How To Do Yoga – What’s It All About…!

Everyone has heard of Yoga and many people want to know how to do Yoga but it ain’t that easy.

Once you start looking into the subject it’s really easy to get confused!

…. Is it a religion?
…..a set of weird looking positions you put your body into?
…..people sitting around cross-legged chanting “om” to strange Indian music?

…and what does it have to do with us?!!

And yet, you read everywhere that it’s good for you and helps the soul!

It’s actually all of those things and more! And the great thing is that you can do whatever bit of it appeals to you.
There’s no rules and regulations about it (unless you’re a practising Hindu – but even then – there’s many paths to the same goal and many styles of Yoga!)

Yoga can basically be split up into 2 different aspects: The Asanas or Postures (that’s the exercise part of it) and The Meditation.

The Asanas are different positions, many of which can be easily learnt, which stimulate different systems in the body as well as tone the body.

For instance there’s certain positions my teacher tells us to practise during winter to build up our immunity system to protect us against colds and ‘flu! And you know, while everyone around me (especially my husband!) has had the flu this winter (I’m in Down-Under Land), I have stayed remarkably healthy and well!
