Yoga Dvd - Top Tips

What is more important - the Yoga teacher or the style of Yoga being taught?

Each of us has an inherent purpose, which is lying dormant, in most cases. If you look at people around you, how many of them have found their purpose? Most of them become stressful because of that. Are you not stressed? I bet you are occasionally? See, practising Yoga the correct way will help you reduce your stress and at the same time help you find your life purpose! The goal in the Eagle posture is to squeeze everything together and keeping it in one line; the shoulders, hips, knees and the ankles. This is just like focusing all your attention to achieve what you want to achieve in life!

Give yourself a fantastic break and go on a yoga retreat, yoga holiday or yoga vacation. It is my contention that most people are only aware of the exercises and not what the exercises are meant to prepare them for. It s as if somehow they never get to hear the music. They only see and hear the exercises.

Perhaps you are saying that this is silly. After all, great pianists make beautiful music when they are playing. That s true.

You have to remember that, there is no time and sometimes no desire to learn more of Yoga in class.

Sometimes, the instructors themselves have not been taught more than these exercises, sometimes they do not practice them and sometimes they do not want to lose students who are not ready to transform themselves.

In reality, the true Yoga practitioners like the true classical pianists study the already written works of great composers and try to play them as the composer intended them to sound. Modern jazz pianists try to understand what their fellow musicians are playing and try to make up new, never played before music that fits in perfectly with what is going on around them. You can play for yourself or you can go play for the enjoyment of others.

This is similar to what true Yoga is like. It applies to the real Yogis who really are out there to help you fight stress! They know eactly what you need to do to reduce your stress level and manage your stress!

You can study the ancient scriptures or you can go out into the World and practice Yoga in everyday life. You can practice Yoga for your benefit, or for the benefit of others.

I am not saying that going to a Yoga class and stretching for an hour is of no benefit. Not at all. There are plenty of benefits which anyone can and will get from even this limited practice. However, since their practice is on the gross or physical plane, most of the benefits will be limited to this physical plane: Better Health.

And so the most Yoga, or Union, they can hope to achieve is that of uniting one part of their body with another, via the flow of their Pranas.

Therefore, Pranayama should be of extreme value to all athletes and anyone who wants to be in peak physical condition. You can cycle a single leg forward and backward - as you would a bicycle.
