Everybody wants to be fit, healthy, sexy, and happy. So do you. But after having tried so many diets and exercise programs and failed, you don’t know who or what to believe anymore. You just want to feel and look your best more than anything else, but don’t know how to achieve that.
The time tested science of YOGA developed thousands of years ago by the sages of India can help you. Yoga has become very, very popular throughout the past several years and all individuals have their own little reason as to why they are so addicted to doing it regularly. Many have said that yoga is a great way to learn how to relax your body, sort of go off into another realm.
Yoga is more of a meditation than exercise and has been around for centuries and came about from the traditions of ancient India. But people all over the world have used it because the techniques include a lot of benefits. The stretches and strength building exercises (called asanas) will do wonders. You will be able to burn the fat, increase your flexibility, and also build muscles. The meditation part will help you in improving your mental powers of concentration and develop you spiritually.
Yoga is traditionally meant to rejuvenate the body. This means that although yoga is a difficult workout, it should make you energized as opposed to draining your body and making your feel tired. Therefore, when pairing yoga with other forms of exercise, you should do yoga first. You may be able to use yoga as a warm up. You will want to do this before you start any cardiovascular or any strength training exercises. You will find that warming up is very important for any work out. Yoga will teach you breathing techniques (known as pranayam) to prepare you for other exercises.
Yoga students must learn breathing techniques that help calm the spirit and focus the mind. With these techniques you will be able to breathe fully and there will be more oxygen going to your brain and throughout the other parts of the body. By practicing yoga, you will be able to do cardiovascular exercises for a longer period of time, since you will not be so quickly out of breath.Since yoga will help you to increase flexibility, you will be able to prevent some injures when you are doing other sports or exercises.
I will tell you about a lady I knew. After reaching a certain age, she started to feel tired. She did not like the way her clothes fit, she felt out of shape, and overwhelmed by the stress of her daily life. She had always wanted to try yoga, but felt more than a little intimidated. Anyone doing yoga on TV looked so fit, so flexible – and she had not exercised in years. Then after reading this yoga quick-start guide, and practicing for just a few weeks at home, she GOT it! She was amazed at how quickly her flexibility and fitness improved and she was able to do the difficult ASANAS (postures) in just a few short weeks. Yes, that’s all it took!
And it can work for you too!
I know, because yoga has worked for thousands of people just like you. In fact, the ancient yoga Masters of INDIA believed that age is not measured in years, but in the flexibility of your spine. How old does your spine say YOU are? Yoga can be viewed as an entire exercise regimen focused on stretching muscles. It also helps minimize and prevent injuries because yoga allows you to find your limits. This is important when practicing any sort of physical activity.I assure you that your situation is not unique. Thousands of people who were less flexible, less fit, and less athletic have become hooked on yoga. Without ever setting foot in a yoga studio, or paying for a single class, they have become practically addicted to it. And how great their bodies look and feel now! And if they could do it, so can you.
