Yoga, which is done for me?
Author: Sahacrash. jr
I know what you think, you know that yoga by the few fragments recovered in the flight here and there. When you think yoga postures you see some air complex, we see a girl sitting cross-legged, eyes closed ready to invite us into the secrets of meditation, we see Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow and other Hollywood starlets, carpet Yoga in the arm and say, damn, that they succeeded! But yoga, there are many variants and all have their particularity. Besides an ongoing basis, each teacher in his own way of teaching yoga to her students, sometimes very westernized, sometimes more authentic yoga is a discipline to learn, understand and try and why not in all its forms!
So what yoga for you? Which benefits to each of its versions?
Here is some info on the most common forms of yoga, knowing of course that this is a simple overview of the discipline and the best to get an idea and see which suits us best is still to try it!
Hatha Yoga.
This is yoga as practiced in the West it is on this form of yoga that you are most likely to “fall” by registering for a course.
It consists of a series of postures to do, postures called Asana, and take some time to breath. Between relaxation, strengthening, relaxation, there is certainly work to the body but also and above all that we can find some unity between body and mind.
Allay our fears and concerns while bringing us back to our body and each of its members, its muscles, its tensions too often ignored or forgotten. Absorbed as we are working postures and breathing, it regains consciousness from our bodies and we simply forgetting the time of course what makes our daily lives.
Yoga Nidra.
Rarer in the West, the practice differs from the basic idea that there is yoga. No postures to accomplish here, but a “training” the mind somewhat. The goal of yoga nidra, a term which means “yogic sleep” is to regain full consciousness of his body first, that through the display and feel of each part of his body, then let go and relax completely by viewing images brought by the teacher it will be to visualize and even more, to feel. The body remains motionless and sways slowly to sleep said he recognizes. Between consciousness and sleep is precisely the issue, the body and mind deeply relaxed sometimes indulge a few moments of unconsciousness, but must remain at the very limit between abandonment and enlightenment.
For whom? For those who primarily need to let go, relax and even to learn to relax. They chase her concerns, her daily routine and we will contact completely immersed in a silence that comes only disturb or rather accompany the voice of a yoga teacher leading us towards the path of conscious sleep.
Ashtanga Yoga.
This is one of the most invigorating and physical yoga. Harmony of body and mind is an essential dimension of the practice of yoga, but it will be here to chain a series of postures to steadily working his breath but his coordination.
The breath just called Ujjayi is essential in this exercise and these postures have a rhythm of its steady pace and depth. The muscles and resist stretching, flexibility to work and mind is that some body parts are sought for the first time in ages!
It shows empty but also relaxed, all tension subsided, the body as renewed.
For whom? For those who wish, in addition to the relaxation and removal of tension, physical labor and depth. The body is strengthened, relaxed, unwound, a very good compromise between sport and relaxation.
The Iyengar Yoga.
At a pace slower than the ashtanga yoga, it will be here to perform postures always, but fewer and therefore more profound and rigorous. Especially recommended for those who suffer from persistent pain, back pain for example, Iyengar yoga can make a balance in his body, relearning example, to sit up straight back to relieve his tensions. All this by asking his muscles by respecting specific postures that may involve materials or accessories: chairs, straps, blankets. Between weight training, posture, stretching, found his body in its every corner and it relieves tension and pain.
For whom? Well precisely those who, by dint of sitting or suffer from poor posture muscle stiffness, pain, sore back. For those who want a thorough and calm those who want to pamper their bodies, maintain a regular basis while relaxing.
Mantra Yoga.
No postures to accomplish here, but sounds that act as vibration on the body to reproduce the rhythm of a deep breath. It inspires while the teacher gives the example of the mantra to make, meant, the sound vibration of the letters of the Sanskrit alphabet to reproduce, and in turn, exhale slowly and deeply as possible, it reproduces. It feels so gradually the vibrations of our own voice echoing depths of the belly while they are united with those of others. The practitioners of this yoga particular good, explain how these vibrations can affect the body by relaxing first, then the massage really inside. You learn to breathe and to “manage” his breath, shut his eyes, sitting cross-legged and focus on sounds that are repeated and that we feel in their own way.
For whom? For All! To completely relax and discover the power of vibrating sounds resonate in his stomach, his throat, his chest. like a real sounding.
