Hatha Yoga | Practicing Indoors and Outdoors

2009-12-23T11:47:00.000-08:00

Whether you practice Indoor or Outdoors, practice Yoga with good ventilation in a room or place that is calm and peaceful. You can also practice Asanas outdoors provided that the surroundings are pleasant, such as a nice garden with lots of greenery and flowers which is very soothing visually as well as quiet.

Practicing in the cold wind, polluted or smelly air is inadvisable, as you'll need good air to obtain maximum benefit of breathing asanas. Also practicing in close proximity to furniture or a fireplace is hazardous. Plus you'll need a good amount of room to perform Asanas with your arms and legs. In case it's pretty hot, then you can practice yoga with a fan to keep your body cool and comfortable.

Hatha Yoga | Controlling your Weight with Diet and Exercise

2009-11-30T08:10:00.000-08:00

Yoga is for everyone, irrespective if you are underweight, overweight and of normal weight. For instance if you’re overweight and are practicing Yoga, you should eat a restricted diet with less calories and avoid eating red meat, fatty and fried foods. However, if you’re underweight or of normal weight, then you can be more flexible in your diet, provided that it’s nutritional, so you can maintain good health.

Some of the Nutritional Foods for Yoga practitioners should include Oats, Barley, Wheat, Rice, Pulses, Green Vegetables, Fruits, Milk, Yogurt, Nuts, etc… So, if you need to lose weight or gain weight, then Yoga will enable you to do so provided you exercise daily and control your diet.

Hatha Yoga | Exercising on an Empty Stomach

2009-10-22T12:08:00.000-07:00

From the time that you eat, there should be at least three hours gap prior to practicing yoga, whether you exercise in the morning or evening, as this will enable you to perform Yoga Asanas appropriately. Otherwise you might have stomach pains and risk the possibility of hurting your digestive areas when doing stomach, back or any exercises where you're required to do twist and turns, be it standing or sitting down.

Almost all Asanas require breathing and Pranayama requires deep breathing. So, exercising on a full stomach will affect your ability to breathe deeply as your stomach is already bloated with food. Plus, eating before you exercise will mean that your body will spend more time to digest and as a result, will burn less fat potential. However, eating lightly such as fruits will ensure that you obtain maximum benefit of physical and breathing Asanas performed, as your body will spend less time processing food.

Hatha Yoga | Practicing Yoga with the right Instructor

2009-09-22T12:31:00.000-07:00

If you're beginning a Hatha Yoga class, you should be asked questions about your current state of health by your Certified Yoga Instructor. The instructor does this to gauge your ability as to which asanas you can and should attempt to do in relation to your health. This is the one of the key indicators of recognizing and practicing yoga with the right instructor.

The health questions posed to you by your instructor can vary from existing conditions of back problems, breathing problems, heart problems, high blood pressure, diabetes, etc… The more detail you give to your instructor on your current state of health will help you as a student to avoid any injury or aggravate an existing health condition. Along with that, you'll also learn the particular exercises or asanas required to minimize your existing health conditions.

As a newcomer to learning hatha yoga exercises or asanas you'll require individual attention and care to ensure that the exercises or asanas carried out by you are done appropriately for maximum health benefit and under supervision of a certified yoga instructor. And after a couple of yoga classes where you've appropriately followed the instructions given from your yoga instructor without inflicting injury or aggravation to your body, you'll begin to feel the benefits of improved health. This is also another key indicator that you are practicing yoga with right instructor.

Hatha Yoga | The Human Body is just like a car

2009-04-30T11:11:00.000-07:00

The Human Body is just like a car. And if you want your car in good running condition it needs at least five things - lubrication, a cooling system, electric current, fuel and a good driver behind the wheel. So Hatha Yoga exercises or Asanas (postures) lubricate the body by lubricating the joints for good running condition. Postures keep the muscles and joints running smoothly, toning all the internal organs and improving blood circulation (fuel), without creating any fatigue. By doing Hatha Yoga exercises, you also tone your muscles and bones (electric current). Relaxation is the best cooling system in Hatha Yoga and the body is cooled by complete relaxation. And with a combination of exercises and relaxation you learn how to gain control over your mind and body.

Yoga means discipline of the mind and body. The word Yoga comes from the root word "yoke" meaning union or to unite, i.e. unity between the mind and body. Here in the west, the most popular form of Yoga practiced is Hatha Yoga. "Ha" means sun and represents heat, energy, masculine or yang. "Tha" means moon and represents coolness, calm energy, feminine or yin. Together they represent uniting polarities of the universe and the body to bring about balance. Yoga is not an ancient myth buried in oblivion; it is the most valuable inheritance of the past to the present. Yoga is not a theory by practical way of life; it is the essential need of today and the culture of tomorrow. Yoga has nothing to do with any religious practice or culture at all, its essence is Universal. In today's world these four letter words "Yoga" has so much power that if you practice yoga you will see the benefits for yourself.
