  1. YOGA Let us understand a few types of yoga

  2. Ashtanga yoga • Ashtanga yoga has become extremely popular in recent years. It is a very graceful type of yoga, which produces intense internal heat causing the body to sweat profusely, and in the process, detoxifies muscles and organs. The word 'ashtanga' comes from two words 'ashta' meaning eight and 'anga' meaning limbs. Ashtanga yoga involves the following eight limbs: • Yama - principles of ahimsa, satya, asteya, brahmacharya and aparigah. • Niyama – personal discipline including shoucha, santosh, tapa, svadhyaya, Ishwarpranidhan. • Asana – yoga positions • Pranayam – breathing exercises • Pratyahara – withdrawal of senses • Dharana – concentration • Dhyan – meditation • Samadhi – salvation

  3. The benefits of Ashtanga yoga include: • Makes body more flexible • Cleanses and detoxifies the body • Improves health of the lungs • Improves blood circulation • Improves power of concentration • Builds patience • Helps gain confidence • Gives strength to fight stress and tensions

  4. Hatha yoga • Hatha yoga is the most popular system of yoga, and it is from this form that several other forms of yoga originated. Hatha yoga is translated as 'forceful yoga' because it requires a lot of physical effort. Hatha Yoga is done to achieve balance between body and mind. It also attempts to free the more subtle spiritual elements of the mind through physical poses or asanas, pranayam and meditation. • Hatha yoga involves four main parts: • The first includes yamas, niyamas, asanas and diet • The second includes pranayama and shatkarmas • The third deals with mudras, bandhas, the nadis and the kundalini power • The fourth includes pratyahara, dharana, dhyana, and samadhi
