The benefits of yoga involves a lot of techniques for your everyday life. Some examples include stress, anxiety, and the lack of relaxation. Yoga comes into play when we want to calm down and keep our bodies focused on things that are relaxing. There is a variety of music that we use for yoga exercise and yoga classes to, but the main point of doing yoga is to stay focused and relaxed by calming our bodies down. The first thing to do is to find a quiet place to do yoga exercise and make sure that loud noises do not destract you from what you do. When doing yoga you build muscel strength along with balance and endurance. Yoga teaches us to relieve stress and anxiety by learning the basic moves that help to strengthen the body too. Here are some of my favorite moves I love to do: Upward facing dog Downward facing dog Child's pose Cobra The bridge pose Corx Pose Plank Mountain Pose Tree Pose Dancing Sheba These are just some of the moves that are done in a yoga class or at home. When I do these moves I feel good after 30 minutes of yoga and it energizes me to start my day the next day. Trying yoga would be a good way to keep focused on good positive things. Have you done yoga before? Do you feel great after doing it? and does it relieve the stress that you go through? If you have not done yoga before, try it and see if you like it.

I have often thought about having a go at Yoga, I have heard so much about it but when I see some of the positions I am so scared I would make a fool of myself by not being able to do it.

There is a beginner level of yoga that you could try, but I understand how you feel about feeling embarrassed when you wouldn,t be able to do some of the moves. If you give it a try and practice doing yoga you will feel good about doing it. I remember my first time doing it too, but I worked hard and practiced and that is how I got better at doing yoga. Give it a try one day. You will find that the beginning levels of yoga are a lot of fun. If you find that you still don't feel confortable doing yoga don't stress yourself out.

Yoga will builds confidence and self-esteem. We can increase creativity and get positive energy by regular practices of yoga. It is great exercise for body as well as mind. I am doing yoga on a daily basis at least 1 hour and I feel better every day…! http://www.ataia-yoga.ch/ashtanga-yoga/

I wonder why I always see the same discussions. Is there a reason to write exactly the same twice or not to respond on others who share the same opinion or kind of same opinion? It would make reading all the points of view way easier and more interesting. To be honest I don't see any benefit of yoga since there are at this moment so many kinds of. I think you only have benefit if you have the time, take the time to relax and be with yourself. Feel and enjoy yourself. Give yourself a place, put yourself in the centre of attention instead of always being there for others and ignoring your own wishes and feelings. And this you can do in many different ways it starts with having some privacy and not being afraid to be alone.
