The benefits of doing yoga

Getting in touch with your body, it could be argued, is something that a large number of people don't do nearly enough in modern life.

While kids move around constantly during breaks at school, in community sports and so forth, adults often lead sedentary lifestyles, which lead to poor heart health, a lack of energy and fitness, as well as often causing irregular breathing patterns. Many adults experience conditions related to their heart later in life due to an unhealthy lifestyle, often resulting in pricey medical bills in the second half of their life. Fortunately, there are solutions out there which result in better health, more energy to spend playing with your kids, more relaxation and generally a more blissful and peaceful state of mind. Yoga is often put forward as an antidote to many of these issues, and for good reason. It is said that you stop ageing the day you start doing yoga regularly, a statement which would be agreed with by those who practice yoga regularly.

Another solution, which often goes hand in hand with yoga, is meditation. Many yoga classes finish with a meditation known as Shavasana. During Shavasana, the teacher facilitates a guided meditation where each participant of the class attempts to relax their body as much as possible. For those who have experienced this form of meditation, they will tell you it's often the reward at the end of a difficult yoga session, and something which greatly benefits the body and mind. Those who arrive from a busy 9 to 5 job at their yoga class will experience a night and day difference between the chaos we are often engulfed in during a normal day's work and the calm, awareness of breathing and feeling of one's centre which is all part and parcel of the yoga experience. Yoga can have transformational effects on an individual's mental health. The mind craves space and serenity, and when it finds it in a group setting, there can often be an outpouring of love or other healthy emotions from an individual's core.

What Type of Yoga is Right For Me?

- Yin Yoga

According to Wikipedia, Yin Yoga "is a slow-paced style of yoga as exercise, incorporating principles of traditional Chinese medicine, with asanas (postures) that are held for longer periods of time than in other styles." This may be the best type of yoga for you if you're a beginner level yoga student wanting to relax and unwind after a long period of sitting down. There are many groups offering these kinds of yoga lessons (see the previous section for more information). However, if you want to use yoga to build your fitness, you may want to try a more intense type of yoga.

- Flow Yoga

Similar to Yin Yoga, Flow Yoga is not particularly high intensity. It focuses on meditation, breath-work and movement overbuilding fitness. One hour spent doing this will gradually increase in level until it actually does become quite difficult by the end. Again, this sort of training is for people who want to build their muscles, connective tissues, positive and mental health.

- Vinyasa Yoga

According to oneflowyoga.com, "Vinyasa is a style of yoga characterized by stringing postures together so that you move from one to another, seamlessly, using breath... it is sometimes confused with “power yoga“. Vinyasa classes offer a variety of postures and no two classes are ever alike."

In conclusion, one hour of yoga could be completely transformational for you as a human. Practice makes perfect and the more you commit yourself to yoga training, the more you will transcend your daily problems and become a zen master.
