Yoga in America
Topic-related Information
Yoga means "union" in Sanscrit, the language ofindia where yoga originated.
Yogacombines physical exercises, mental medi- tation, and breathing techniques to
strengthen the muscles and relieve stress. It's the union between the mind, body and
spirit. Yoga has been practiced for thousands of years as a life philosophy to connect
the individual self with what practitioners call the Divine, Universal Spirit, or Cosmic
Consciousness. Yoga
is best known as a type of exercise system that stretches and strengthens the body
through various poses called asanas. But yoga goes far beyond just a mere exercise
routine. One of the most compelling reasons to begin practicing is the holistic outlook
it takes—working mind, body, and spirit. Body-mind yoga is a very diverse practice, no
matter which school you choose. Young and old people can gain many benefits from
regular yoga practices, and asanas can be adjusted to fit physical limitations and other
complications.
Nowadays, yoga exercises have become more and more popular all over the world.
Yoga is not just a physical exercise, but a mental discipline, which offers great benefits
when practiced regularly. Apart from physical fitness, you can also get complete
relaxation of mind by making yoga exercises an integral part of your life.
There are many different schools of yoga, all of which have their own unique
practices and philosophies. The prominent types are: Bhakti yoga, Hatha yoga, Jnana
yoga, Karma yoga and Kundalini yoga. Almost all types of yoga have their unique
qualities. The most common form is Hatha yoga, which includes postures (asanas) and
various breathing techniques (pranayama).
