophical excursion into the realms of the spirit. He treats the so-called eightfold path, the "eight limbs" are scientifically described this as the natural steps of the ladder, which makes the people come from his human to the true divine nature. The coarse and fine ties that will bind to Prakriti Purusha intersected. 

After all the bonds have fallen enjoys the liberated purusha its independence (kaivalya or moksha). This is the goal of Raja Yoga. The "eight limbs" will be briefly presented: 
The 8 limbs of Raja Yoga 
 
Yama: In the form of ahimsa (nonviolence), satya (truthfulness), Asteya () non-stealing, Brahmacharya (living in harmony with the higher consciousness) and Aparigraha (is) without possessiveness yama, the social code of conduct, the acts against fellow human beings controls. 

Niyama:) By shaucha (cleanliness and purity, Santosha (contentment), tapas () voluntary privation, want) Svadhyaya (analysis of the self, understanding one's own nature) and Ishvara Pranidhana (Selbstergebung before God, discipline, culture of the self, nature , strong will and faith in God to be developed. 

Asana: Asana positions intended reasonable, balanced and harmonious functioning of bodily organs and systems under all conditions. They also help eliminate the gross energy blockages and to perceive the subtle aspects of the body. In the form of meditation asana position forms the basis for the grandiose building of the Antaranga sadhana (the inward disciplines of Dharana, dhyana and samadhi). 

Pranayama breathing technique and reorganized This harmonizes the body's energy by cleaning the energy channels and the obstacles is removed, then the whole system energized and to exercise adequate control over the subtle pranic body-helps. It is this control allows the control of desires and the Vrittis (shapes and forms of the mind and the imagination), the chains of Prakriti Purusha. 

Pratyahara: This technique shows us how we should withdraw the senses from sense objects. A retreat, which clarifies the perception of the inner world of the spiritual dimension of emotions and the psyche and intensified. 

Dharana: focus on the technology, the mind for a long time to a point, it helps to internalize the perception and to draw energy from our inner being. It also supports the development of willpower and inner strength the face of difficult life situations. 

Dhyana: Will dharana a continuous and uninterrupted process and the perception does not differ more from their point of concentration, it is called dhyana or meditation. It brings the aspirant closer to his inner being - the source of peace, joy, knowledge and wisdom. 

Samadhi: The dissolution of mind, intellect and ego in the cosmic consciousness in which peace, happiness, harmony and light will ever know - this is samadhi. Here Purusha experiences its own true nature, the transcendent state of absolute independence and freedom (kaivalya). 

Patanjali's Yoga, the building was built not on preconceived notions or axioms. He merely laid down the fundamental principles that are applicable for every practitioner, regardless of his religion or his faith. On rope verifiable experience, the practitioner, step by step to the destination. The practical applicability of this yoga is universal. 

Mantra Yoga 
The science of Manta and Yantra Yoga deals with the concepts of consciousness and energy in terms of sound vibration and the symbolic representation of this vibration. A mantra helps divine energy that manifests itself in a sound pattern. A yantra containing the divine energy that is reflected in a visible geometric shape. Both help to erase the negative gradually Samskaras (deep-rooted impressions from past lives) and engraved in the subconscious archetypes. 

These two form of yoga to harmonize the intellectual, emotional and psychological systems of the personality, to redeem in the course of the absent-mindedness, instability and turbulence of the mind and the mind. Thus the potential energy is brought in people from their latency (concealment). 

Bhakti Yoga 
The science of Bhakti Yoga is suitable for people with devotional tendencies and abilities. It helps to remove emotional blockages and impurities, leads to higher-yielding and I believed in a reality. Reine, ecstatic bhakti is probably the highest level in the spiritual life of a man. 

Karma Yoga 
Karma Yoga is the path of service is free of selfish motives, but carried by the sense of individual duty. The ideal of the Bhagavad Gita can be in the form of two terms express summarily karma and yoga. Krishna consistently throughout the Gita sets with precise and forceful words, the core principles of karma yoga dar. He praises the high duty of man, selfless work, I run-lose actions without waiting for the "fruits" of the work. 

