HowtostartdoingyogaandIt’sbenefits If we read the history the word “Yoga” comes from the Sanskrit word “Yuj” which means “union or to join. You can be traced back to northern India over 5,000 years ago. Indian monks spread their knowledge of yoga in the west during the late 1890s. Modern teachings became widely popular in western countries by the 1970s. The main purpose of doing this practice was to increase the focusing power and to know the basic nature of the human body. For the last few years, people have become more aware of yoga and its practices. It increases awareness power and its asanas help to be physically strong as well. The biggest secret of any successful person has been the power of focus and how much aware he or she is towards goals. On the basis of scriptures of India, asanas make you aware of your body’s senses. Ultimately, human or any other living being’s bodies are made up the nature. Doing asanas, somewhere helps you to translate your energy through your whole body. India’s sage monks had spent their whole life in the search of increasing focus power. Many modern scientists have believed that Indian monks have played a very massive role to find out some universe secrets. The human body is also made up of the elements of the universe so those who are in the search of god have to understand that we are the real source of god. Doing yoga provides mental healthand reduces all the negativity from the body.

The term has been derived from a Sanskrit term that means “posture” or “pose”. The main aim of performing all the “asanas” is to understand the concept of “Spirituality”. Spirituality simply means to know your spirit which we also call soul. On the basis of “Rig Veda”, the whole concept is all about being aware of the flow of energy in this universe. But, modern society has totally changed the concept of Yoga. There is a number of institutes that charge people a very high cost but don’t provide the actual concept for which people have joined their institutes. There used to be many “Gurukul” back in the past, still, they exist but in very numbers. At that time Yogies or Gurus used to teach the real importance of the “Spiritual path” to the children. That is why many times even modern science has accepted that India’s scripture books have already revealed “n” numbers facts of the universe, which is based on reality. So, it means that if the concept of yoga was already there in our holy books then there must be some secrets which we are not aware of. a) Bikramyoga It is the upgraded version of hatha yoga and one of the oldest traditional forms. Bikram yoga became so popular because of Bikram Choudhury in the 1970s in California. This form is performed in a warm or hot room.
The reason to perform this practice in heat is that a heated room warms your muscles and allows you to work deeper safely. The heat also heals, helps prevent injuries, and makes your body operate more efficiently under every condition. Bikram yoga exercises are one of the most intense exercises. Someone who does this form can relate very easily. It sweats a performer so much and also reduces the salt quantity in the body. That is why it is clearly instructed by the trainer to drink water to keep hydrated. Only certified trainers are allowed to give classes on this practice.

Iyengaryoga It is closer to hatha. One holds on to the poses for a longer time period. It is much deeper than hatha yoga in detail. Most people perform Iyengar yoga to recover from any injury as fast as possible. It is a form of yoga as exercise with a focus on the structural alignment of the physical body through the practice of asanas. Basically, this exercise as an exercise is totally different from the other ones. It focuses on the structure of physics while doing yoga. This form was found by B.K.S. Iyengar. This exercise focuses on three aspects: alignment, sequencing, and timing. Alignment- Allignmeans leads to make the best possible poses of yoga without having any physical injury. People use props to stretch and make themselves comfortable while performing this physical activity. Sequencing- It means that everything should be sequenced. From your breathing to your yoga postures. Because one mistake can give you internal injury. Timing– Timing plays an important role in yoga. If everything is fine but timing is not in the right direction then it can create a problem for you. Even beginners also can start doing this practice but they should have patience. People have experienced a good level of changes in their physical or mental health after doing this Iyengar yoga.

It is totally different from “hatha”. The process of Vinyasa is to focus or on breathing while performing the poses. Poses of Vinyasa are much complex as compared to other types of poses. There is no gender gap when it comes to doing these types of exercises. In today’s world, even children are much involved in this practice. It doesn’t just make you physically fit but mentally also. Thousands of years ago, Rishimunees and monks were the real teachers of yoga. In Indian culture, Spirituality plays a very important role, but somewhere we are misguided by some fake leader in spirituality. The invention of yoga was happened 5000 years ago in “Rig Veda”. In the poses of vinyasa yoga, it takes a lot of strength and energy. Breathing plays a very important role because taking a deep breath keeps you mentally calm and relaxed. It brings a high level of flexibility to our bodies. Many centers are there to join Vinyasa yoga but every teacher may teach differently. It has levels that start from simple to complex. Humans’ bodies are not flexible naturally, one has to perform some activity to achieve it.
In Vinyasa, one moves with your breath from one pose to another without holding anyone’s posture for a long period of time till the time to end the whole performance. Beginners may find it difficult but the result will take them to a different level in terms of their mental health or physical health. BenefitsofVinyasaYoga Vinyasa helps to experience different dimensions of the body. Although it’s complex but gives strength and flexibility. Going from one pose to another one with breathing coordination brings stability physically and mentally. One of the best benefits of vinyasa is knowing the capability of the body and taking care accordingly. From simple posture to complex one takes a lot of time, but grows you in personal aspects as well. Vinyasa yoga creates a knowledgeable connection between mind and body d) HathaYoga It increases your councisiousness power and raises the lower mind to the higher mind. The purpose of this form of yoga is to bring balance to physical and mental health. But now the meaning of “hatha yoga” has been forgotten and there is a misconception about hatha yoga. Because these two forces interact with each other as we breathe, we eat, we live and we think. So, yogis felt that these two forces have to be balanced in our bodies to increase the level of consciousness.
The whole sciences of “hatha yoga” comprise six purificatory techniques and they are Neti, Basti, Dhoti, Nauli, Kapalbhati, and Trataka. But later on, the thinkers and the writers when they wanted to make this a complete science yoga they added a few changes into that and that time the practices of asana, the postures, and the practices of pranayama, techniques of breathing added in that. Some mudras are also added in this process which made it a complete science to raise and awaken different chakras and to bring balance in the pingla and Nari. once the pingla and Nari is balanced there another channel flows called Sushumna which is the passage of spiritual experience BenefitsofHathaYoga It is performed in the sense of devotion to god. It is considered one of the superior forms of yoga. Yogies, thousands of years ago used to perform this form to connect to the god. The whole concept of this activity expresses the meaning of oneness. Yoga word is driven from Sanskrit which means oneness, everything is connected to each other. The best time to perform this form of yoga is in the early morning. Early morning is considered the time of all superior energies and silence is also there. So, you can feel the connection. We don’t have this sense to be connected to this universe. It` gives you a feeling of connection and also makes the balance of your internal energies. Conclusion We have understood that how big the concept of yoga is. We are living in an era where people are in depression, facing anxiety their mental health is totally destroyed. Basically, we have imagination fears about what will happen if I don’t do this, what if I get failed in exams, what if I lose my job. No one ever teaches us that how should we live a happy and peaceful life. Many studies have shown that those who always run after temporary pleasures suffer the most mentally and physically both. We have to understand that nothing is more important than good health and a peaceful mind. A mind which has no fear, anxiety, depression, or mental health is also good.
