Yoga and Its Benefits

Working at night shifts made me gain the weight I effortly try to loose before so I'm trying to find ways to stay fit but going to the gym and having a strict diet is not an option for me. I am really not that lazy to excercise but I only have a few hours of sleep each day that going to the gym makes me sleep even lesser. And since I consider myself sleep deprived (hehehe) I am afraid to go on a strict diet that I might get sick one day of not having enogh nutrition.

So, i got interested with Yoga and I decided to take lessons on Hatha Yoga. I really don't have a clear idea of what is yoga, I just thought that it might help me loose some of my extra pounds and it was good, excercise, relaxation and lessens stress all in one. Generally, practicing yoga makes you fit, reduces stress and helps you have a better disposition in life. Research also found out that the benefits yoga poses is grouped into physiological, psychological, biochemical effects. But its a pity that I always miss my Tth classes because sometimes I'm too lazy to get up of bed early and sometimes due to other personal reasons.

Then the foundation organized a two-day talk on Yoga Wisdom, the Speaker was Acharya das and I got more interestred with Yoga philosophy more than Hatha Yoga. I don't know but I really got amazed by his talk and his wisdom that I wanted to learn more. I realized that Yoga is more than just relaxation and getting fit. Through Yoga, you learn to find happiness and beauty in simplicity, to love unconditonally, become more peaceful and be closer to God. So, i decided to take lessons Yoga philosophy and last sunday was my first day. We talked about knowing one's self and purpose in life.
I am so excited to learn more and I want to continue Hatha Yoga, and I will it time permits, but definitely, I will continue taking lessons on Yoga Philososy, so far, I am loving what I am doing. Sundays is supposed to be my rest day but learning yoga is worth sacrificing my rest day.

For added information, here's the benefits of Yoga Excercises:

Increase Flexibility – yoga has positions that act upon the various joints of the body including those joints that are never really on the ‘radar screen’ let alone exercised.

Increase lubrication of the joints, ligaments and tendons – Surprisingly it has been found that the body which may have been quite rigid starts experiencing a remarkable flexibility in even those parts which have not been consciously work upon.

Massages All Organs of the Body – Yoga is perhaps the only form of activity which massages all the internal glands and organs of the body in a thorough manner, including those – such as the prostate - that hardly get externally stimulated during our entire lifetime.

Complete Detoxification – By gently stretching muscles and joints as well as massaging the various organs, yoga ensures the optimum blood supply to various parts of the body. This helps in the flushing out of toxins from every nook and cranny as well as providing nourishment up to the last point. This leads to benefits such as delayed ageing, energy and a remarkable zest for life.

Excellent toning of the muscles – Muscles that have become flaccid, weak or slothy are stimulated repeatedly to shed excess flab and flaccidity.

Back to Blogging

It's been quite a while since I last posted anything on this blog. I've been busy lately with work and also with personal life that I can no longer find time to think of a nice article. It's my third day now being unproductive at work since my client is currently suspended, and that means I don't have anything to do. We'll actually, I was given a SEO traning module for me to read and to study while waiting for a response from my client, but I can't just focus on it straight for more than an hour. So finally, I was able to find time to open my blog and at least write a little something.