The secret of Karma Yoga is the development of skill and perfection in action. The magic formula to be learned, if you live in an active spiritual community, after which they can easily apply it in everyday life. In fact, it may be far smoother and richer motivation to work selflessly for others, as selfish for themselves 

This shows the difference between "karma" and "Karma Yoga". It creates karma, if you have yourself in mind - and when their own wishes or conflicts are the drivers for action. If you work but not for themselves, ie, in favor of the ego, but presents his action as a service and a gift of other people, then the mind is free and one can experience the benefits of Karma Yoga. 

Kundalini Yoga 
The science of Kundalini and Kriya yoga aims to awaken the latent energy of the cosmic man. Is she awakens, it recognizes and understands the mysteries of human nature and the universe. All the exquisite experience of spiritual life are caused by the Kundalini energy. 

Of course there are many other classes and types of yoga with their respective characteristics. But rather than list it seems to me important to make more and more people are familiar with the beneficial effects of yoga. You should choose a few techniques that you can practice each day, then you should try to exercise it unilaterally, but balanced so that the demand is supported by the different personal abilities and growth (and space) development. 

It is gaining the impression that yoga is one in future for the heritage of each nation. It is increasingly accepted in all sectors of society, whether in education, medical sciences, in prisons, sports, military, hospitals, during space flights, in psychiatric hospitals or in commercial and industrial groups. Again, the time has come for humanity to claim their authority in the realm of the great spiritual yoga tradition.

Yoga: The maintenance of good posture and the muscles of the chest in good condition

Like the heroes of the cartoon of the same name, each woman has a "fad" (small or large breasts, plump legs, big hips, etc., etc.), which she always remembers and makes sometimes a little shortage (which did they might not be) a huge problem ... And maybe stop to follow the unattainable standards and be myself? 

Like the heroes of the cartoon of the same name, each woman has a "fad" (small or large

Let's start with the maintenance of good posture and the muscles of the chest in good condition. And help us in this yoga. 

Good posture - it is always nice. In most cases posture is an indication that its owner monitors their own health. As you know, preserve the flexibility of the spine extends his youth, and this means the absence of many diseases. 

Recall that the involve in carrying out multiple muscle groups. 

Step One: Warm - 

1. Stand up straight, feet fully on the floor. Muscles tightened, his shoulders straightened and freely omitted, the muscles of the abdomen, back, legs stretched, the chest is fully straightened, chin parallel to the floor, the spine is fully extended. On the inhale lift your hands up, joining hands straightened arms above his head. The hands are drawn up, feet stay on the floor. Stay in this position for several respiratory cycles. On the exhale, lower hands along the body ( mountain pose). Repeat several times. 

Step Two: Base 

2. Legs wide apart, his arms raise and breed in the hand, feet parallel to each other, palms parallel to the floor, back straight. On the exhale, maintaining posture, bend to the right, sliding his hand along a straight right leg. Save the position for several respiratory cycles. On inspiration to return to the starting position and repeat the exercise to the left - pose an elongated triangle). Repeat several times. 

3. Stand up straight, feet fully on the floor. Muscles tightened, his shoulders straightened and freely omitted, the muscles of the abdomen, back, legs stretched, the chest is fully straightened, chin parallel to the floor, the spine is fully extended. On the inhale lift your hands up, joining hands straightened arms above his head. Start to squat until thighs are parallel to the floor. Thus the spin must remain straight and if possible not to lean forward. Hands are drawn up. Wait a few breathing cycles. On inspiration to return to its original position - pose rage).  

4. Exercise from a prone position. Lie on the floor face down, arms stretch forward, his legs are joined together. On the inhale bend the elbows and place palms on the level of the hips. Raise the upper half of the body, straightening arms. Maximum gently bend back. The legs should remain straight and tense. Rib cage is fully expanded. Stay in that position for several respiratory cycles (cobra pose). Repeat several times. 

5. We should sit on the floor, legs outstretched. First, bend the right leg at the knee, grab the foot with his hands and put it on the left thigh, the heel should ideally be near the navel. Then the same thing done with the left foot. Back should remain straight. The left hand to lift up, bend at the elbow and put his hand along the spine, palm down. His right hand bend at the elbow and put his hand up between his shoulder blades. Throw in his hand. The back is still straight. Chest is expanded, but not bulging forward. Stay in this position for several respiratory cycles (a combination - lotus posture and - poses a cow). Then change the hand position. 

