Yogasana And Pranayam

The book explains elaborately the basic concept of Yoga, its origin, philosophy and aim, and also the relevance of Yoga in the present world. In fact, Yoga has an answer for every possible ailment/disease that affects the human race, including some of the deadly ones too, such as Cancer, AIDS, etc. Initially, the Yogic saints developed the Yogasanas by referring to animals, birds, trees and other creatures in order to stretch or relax. There are innumerable Yogasanas discussed in the book. Some of the well-known among them are: Surya Namaskar and its different poses, Uttana Padasana (Stretched leg Pose), Pawana Muktasana (Wind Release Pose), Naukasana (Boat Pose), Chakrasana (Wheel Pose), Padmasana (Lotus Pose), Halasana (Plough Pose), etc. Another salient feature of the book is that there are different sections, such as: Management of Common Diseases through Yoga, Pranayama & Yogic Diet, Yoga for Seniors, Yoga for Women, Yoga for Children & Students, Yoga for Managing Stress, etc. However, it is recommended that Yoga should always be practised under the guidance of a trained Yoga Teacher/Practitioner.

Can I ask you for 30 minutes out of each day? Maybe, you are thinking that that 30 minutes could be better spent somewhere else, but here's where I say, "No, this 30 minutes is worth more than just 30 minutes." There is no doubt that we exist in a culture that disregards the growing trend of increased stress & anxiety, poor lifestyle choices, and sedentariness. We learn to look at ourselves and ask, "How much can you do for me?" rather than, "How can I help you work your best?" In this day and age, we live for our bodies, but not for our minds. People remind us to step back and take a breath, but why not go further than this empty adage by trying Pranayama, the yoga of breath? With just 30 minutes of each day, this wealth of benefits will come to be: * Increased concentration and awareness * Increased sense of stability between body and mind * Alleviation of the symptoms of stress, diabetes, hypertension, insomnia * Increased respiratory system functionality * Ability to stimulate and prevent overstimulation of emotions * And more! This book will talk about the components and benefits of Pranayama yoga in detail. Not only that, but it will also outline 5 different types of Pranayama Yoga that you can take advantage of, depending on what benefits you hope to obtain. I did neglect to tell you the biggest plus to practicing Pranayama Yoga - it is that it can be done anywhere and at any time... even now!

Briefing of Asanas and Pranyama following loosing exercises and breathing techniques. More than 10,60,000 copies sold. Swami Vivekananda proclaimed "each soul is potentially Divine. The goal is to manifest this Divinity within, by controlling Nature – external and internal. Do it either by work or worship, psychic control or philosophy; by one or more, or all of these and be free.' The systematic methodology of unfoldment of this inner potential Divinity, by moving towards Self-perfection is referred to as Yoga by Sri Aurobindo. Yoga is thus a process by which the Animal-man ascends through the stages Man-man, Super-man and the Divine-man.

Our mind is like a pendulum; swinging from the past to the future, regret, and anger to anxiety and fear, happiness to sorrow. It is 'Yoga asana' that enables us to maintain equanimity. Yoga asana is not a mere workout or exercise! As described in Patanjali's Yoga Sutra -"sthira sukham asanam"-it means Yoga asana is a balance of effort and ease. We give the effort to get into the posture and then we relax. Yoga asana brings that balance in every aspect of our life. It teaches us to put effort and then let go, to get detached from the result. Yoga asana increases our physical flexibility and expands our minds. This book gives you a variety of Pranayam (breathing exercises), Yoga Asanas, and Sukshma Asanas (micro exercises) and a fluff-free guide, to understanding and Practicing Pranayam, Yoga Asanas, and Suksma-Asana's. Therefore, you can boost your immunity & strength, becoming more flexible, supple, and strong internally.

Filled with chakra activation charts, images and descriptions of over eight hundred poses, and Sanskrit translation guides, this comprehensive encyclopedia makes the spirituality, practice, and language of yoga more accessible than ever before. Packed with over eight hundred individual poses performed by renowned practitioner Yogrishi Vishvketu, Yogasana: The Encyclopedia of Yoga Poses is the most comprehensive yoga asana guide to date. With poses adapted to every skill level, the encyclopedia is an invaluable resource for both the yoga novice and the studio owner. Nearly a millennium ago, the hatha yoga tradition included over seven hundred thousand yoga poses. Today, only a fraction of those are known. Yogi Vishvketu, a lifelong yoga devotee, bridges that gap by connecting modern poses to their ancient roots with an intuitive naming system that fuses past with present. Thorough translation charts—which provide pose names in Sanskrit script along with transliterations in Sanskrit and English—help practitioners gain an understanding of the relationship between the name and the spiritual significance of each pose. The energetic essence of each asana is unveiled through a detailed chakra chart and graphic indicators depicting the chakras activated by that pose. With poses organized into a logical sequence with roots in the traditional Himalayan system and enhanced by Yogi Vishvketu’s decades of practice, this yoga compendium showcases the asanas, the language, and the spiritual path of yoga together in a single, all-inclusive volume.
