YOGA PHILOSOPHY
Aren't we all fascinated by this subject - I have had reason to look at it even more in recent weeks. Did you know that Yoga is an ancient practice which dates back some 5000 years and it started on the Indian sub continent and first appeared in some scriptures in India called the Vedas? The father of Yoga is called Pathanjali who recognised how complicated and diverse the practice of yoga was even then. He put it together in something called the Yoga Sutras and developed an eight limbed path for the practice of Yoga which leads to enlightnement. This became known by its popular name of Ashtanga Yoga.
The yoga that became very popular in the West is called Hatha Yoga and is practised widely by yogis and yoga practitioners.
Why is yoga good for you?
The physical strengthening of the body, core strength and flexibility.
It encourages a healthy lifestyle.
It boosts immunity and improves sleep.
It teaches better breathing.
It fosters calmness.
Reduces stress.
Increases self confidence.
The practice of Yoga on a daily basis therefore brings tangible benefits and helps achieve physical and mental wellbeing.