6. Remaining sit on the floor with your legs crossed and leaning back, slowly lie down on the floor with his back, chest upwards. Try to put your hands on the floor behind her head, stretching them. Stay in this position for several respiratory cycles - fish pose). 

Step Three: relaxed 

7. Sit on the floor, legs outstretched. Bend the left leg at the knee, hands to take a foot and put it right thigh. Bend the right leg at the knee, hands to take a foot and put it on his left ankle so that the heel was directed upward and the toes were left thigh. Hands placed on his feet - back of the hand touch the knees. Keep free breathing (attitude wise). 

8. Lie on your back and totally relax. Brushes should be based on your palms up. Heels together, toes apart. Close eyes (corpse pose). 

Complex of exercises takes time no more than 30-40 minutes. All should be done smoothly and slowly, when an uncomfortable occupation must end. It is worth mentioning that try yoga can a person of any age, but he must be sure that it has no contraindications. In addition, you can not immediately require a precise implementation of, accuracy is achieved in the training process. Can master the first one exercise and then connect them to the complex.

Additional description Utthita Trikonasana

Initial position of the feet in this Asana requires special attention. The fact is that all people are different proportions of the limbs, this is added the difference in height and build. And the question immediately arises: what is in each case setting the width of the legs? Answer: The starting position in this position for any person to be so, when - leaning to one side with the spine, more or less parallel to the floor (in the thoracic part of it) - arm, dropped down perpendicularly, will be located in the middle segment of the knee to the ankle joints of the same name feet. Or you can say this: the hand touches the floor in the middle of the horizontal projection of the said segment. 

In contrast to the approach Iyengar yoga, where everything is done too abruptly, tear, quickly, I do not recommend a "standing" asanas to put legs to the starting position jump, nor would advise you to jump back to its original position. In fact, these Macropod manners in the classical practice, completely out of place. Sharp movements in addition initiate a consciousness, and the already overheated reality, and the challenge of yoga - to balance it, so all the movements during the transition from posture to posture should be unhurried, relaxed and soft that people are not leaping around, moving jerkily, like Pinocchio in a bad cartoon. 

So, let us turn to the formulation of the feet. In all positions, which are carried out "standing", the foot always oriented so that foot is feet, to which we bend (or in the direction which makes an attack, that is, bend the knee) was placed in the plane of the legs and torso, that is was directed sideways, parallel to the wall, if we stand back to her. The other foot is always formed with the first only an acute angle from 45 ° to about 70 *. During the execution of any "standing" posture soles of both feet must be held tightly to the floor, which is achieved not at once. 

Moreover, the School of Iyengar insists that they were pressed to the floor so close to the body weight distributed on the surface of each foot evenly, virtually no distinction in its individual sections. Only then will a certain point in the center of the foot, which they call "eye of God Burg, supposedly, will be closely in touch with a support surface that characterizes the necessary state and position of the feet. 

This, of course, "aerobatics", which I think only confusing for a beginner just have to resolve several mutually exclusive issues. In addition to keeping his feet in full contact with the floor in Utthita Trikonasane, legs should be straight in the knees and a cup of their sunken top. The trunk also went down to the side, located in a vertical plane, which you control for touch backs. 

All these endless details, petty, non-essential requirements and nuances of the system allow Iyengar yoga at least something to talk about asanas but bare description of their geometry which, especially in the "standing" postures, it is extremely easy and fast to remember. Of detail given here is important because attention should be involved in something to do with no real meaning on the one hand - and distracted from his search for the proposed, scanty indeed information - on the other. 

Typically, flexible middle-aged man, unfamiliar with yoga, very mediocre. Not only that by hand floor "Trikonasanah - an elusive goal, but also the knees drawn disgusting, and the torso turns, - what can I do? 

First: all the "standing" asanas should be performed, as I said, at the wall. Iyengar in 1989, said in a joking manner, but quite seriously, that the "standing" poses a wall - the best teacher, and here he is absolutely right. 

So, we camped in a vertical plane so that the foot is feet, to which we have gathered to bend, was at a distance of 10-15 cm from the wall and parallel to it. Then the heel of opposite foot - at the turn to the desired angle - will touch the wall. Setting foot in such a way to advance a certain width, I begin with an exhalation lower torso to one side, say - to the right. In this case, both shoulder blades do not lose contact with the wall, especially the upper left, which should not come off or an inch. 

