Commonalities between a Pilates and a Yoga 2007-06-05 20:51:00 Many times Pilates
is confused with Yoga; maybe because both have this mystic sounding name and have non-American origins. However, confusing one for the other is very common.DifferencesPilates and Yoga differs greatly from one another in terms of philosophy and method of exercise. Pilates is the regime of exercises that originated in 1926 and concentrates upon making the body strong with the help of special balance exercises which ensure that the posture of the body is great. These exercises are usually done with the help of springs and pulley and weights which support the way the spine functions and supports the body. Added to these exercises, there are breathing techniques which are aimed at increasing the efficiency of the balancing acts.Yoga, on the other hand, works on the premise that the body can be manipulated to produce the chemicals the body wants- and this done by stretching the body in certain positions called asanas. Yoga uses the deep breathing disciplined schedule to b
Introducing Hatha Yoga 2007-06-03 11:18:00 If we were to mention the word yoga, all sorts of imagery might come to our mind. Some of that may include sitting cross legged on the floor, thumbs to the forefingers on each hand, and meditating. Although, parts of this are true, yoga is much more than these associated images. To better engage in the yoga discipline it is import to understand what is yoga, specifically the purpose of Hatha Yoga and a clarification of Hatha Yoga poses. What Is Hatha Yoga?The practice and beginnings of yoga can be traced back thousands of years to the India. The word literally means union and the concept of this discipline is the blending of all aspects of the human person with the universe. Yoga is not a religion.

In other words, Hatha Yoga is a preparatory form of yoga that is practiced prior to entering into more advanced yoga techniques. Hatha Yoga can be likened to the performing of warm-up exercises before e Read more:Introducing
How to Clean Yoga Mats 2007-05-30 21:10:00 Contrary to popular belief, cleaning yoga mats is not rocket science – not even close to it. Just because yoga has special positions and techniques doesn’t mean that special instructions transcend to maintaining its equipment as well. The common sense thing to do is to carefully read the instructions before purchasing the mat just like you would with an article of clothing. This way you judge for yourself if you would like a high-end dry-clean only version or a simple machine washable one.At Home vs. Professional Clean

Gaining the Benefit of Yoga 2007-05-27 22:57:00 A discipline doesn’t manage to exist for 5,000 years unless it has something to offer. That’s about how long yoga has been around in one form or another. It may have begun as a meditative discipline and grew into a physical one or vice versa. The word itself means “union” and its purpose is to break down barriers between mind and body, soul and spirit, self and god.Today, there are many branches of yoga. The meditative branches go as far as Transcendental Meditation with little or no physical aspect. The physical branches go as far as Pilates without much meditation. Often when a Westerner thinks of yoga, he pictures a form of Hatha Yoga which combines the physical demands with some meditation and stress reduction.Basic BenefitsThe benefit of yoga comes in three forms: physical health, stress reduction and –for those who seek it – spiritual growth. There are many forms of exercise that produce results similar to yoga. What makes the benefit of yoga superior is the stress-bu Read more:Gaining
Kundalini Yoga Uses Mind and Body to Communicate 2007-05-26 23:08:00 A medicine discipline, Kundalini Yoga comprises a set of simple techniques which make use of the mind, senses as well as the body to form a communication that focuses on psycho-spiritual growth. It also evaluates the potential of the body for maturation with special emphasis being placed on the role of the spine and endocrine system in comprehending yogic awakening.Concentrating on psychic centers also known as charkas in the body, Kundalini Yoga generates a spiritual power that is called kundalini energy.

The Goals of Kriya Yoga 2007-05-24 20:04:00 The practice of yoga goes far beyond the muscle toning exercises associated with it in the Western mind. Perhaps 5,000 years old, yoga has been practiced as a discipline to bring the individual soul in union with the universal soul through breathing and meditation. Passed down from master to student, the discipline of yoga has branched off in many directions as inspiration has taken hold of one master after another. There are four basic schools of yoga: Karma, Jnana, Bhakti and Raja. In each school there are many branches suitable only for those who are able to give their lives over to the study and practice of it in the style of monks. The goal of this type of yoga is to achieve self-realization and complete the cycle of reincarnation so that death will bring the soul to an eternal union with whatever spiritual afterlife the practitioner believes in. Kriya Yoga is a mixture of several schools of yoga intended to bring self-realization to those who cannot give up the material world to Read more:Goals

It is true that yoga is old, but the worldwide opinion of its source many not be under consensus.Personal SpaceYoga was originally done on plain soil; however, today, people are not very comfortable to sit in dirt and sand. Rather, they choose mats so they do not have to sit on the floor directly. It has the obvious advantage of keeping clothes and parts of the body clean. However, another advantage of yoga mats is that it allows a person to carve his or her personal space; his boundary which he would not like anyone to enter. Such a concept is more prevalent in the West and it would be nearly impossible to make such a definition of personal space on bare ground.Slipping vs. Non Slip Yoga MatThere is a great var

The Role of Yoga Wear 2007-06-14 10:41:00 While yoga has been teaching a spiritual union for thousands of years, the need to avoid physical distractions is a necessary aspect of clearing the mind for meditation and poses. This means finding a comfortable place free of distractions, assuming a pose that allows good breathing techniques and a relaxed position and putting on clothing that will breathe with you, move with you and do it all without uncomfortable distractions. That is the role of yoga wear.Yoga DisciplineBefore deciding on the yoga wear you need, take a look at the branch of yoga you will be studying.

