Yoga for mind and body - Health Tips Lesson 1

2009-01-25T12:02:00.000-08:00

Yoga for mind body and soul - Yoga comes from the Sanskrit word Yoga which means spirituality and exercise. Yoga has been practiced by the Indian Gurus for ages. It was the only form of exercise for the Gurus who led a simple life and were particular about meditation and mind exercises. For keeping their body fit they did yoga every morning and evening.

Yoga as an exercise consists of so many exercises which deals with all sorts exercises that can be done by the us and it exercise targets a different part of the body and some exercises are solely dedicated to the mind.

I will come to those exercises later but the fact is that these exercise need to be done in a disciplined manner.

Yoga’s do’s and dont’s

Breathing is a very crucial element of yoga and that means that Yoga will be a perfect way of doing the exercises if you can control breathing. Wrong breathing while doing yoga can cause brain damage as well as hernia.

As a beginner never try to do the complex exercise but do simple exercises.
Find yourself a good qualified instructor. With the mushrooming of yoga institutes all over the country the chances are that some of the institutes may not have qualified instructors and that can be a bad thing as wrong yoga is very harmful.

Cold start of anything is bad. Same goes for Yoga never start doing the yoga exercises directly as you are more likely to cause ligament damage as well as tissue damage. Always do some warm up exercises before you do yoga.

Clothes – Wear looses clothes when you are doing yoga exercises. What that means is that Yoga should be done in clothes which are loose fitting else the free movement of legs and arms is restricted causing one to do improper exercise.

People with back and spine problems should never do the Yoga asana without consulting the doctor. If you have any ailment like heart problem or any serious health issues make sure to get the doctors advice.

Never try to outdo others if you are in a group setting as Yoga is not a competitive sport and rather it is a very relaxation oriented exercise form. So if you are in a competitive mode then the likelihood of you doing the wrong exercise is much more as well as your mind will not be relaxing. This is complete the anti of what Yoga is supposed to be.

Update - read all about exercise equipment here.

If you experience pain during a particular posture avoid that exercise and ask for a doctors opinion. Yoga is no substitute for doing exercises to burn calories.

Definition of health

2009-01-25T12:01:00.000-08:00

While starting to write this blog I wanted to search for the definition of health and as usual the first thing that I did was to search for health in Google.

Wikipedia said that there is nothing per se which can be called a universal definition of health and each and every one of the countries and cultures define the health in a unique manner.

It said something like a resource for everyday life and the not the objective of living. Health is all encompassing and it said that health is meant to be the positive concept which is sure to mean something very abstract but which is wanted by everyone young and old.

Health is wealth is definitely true in a way. One because the health of the people is related to the general sense of well being as well as what it means is that you cannot but live a good life when in good health. You are cheerful, you enjoy various things in life and also work hard to make sure that it is very much the essence by which we live.

Health is money nowadays because of the increasing cost of healthcare the world over. By this convoluted logic health is something that we say is money or wealth.

Not too say that health is an end in itself. There are so many things if you want to keep yourself in good health.

Now good health can mean mental health, physical health. For a lot of people health means intense physical activity and body building but that is not true and you should make sure that health is not only physical well being but also mental as well as psychological well being.

Health is directly proportional to fortune, money, and inspiration. Laughter and love.

That said there have been so many of the factors which have made sure that we all have good health that in this blog of mine I will be giving health and beauty tips on many such things which are more of a particular culture like Feng Shui or the Yoga or even meditation in some cultures.

The health is also affected by the environment, our lifestyle as well as what we eat, so I will also be giving tips of health eating as well how to maintain a good environment.
This includes nutrition as well as stress management. Stress is one thing that also affects the health and excissve work or home related stress can cause a lot of damage to yourself and the brain too.
