What is Yoga?
Before we get into the benefits of yoga, it’s important to know what yoga really is
Some people call yoga an ancient practice, while others call it the setting of a difficult exercise
But the word yoga actually means unity
Yoga is a sport that connects the body, brain and soul throughout the body with postures, concentrations and breathing controls. Rivand Yogi, Sadguro Jagi and Asdo call yoga a term of life and say that yoga unlocks the keys to nature
Yoga is not just about bending or breathing and holding your breath, it is also a mechanism that takes you into the real world
If you allow the energy of your body, the body expands this feeling. This event enables you to experience the whole world as a part of your being and to do and make everything possible, and this is the union that yoga creates
“Yoga makes you feel comfortable,” says the founder of yoga, Patanjali. You may be surprised that an asana is just one step of practicing yoga. This means that it helps you feel good
The goal of yoga is to create a harmony between brain, body and soul. When you do the exercises well, you will be able to show your best ability
Complete unity throughout Hatha Yoga and its branches (Ashtanga Yoga, Lingayoga, Bikram Yoga, In Yoga, Gondalini Yoga) can be successful and depends on what you like and the problems that can be achieved through practice