It is so moving down until such time as no one in his ribs or resistance in the leg, which I omitted. As soon as the difficulty appeared and feel - no matter where! - Became apparent I must, pushing (which is convenient, but possibly vertically, not diagonally) with his right hand in his right leg the same (with shoulder blades pressed against the wall) and distributed on the part of her body weight, stay in a position to direct the knees and stretched string (but without too much stress!) feet - while the body is relaxed! The upper arm goes to the zenith, the bottom - the nadir. 

That is, although it rests on the leg or the floor, but perpendicular to the latter. At the same time I done it head to the left so that, without straining his neck to look at your left thumb, which is located at the top. In this position, I watch the breath in his nostrils, stomach completely relaxed. Again, pay attention to the above subtlety: if the legs are too relaxed, then any "standing" asana will be unstable. As adaptation to these postures should be phased out from the wall, firmly stand on its own feet. To control can only slightly touch her back, and then perform the asanas without any support and the support. 

On the other hand and foot strain is a mistake, leading to the fact that together with them in an unacceptable degree of "capture the" minds and the whole body, and it is not nothing but a spurious work that is entirely unnecessary and a hindrance to the faithful execution of postures and all practices in general. Therefore need to "catch" a sector of the intensity of the tension leg, so that they remain sufficiently rigid, immutable structure, and the torso and it was capable of the most relaxing, while in the belt, it can be freely bent or twisted. Thus we come to the polar nature of the load regime of the body: all working in Asana - strained only to the extent necessary, minimally, with no excesses, it is not involved - relaxed to such an extent as possible. 

In Utthita Trikonasanu should bend to exhale, to breathe freely and in a pose with the breath to rise to its original position so that the rate of flexion-extension not to shoot down the respiratory regularity and quiet. This requirement dictates a slow motion at the entrance of the posture and exit them. 

So - when bent, exhale, inhale free - and we again breathe normally, calmly, relaxed and at ease, but being in this position

Virasana. Hero Pose

"Veera" means a heroic, brave, a hero. This posture resembles a warrior in a sitting position. At first glance it seems simple Virasana. Nevertheless, during the first years of practice for many was the traditional sitting position is not easy. Students complain of a burning sensation in the hips, sore knees and ankles. 

Disregard Virasanoy should not, even if you think that it brings nothing but suffering. Although its effect is not immediately pose Hero is very useful. In Virasane we improve the mobility of the knees and ankles, as well as learning to wrap the thigh inward. Posture reduces tension in the legs, improves digestion and relieves you from unpleasant sensations in the stomach. In addition, Virasana - one of the traditional provisions for pranayama and meditation. If it is done correctly, it can stay a few minutes, watching his inner feelings. In other words, this asana promotes awareness, which is the cornerstone of the practice of yoga. 
Summary Virasana

2. Dissolve the foot and rotate them so that the foot looked at the ceiling. Keep your toes and feet in a straight line, pulling them back.

5. Turn the palm of your hand so that they looked down, and put them on their knees. 

6. Keep your weight on your hips and lift the waist and the sides of the trunk upwards. 

7. Open the chest, lift your neck and look straight ahead.

9. Place the palms on the floor, lift your buttocks and connect the foot. Now straighten your legs. 

Special notes:

(2) If the foot can not bend back, hold them horizontally. 
(3) If you find it difficult to keep the body straight, then firmly uprites hands on his knees and pressed his groin down so that the body pulled up from the base of the pelvis. 
Detail Virasana 
A simplified version of the posture of the Hero 

When performing this variation Virasana you need a blanket and a brick, which will help avoid stress in the knees. Support is needed for most beginners. Moreover, it is possible that for the safe execution of postures of these materials is not enough. Even if you do not feel any inconvenience in the classical variant Virasana, try to do it using supporting materials - is within reach, so you can work in a better position. Then follow the asana without support. 

Fold the blanket in four and place it in the center of rug. Brick, place close to the smooth edge of the blanket across the rug. The blanket will help reduce pressure on the ankle, and brick - relieving pressure from the knees. 

