What is yoga practice

What is yoga practice?
Now we know that one of the most popular for of exercise in the world is yoga asana practice. There are millions of people are fascinated and experiencing this amazing ancient technique. As we say old is gold yoga is supreme and perfect. But still for a beginner or someone doing yoga long time too get confused on the path sometime. If you practice yoga just for physical fitness there is a chance for this tiredness or confusion. How to practice yoga it very important. In ancient time as we know yogis were not thinking to increase their flexibility or go for a yoga competition. It was not the purpose for asana practice. Their aim and attitude were totally different from modern man yoga practice. That does not mean that there were ignorant about new ideologies or modern man needs. They realized what a man need in his life and what are the causes of sufferings. But now we are not aware of those things. We are not still aware of why we practicing yoga. Even not aware of a single asana well how does it work with an individual. We are doing just as we do an exercise. May be you dont agree with this. But there are many people do like this, that category of people are confused or tired after a while. Nothing going to change unless you understand this principle. If someone use body just for asana practice without proper understand get tired as we do any physical workout.

Asana has a meaning it is stable and study. From body to Mind. Body need to treat comfortable and keep it queit. This help to make mind steady and quiet. Very simple. Next how to select and practice. That you have to learn from a teacher or Guru. Guru is better because he knows what really a student needs. Guru means an experienced or realized person. Moreover Sradha(great attention) Viswas (faith on action) are necessary. I think those two things most of the people lost. Because of our modern mind. But it is possible to discover yourself. Nothing has lost. Only our mind feels tired and hopeless. But the moment you begin to believe your self and go through Sradha and Viswas you will see a right path.

Om Shanti
