It’s no longer a secret, yoga has been in fashion for a few years now. A great favorite of the stars, omnipresent on social networks, yoga is everywhere. Perhaps you have already become interested in it yourself? (But since we’re nice, we’ll explain it to you again…) Yoga is an art of living that advocates the harmony of body and mind for physical and mental well-being. So, what are the real benefits of this essential discipline?
Origin of yoga
A long time ago in India (about 5000 years ago) appeared the now very famous “Yoga”, ancestral Indian practice, today recognized and appreciated in the West for its multiple benefits (with more than 2 million followers in France). This is a real philosophy of life. Yoga aims at balance, appeasement and fulfillment. This discipline is based on the harmonization of the body and the mind through the work of energies: mental and physical. Yoga heals the intention that animates the gesture and that materializes the mental energy through the action. Intention is the engine that determines the intensity of the gesture and the strength of the action. Yoga is therefore based on a mode of reflection and thinking centered on positive energy and aims at harmony and well-being (it’s not nothing).
You probably all know the saying “A healthy mind is a healthy body”. Well, yoga is just that!
Yoga and the mind
Pranayamas” sound familiar? These breathing exercises improve breathing quality and breath management by increasing the duration of inhalation and exhalation and by promoting the development of the rib cage. Learn to breathe again with yoga! These exercises strengthen your heart and lungs at the same time. Pretty cool, right?
Pranayamas are also known to reduce stress, insomnia and anxiety. It is a conscious breathing that regulates your breath and your emotions for a better self-control. Then in the event of crisis one does not hesitate… We stop and breathe…!
That’s not all, yoga also improves your intellectual faculties, promoting concentration, creativity, listening and clarity of mind. Speaking of concentration, have you ever tried maca? There is nothing better to stimulate you and increase your concentration! Yoga is centered on inner well-being, in particular through silent or sung “dharana” meditation. It is a personal and spiritual development tool that will improve your daily life in the long term. Basically the goal of yoga is to be yourself but better!
With regular practice you will improve your quality of breathing, sleep… and of life!
Yoga and the body
Yoga, a sport? Not quite, but almost. The promise of yoga: a supple and toned body… The dream! So, tame your body again thanks to yoga.
The yoga is a discipline that stands in the practice of dynamics and static posts : “asanas “. This is about performing exercises and reinforcement muscle engaging in your body. The muscles prefer the muscles to renew them on a daily basis.