Kneel in front of a brick so that the legs were on the blanket, and feet - on the mat. Toes should be directed strictly ago, and the soles are deployed to the ceiling. Inner side of knees in contact with each other, and the heels are separated at a distance slightly greater than the width of the pelvis. Carefully lowered to the brick. 

Observe the sensations in the legs. What happens to the feet, ankles, shins, knees and hips? If you feel too much pressure on the ankles or knees, put under the legs have one or two blankets. If you feel a burning sensation, sharp pain or a spot in the knees, dissolve them by the width of the pelvis so that the thigh bones were parallel to each other and the edges of the mat, and then increase support under the pelvis. 

As soon as you feel comfortable, begin to align posture. First check the position of feet. Before making any amendments, make sure they are positioned symmetrically: equally wrapped inside the heel - at the same distance from the pelvis, and ankle are parallel to each other. In addition, the foot must be on one line with the shins. Pull the outer side ankle and firmly push both heels to the pelvis. Place your hands under the foot and fingers send out your skin - so the foot will be less stringent. 


wrong 
Do not let your feet cross on the side  


wrong 
Do not sit on their heels  


correctly 
Keep the natural curve of the waist 


Now pay attention to their knees. When the correct position, they retain their mobility and does not hurt either during or after the posture. Nevertheless, students often showered her knees inward and pererastyagivayut popliteal ligament, which can lead to injury. If your knees hurt, sit above. On the other hand, the slight discomfort is natural - it can occur if you are Virasanu first time. 

Palms send the skin over the knees, freeing them from excessive pressure. Observe the sensations in her lap - most likely, they will be different. 

Then focus attention on the front surface of the thighs. Do you feel stiffness or tension? Hips should wrap inside, and the lower leg - well pressed to the floor. Feeling the strength and stability in the legs, breathe evenly. Feel how Virasana helps to revive and relax your feet.

Healthy back Yoga

The human body is organized according to three priorities: balance, economy and absence of pain. Balance is essential in every dimension: static, motor, circulatory, hormonal, visceral and neurological. The human being in an upright position, is a compromise between the search for balance, energy and less need to compensate for imbalances. The muscles that allow the upright posture were "calling the static" and are located mainly in the rear of the body, however, those governing the movement, particularly of large magnitude, have the "vocation dynamic." 

If the muscles are asked to "static" to maintain long-standing posture, according to a principle of economy (contracts to stay with the lowest energy), tend to change their structure. Part of the elastic fibers are replaced by inelastic fibrous tissue that creates a constant retraction and compresses the articular structures, particularly those of the spine. Begin to appear as discomfort and pain in the long run, lead to diseases more or less serious back pain, cervicalgie, sciatica, hernias and protrusions of the disc. 


Chains muscle 

In practice, almost all very stressed sull'allungamento of posterior thigh muscles (ischio-crurali). Not a bad idea, it is important to note that the muscles and tissues miofasciali rear, from a functional point of view, are arranged in a "chain static back muscle" which includes the ischio-crurali. In practice we can imagine them as a single muscle that connects the occiput (back of skull) with the plants and your toes. This means that when we try to stretch every mismatch in antero-posterior or lateral, as well as any action and not comprehensive, the results will give little or no global sull'elasticità. E 'as the famous covered too short: if pulling toward the feet find the head and back. 


Multifunctionality 

The muscles of the static poliarticolari (ie, interest in general, with their action, two or more joints) and provide multiple functions. For example, in stabilizing the knee in extension, in latero-flexion and rotation between the femur and tibia. This allows multiple functions to these muscles to express retraction in a less favorable as possible. The retraction of ischio-crurali often manifests itself in an upright position with a ro-tation of the inner leg, often accompanied by a knee hyperesthesia (imbalances little debilitating for static). 


Be careful a. .. 

Supta Padangusthasana is one of the most interesting to improve the chain elasticit static back muscle. Compared to similar positions in feet (Padahastasana) or sessions (Paschimottanasana), allows for better control, thanks to the ground, the compensation level of the spine. On the basis of the foregoing it will be interesting to fix all the possible compensations to maintain the elongated neck without tightening, hold the lumbar region and sacro support, pay special attention to the alignment of the leg or legs raised; avoid any internal or external rotation (the patella should remain perpendicular to the axis of the leg); avoid any compensation at the level of the foot in supine or pronazione (respectively slope of the foot inward and outward), keep a large breathing, paying special attention to nell'espirazione again completely without chest shorten the neck, thus avoiding inspiratory partial blocks of the diaphragm (which also has a static non-negligible). 

