The Posture work of Yoga Asanas aims at promoting physical health of the spine, toning and suppleness of the muscles, increased range of movement and suppleness of the joints.
What is Yoga
Tue, 02/02/2010 - 10:23 | Laurence In its basic definition, the word Yoga comes from the Sanskrit Yogum or Yuga and to Yoke is to unite, join, or union. At the simple level, it is the union of body, mind and spirit and the practices to achieve this union. 3000-5000 years old, encapsulated by the Sage Patajanli (-300BC) into a system of Yoga with 8 steps: personal and universal commandments, posture work, breathing work as the initial outer steps, leading to the inner steps: detachment, concentration, meditation and enlightment.
Benefits of Yoga Postures
Sat, 01/23/2010 - 11:59 | Laurence The Postures that aim at the mobility of the Spine are primarily Back-Bends such as Setu Bandha (Bridge), Bhujangasana (Cobra) and Dhanurasana (Wheel) or Ustrasana (Camel).
Those should be practiced after some spine warm-up kneeling postures such as Bitilasana (Cat-Cow) or Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downward Dog). Standing postures aim to promote good skeleton-muscle alignment and increase strength and stamina in the muscles of the limbs in particular the Warrior series.
