Yoga – very popular and fashionable kind of sport available presently practically to everyone. But very few people know that the yoga is, first of all, the work on reason, but not over the body. Even if you ideally carry out all poses of yoga, thinking at the same time of work or any household problems, you will hardly comprehend this high art. From here the following question follows: what to begin the occupations with yoga with?
For a start we will understand a little terminology. Poses for yoga are called asanas. Shavasana is the easiest of asanas where you lie on the back. It would seem what can be simpler? But the most important task in this pose is not lying, but your feelings. You have to plunge into the so-called borderline case in which you are between conditions of the dream and wakefulness. The most important is not to fill up, hold this state so much how many you will be able. Relax, you breathe exactly and quietly. And not to be distracted by foreign sounds and objects, concentrate all the attention on feelings of the body, get rid of all foreign thoughts.After exercise performance properly remember all these feelings as at practice of the following asanas you have to achieve the same borderline case. For this purpose conform to the simple rules provided below:
1. Having received the chosen pose, concentrate on feelings: it is convenient to you or not? When performing asanas you shouldn't feel any discomfort, whether it be numbness, excessive inflow of blood, or just uncomfortable position. In that case repeat all over again, yet you won't feel full relaxation. If in that case nothing leaves, use for a start auxiliary objects, such as wall or chair.
2. Having found position, convenient for you, relax, as when performing the shavasana. Only you remember that various groups of muscles which have to support you are involved in various asanas. That is muscles which will be relaxed and which will be strained, in different poses will alternate.
3. Concentrate all the attention on breath: it has to be smooth, free, easy, not sharp and not noisy, the stomach at the same time can rise and fall.
4. Having executed successfully all manipulations given above hold the asana chosen by you as long as you will be able. For a start it can be several seconds or minutes, then time of performance has to be extended. After each asana have a rest at least several minutes before starting following.
It isn't necessary to chase unimaginably difficult asanas or to hope for fast result. Only small short steps it is possible to come to the great purpose!
