Yoga seems like great excercise that can be practiced by all sort of kind of people and doesn’t require much cost or space.
I have read about Yoga before, but actually only tried it once and I didn’t like it because it was a center run by Hare Krishna people who tried to convince us to join their group, so that was a bit stressful.
However, what is interesting here is to read about Kundalini Yoga because what I’d like to find is a sport that can help me relax after work.
I’ve tried doing yoga following a book or an internet article like this one, but it would be better for me to find local yoga places that can actually help me find the type of yoga my body needs.
I think a great factor in yoga is a peaceful environment that inspires the body and soul to start yoga and meditation for best results.
I tried yoga sometimes at home with a DVD. After doing it, I always get relaxed and I feel my muscles tight. While working out I don’t really feel I am making a big effort but the day after, I usually have stiff muscles. I always tell myself I have to do it more often. And I think it is true everyone can do it, although there are different levels.
I am really surprised by all the diseases that can derive from body tension. I have never thought about it, we certainly need to pay attention to it and take action.
I have never practice yoga before, but I find it very interesting. I am really intrigued to see if I am able to perform some of the poses of yoga. I think it is a great way to release tension and at the same time it will help me to spend some moments with my inner self as well as stretch my muscles and exercise my body. It involves everything that a girl wants!
I am really planning to give it a try! Until I find some time, I can start practicing it at home.
I’ve always wanted to practice Yoga, but I’ve never known which kind of it would be better to start. Now with this information I will take a better decision.
While the wording of the article is a bit confusing to read, I completely agree with using Yoga as a medicine. Beyond Kundalini Yoga, so many other genres are extremely therapeutic, such a Ashtanga, Gentle Hatha, Vinyasa, and Power Yoga.
There are great benefits on this activity! Even some of its exercises could benefits kids during sports activities or before class for concentration