The aid of a strap passed on the soles of the feet will allow many to avoid tension and blocks in the upper back muscles (upper trapezius in particular). The most severe back pain, especially chronic ones, are in need of examination and intervention of a specialist, maintaining the elasticity of the chain static muscle can solve the small hassle and stabilize the situation after any therapeutic intervention

Curves Health Yoga

In nature, except for some coniferous trees, there are no straight lines. By two spiral arms of the galaxy in which we find ourselves, to the double helix of our DNA, as occurs for all curves. The spine of the human being is no exception to this rule. At the time of birth, this column presents a single convex curve to the rear, which decreases gradually to about the fifteenth month of age, when he becomes almost straight. 

Towards the three years begins to appear a slight lordosis (curvature of a convex front) in the lumbar region, which stabilizes in more or less final, as the resulting curves and cervical dorsal, to eight years. The evolution of the traces in this way, in a sense, that of the species. The transition from quadruped position to standing resulted in first and then straighten the inversion of the curve in the lumbar section. This process does not seem to have completed a level of the basin, which maintains some degree of anterior tilt, which must be compensated by the lumbar lordosis. Here's how to explain both the lumbar lordosis and resulting curves normal (dorsal kyphosis, cervical lordosis), which vary depending on the position of the pelvis from one individual to another. 

In adults, the vertebral column presents four curves: 

- Sacrum: a convex posterior hard because the vertebrae that form the sacred bone are welded together 

- Lumbar spine: a convex front 

- Dorsal: a convex posterior 

- Neck: a convex front 


As the muscles respond 

Balance and tension of muscles and ligaments of the trunk is organized according to the spinal curves. If we look at the areas where the muscles tend to be more "short", and tonic too inelastic, and where the muscle is usually little tonic and perhaps too "stretched", we can see that the first situation corresponds to areas of the concave curves (lumbar and cervical), and the second to the convex (dorsal and sacral). We can represent the relationship between muscles and column imagining a bow: the muscles are stretched the rope, ready to incoccare an arrow, which maintains the curvature of the arch, ie the column. From these observations we can draw useful insights applicable to our practice, for example in the creation of positions of extension (bending back) of the spine. 

From a muscle will be more sensible to try to "open" areas that are prone to closure, relaxing and stretching muscles generally short and retracted, and not seek the extension of facilities and too little tonic "stretched". From one point of view and vertebral joints, efforts to improve mobility in areas of extension to rear convexity (dorsal and sacral), while avoiding too much to ask zones lordosis (anterior convexity, especially lumbar), often already too mobile and curved in such positions. 

Analyzing such Ustrasana will be judicious in the position: 

- Urging the opening of the inguinal region while maintaining the pelvis in retroversion (wider coxo-femoral joints, stretching the hip flexor muscles: ileum-psoas and femoral quadriceps); 

- Urging the opening of the chest and shoulders (extension of the dorsal part of the column, pectoral muscle lengthening); 

- Avoid accentuating the arcuazione tract of the lumbar column (and especially buttocks kept upright abdominal tonic and shortened). 

As for the cervical region, the speech is a bit more complex: the best solution nell'arretrare first time in a neck and head together, keeping the neck stretch (thus facilitating the mobility of the back area and prevent compression of the cervical unpleasant) ; letting go of the head back at a later time. 


More effort more benefits 

Our actions, in practice as well as in everyday life, are determined by how we conceive mentally. If we think of Ustrasana as a movement, we inevitably tend to use the line of least resistance, bending, where the structures, often unbalanced in that direction, against less resistance in this case emphasizing the lumbar lordosis at the expense welfare of the spine. If we try to conceive, instead, as a movement forward, where the closed areas may open, the situation may be radically different. 

Choose the path of least resistance, as in practice in daily life, it can immediately simplify things. But lacking the ability to operate a real change in the patterns of physical and psychological stress, strengthening the already existing imbalances and depriving them of future possibilities of a better balance.
