How to Practice Yoga?

The eight limbs of yoga mentioned by sage Patanjali in the form of yoga sutras help to achieve a higher state of consciousness. 

 

They include:

  1. Yamas: Morals

  2. Niyamas: Personal Conduct

  3. Asanas: Movements and Postures

  4. Pranayama: Breath

  5. Pratyahara: Sense Withdrawal

  6. Dharna: Focus and Concentration

  7. Dhyana: Meditation

  8. Samadhi: Union Absorption

 

A regular and disciplined practice of asanas , pranayama, meditation can help to control ego, calm the restless mind and improve the overall quality of life. 

It makes the body resilient to keep the diseases at bay and improve the functioning of mind for higher productivity.

Yoga For Runners

Yoga is a fantastic tool for runners. It contributes in developing muscular strength, mobility, and balance necessary for a single leg activity like running. This helps in reducing the risk of injury, and also helps you improve your mental focus and breathing efficiency for running.

 

Asana that strengthen and stabilize the core promote agility preventing low back aches and risk of falls. Improved balance is one of the most important benefits of yoga, especially as you get older.

 

Poses that require you to stand on one leg, and, for more advanced practitioners, turn you upside down in an inversion, can be a great way to build the core strength to hold you upright.
