Yoga as a sport has emerged relatively recently, but has already become one of the most fashionable Hobbies. A high percentage of practitioners attend yoga classes for the sake of physical exercise (in yoga practice — "asanas"), not showing interest in the very essence of yoga. The fact is that the benefit of yoga is not only in the improvement of the body, but also in spiritual development. This is confirmed by long-term studies of its impact on the human body. In the East, it is like a religion (lifestyle, perception of the world, etc.). But there are those who are skeptical about yoga, comparing it with sectarian teachings. Perhaps the facts given in this article will encourage someone to study ancient science and help to change their attitude to it.What to expect from regular classes? What is its difference from the usual training in the gym? What benefits for the body and soul it will bring? What kind of harm of yoga is possible for the body or it still does not exist?
See for yourself.
What is and where
Getting acquainted with yoga begin with the study of the history of its origin. We will not find a specific date in any source when a person first began to preach yoga. That's exactly what happened BC (in the sacred texts indicate 1500 years). At the same time, the first mention of meditative practices, the main postulates are touched upon and depict people sitting in a Lotus position.
Today, any instructor will tell you that yoga is a set of static physical exercises and spiritual practices, such as meditation. What else do we know? Originated in India. No specifics... all the knowledge you need to get yourself! Exercises-asanas-have a huge impact on the emotional state of a person, make the body strong, and the body resistant to a variety of diseases and even prolong life.

Separately, you can select Pilates-a system of physical exercises that contribute to the recovery of the body after illness and surgery, suitable for regular practice at any age (less dynamic, does not require special training). Previous articles have already given recommendations on how to choose a class for classes. The main principle is the trial method.
People who once became ill with yoga, understand that it is necessary to go through several stages. In Ashtanga it is 8 steps:
Yama — ethical rules that must be followed every day. At this stage, it is important to understand how real masters live. The pit is equivalent to our Christian commandments: "thou shalt not steal", "thou shalt not kill", etc. basically it is doing no harm, nepristoinyi foreign and abstinence (from promiscuity, bad habits, etc.).
Niyama is a spiritual development (as well as worship of the gods).
Asana — the physical aspect of regular exercise.
Pranayama - work with breathing, achieving optimal state by breathing (struggle with stress, nervousness, fears, etc.).
Pratyahara-awareness, concentration, the ability to look deep into yourself.
Dharana-complete abstraction from the outside world, increased concentration, attention to one point.
Dhyana is a meditative, altered state of mind (the ability to completely disconnect from the outside world to reach enlightenment — the last stage).
Samadhi is a state of mind in which" all the impossible becomes possible", insight and wisdom.
What makes people at a young age to master complex poses, for the first time to sit on the twine and learn the mantra — prayers, each sound of which has a sacred meaning (a strong weapon for the fulfillment of desires, healing, peace of mind)?
There are many reasons for this:
the fastest and most effective way to become flexible and hardy (there are many strength exercises);
health improvement-strengthening of the spine, cervical spine and back muscles. Stabilization of the cardiovascular system, normalization of pressure, stress relief in the shoulders, lower back, legs. Help in cleansing the body, strengthening the nervous system;
competent approach to weight loss;
variety of physical exercises and ready-made programs;
the opportunity to engage in their own at home.

About the health benefits of
Any fanatic who practices yoga for 1.5-2 hours several times a week will name a thousand and one reason to devote his life to the study of this practice. But even if we are not going to give up everything and run to Tibet to comprehend the secrets of human existence, it is useful to know why we are sweating in the hall and wrapped in knots no worse than a Tibetan monk.
So, yoga practice:
It makes us flexible and the muscles elastic. Try to set a goal - to do the splits in 2-3 months. Difficult and painstaking work, but it's real! If you have ever done gymnastics, muscles can easily remember how to stretch. Therefore, we observe how 50-60-year-old ladies are formed into intricate asanas and look young and energetic.
Helps to reduce body weight. The eternal problem that worries women of any age. Dynamic and power yoga improves metabolism and accelerates the process of weight loss, as well as helps to permanently consolidate this effect. In modern fitness clubs there are even yoga classes for weight loss.
Forms the Royal posture — is struggling with a curvature of the spine, strengthens the muscles supporting the back.
Prevents brittle bones in the initial stages to stop the development of osteoporosis and osteoarthritis etc. Is not only a problem of the elderly. Statistics appeals of young people (for example, seriously involved in sports) to orthopedic surgeons depressing.
Reduces the risk of certain diseases. This has already been mentioned in this article, but we list again: normalizes blood pressure, the cardiovascular system, gastrointestinal organs, lymphatic and immune system, regulates blood circulation, prevents the development of diabetes.
Controls the production of stress hormones. The hormone cortisol in physical and mental stress is produced by the efforts of the adrenal glands. Yoga exercises help to deceive the brain, to calm the nervous system, to concentrate on the present moment.
Teaches you to control your body — which is only balancing in the handstand. The result of the movement more clear, confident.
Does not exclude the development of exorbitant abilities. There are cases when yogis became healers, psychics, were able to control their mind. Some were able to survive in hellish conditions without food and water for several days.
Becomes a great painkiller. The practice of meditation helps to numb the pain of female malaise, back pain, lower back pain, cervical pain, etc.
Makes more confident, and gets out of the doldrums. The way of life after some time necessarily changes (provided that the relationship with yoga you have a serious and long-term), it becomes easier to cope with bad habits, to realize the true purpose.
Makes cheerful and energetic. Even if it rains outside the window for the second week, a real yogi knows that this is no reason to go sullen and dissatisfied. Yoga teaches us to be optimistic about everything. Ayurveda, which is part of the science of yoga, gives advice on proper nutrition, and it helps to save energy without doping (coffee, cigarettes, energy).
It helps to become more open and contact. The principle of "serving others" will not allow you to refuse to help someone. People who do yoga are perceived as a bright sun, to which you want to reach.
There are so many pros that it is impossible to imagine that yoga can be harmful. So what kind of health damage can yoga do?
About health hazards
Like any physical activity, yoga is contraindicated in specific cases. This can be a serious health problem, excluding sports in principle.
Yoga is a traumatic and sometimes dangerous sport. If you try to jump from the place in the quarry and in the second lesson to stand on his head without support, it's over печально.https://mystroimmir.ru/yoga/polza-vred.html