Yoga Therapy Works Wonders for Different Ailments 2007-06-21 14:00:00 Being overweight is more the norm these days than the exception. With sedentary lifestyles and poor portion control, people are consuming too much food with too many calories. Watching TV is preferred to playing with friends or socializing or spending time with the family and this has contributed to more and more people having problems with their weight and becoming obese. Also, stress and bad food habits such as irregular meal times and consuming too much junk food coupled with little or no exercise and thyroid problems have caused people to put on too much weight. Weight Loss, Diabetes, Aches and PainsDieting or exercising programs that are very tedious may not always be ideally suited to shedding the excess weight and there may also be cases of skin sagging after sudden loss of weight.

Sivananda Yoga Teacher Training 2007-06-27 18:15:00 Over the course of 5,000 years, yoga has been developed, studied and passed down from master to student. The yoga master is regarded as the embodiment of the Divine in some schools of yoga. The many branches of yoga have developed because of this manner of teaching. A master or guru, after years of practice receives inspiration and changes the emphasis of the type of yoga he follows and a new branch is born to be passed along to the followers of the guru. Most true devotees follow the teachings of the traditional branch of yoga as well as the individual teachings of his master. In the 1960s, yoga became known in the West. Because of the modern communication technology, knowledge of yoga spread more quickly than the yoga masters could manage. In some cases, sincere students became followers of insincere teachers. In part to meet the new need, yoga masters began to use new methods for yoga teacher training. Swami Vishnu-devanandaAmong the first masters to develop yoga teacher t Read more:Teacher

Choosing a Yoga Bag 2007-06-25 21:45:00 Yoga has been practiced for about 5,000 years. Over the course of that long expanse of time, many branches of yoga have developed. Many of the older schools emphasized the denial of the physical world and the serious followers of the discipline often left home and family to live a Spartan existence in an ashram. The mind was focused on the spiritual realm while the body assumed postures that helped in meditation or in the seeking of spiritual truth. No yoga mat was necessary since the ashram was built with asanas (postures) in mind. No bag was necessary since the students devoted their lives to the ashram. There was no place to go. Today's yoga practitioner has a very different view of the discipline. Instead of yoga being the center of your life, it is usually a means to bettering your life. Instead of scheduling your day around asanas, breathing techniques and the study of the ancient texts, you probably try to fit a quick visit to the gym in around your busy demands. What
Using the Yoga Mat and Bag 2007-07-01 10:00:00 A discipline that has lasted for 5,000 years like yoga can certainly adapt to just about any type of condition. Whether a practitioner of yoga follows a form that concentrates on physical poses or meditation of a combination of the two, most yoga teachers encourage following a regular schedule. Both meditation and physical exercise have more benefits when they are performed at about the same time each day. However, today's lifestyle is more complicated and demanding than the lifestyles of yoga practitioners over the centuries. The answer to the problem of scheduling is to make your form of yoga portable. All you need is your own yoga mat and bag. The Right ToolsMost schools of yoga teach union with the spiritual realm rather than the temporary physical one. Most yoga teachers tend to set a Spartan example. While it is usual to need no tools beyond comfortable clothes and a sincere mind, having your own yoga mat and bag can be a big help. In spite of practicing a departure fr

Yoga Meditation, Enlightenment and Health 2007-07-08 06:15:00 Of the four pillars or paths of yoga: Bhakti Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Karma Yoga and Raja Yoga all feature meditation as an important element. All forms of yoga are descended from one of the basic four. Some forms of yoga include many postures; some only encourage the disciple to find the posture for peaceful mediation. Some forms of yoga focus on the Supreme Being and service to him; others only encourage the discovery of a life force within and communion with it. The word "yoga" means "union" and the unifying aspect of all forms of yoga is yoga meditation. Whether one studies a form of yoga that teaches a mantra or a form that encourages one to seek a unique mantra, whether one studies a form of yoga that teaches meditation as a concentration on a spiritual truth or a form that teaches meditation as an inward turning, yoga meditation is common to all forms. While all religions encourage some form of meditation, it may be surprising to learn that science also encourages it as a way Read more:Meditation

Breathe, Meditate, Chant and Workout in Your Yoga Class 2007-07-12 23:15:00 Yoga classes are all about breathing since they teach you that breath is life and with the exchange of electrons and energy flow in which air is the foremost nutrient, survival without air would only last a few minutes. The aim of a yoga class is to teach the student that he or she should learn to breathe without thinking and that the breathing is their spirit's voice having a good deal of depth, smoothness, sound as well as reflects the person's mood. Becoming aware of the breath and breathing helps in staying calm and is the gateway to the spirit. When we are inattentive, the spirit tells us of the state of our body - however, no one is home to notice. When one is attentive, the breathing changes and the conscious mind speaks with the spirit inside the body and this is how healing occurs.
