YOGA - BREATHE OF LIFE
Yoga is a mental and spiritual practice that you should do
in your daily life, to feel the consciousness about your mind, body, and soul,
to feel that connection between all these three you need and should practice
yoga daily.
It’s not necessary that one must go with only meditation but you can also practice surya namaskar, basic asanas …..
Information about some styles of yoga.
There are different 8 styles of yoga
The first one is at a very basic level for beginners,
it is called hatha yoga which is at a very basic level as it has all the basic postures.
2] VINYASA YOGA
The second one is vinyasa, vinyasa is a yoga, where you are actually in a specific set of postures, it starts with breathing and then asanas, so it’s like the full package, unlike hatha yoga which is more flexible.
3] BIKRAM YOGA
Next is Bikram yoga
where room-temp. should be hot, it is mostly for those who have blood
circulation problems, and it is good for them, there are 24 postures in Bikram
yoga, which anyone can practice, the basic room temp needed is 30 degrees to
40 degrees, if you are flexible you can go till 45 degrees.
4] ASHTANGA YOGA
Another one is Ashtanga asana, which is a practice where there is a series, first one is Surya namaskar, and then further postures which are for experienced people.
5] HOT YOGA
The next one is Hot yoga
where there are no specific postures, it is supposed to be done in hot temp. , it
helps to lose your body, it also includes breathing exercises, also those who
think that they have somebody pain can practice this.
Next is Iyengar yoga,
which is also for beginners, it uses props that include: - a chair, stool, bricks,
ropes, strips, etc... They are used to see if the postures are done correctly or
not
As yoga is all about correct postures, if they are not done
correctly it may harm your body.
7] KUNDALINI YOGA
Next is kundalini yoga
where one needs to be very focused, there are breathing exercises included in
this, if you take 4-5 postures then you need to focus on it and do it with full
concentration and need to take it slowly here experience the chakras, mind, body, and soul that all are attached only if you are at an intense level in yoga
Kundalini yoga is something that will make your body
flexible but for that, you need to understand all the asanas and all the exercises, one needs to know how to start and end them properly, it is also important you need
to know your breathing pattern.
8] RESTORATIVE YOGA
Next is restorative yoga, which means the moves of your postures should be very slow, you need to do 3-4 postures in an hour, it is much relative to kundalini yoga it can be done by beginners, you can do basic postures, need to take regular breaks while doing this yoga
Most of the time what people do is - watch CDs and then practice yoga so how far is this correct
No, actually if you are experienced, you know how to breathe, in cd they show the process, and most of them show it properly but not all the time, if you do not have proper knowledge about yoga and its process, how do start, how to take it to the end and finally how to end it, if you do not have that knowledge it might go wrong and
you have to be
careful with asanas.

What is the difference between yoga and gym / physical exercise?
Yoga and gym are totally different, yoga is something that can help you to gain peace of mind and increase concentration, it helps you to connect your mind, body, and soul, and feel eternal peace while the gym is to make muscles and do physical exercise, and it has nothing to do with mental peace and concentration

are not good for your health they are one type of steroid…

with slow, mindful music.
With the help of meditation, one can awaken
chakras which will initially heal your all pain

AUM is actually an energetic word that is a sacred symbol, yoga begins and ends with AUM chanting which is for the warm-up
and for inner peace too. One can also start your day with AUM chanting and
then meditation, which has a very positive vibration
Does all the school must include yoga in their schedule?
Today’s generation feels yoga, and meditation are boring so the school must provide the postures with creativity, for e.g., Tara san is a tree asana so they can ask children to do it with nature, do it while trying to touch the tree, etc…
Schools must provide proper sessions to
develop proper methods for breathing which are very imp for children.
Yoga develops confidence, calmness, and tolerance power increases in children.
Following are the basic postures:-

- Tarasan
- Padottanasana
- Uttanasana

meditation, AUM chanting, running, etc.
