This ancient practice can help to lose weight after the holidays and to find harmony with itself! Yes, you understood correctly, I'm talking about yoga!
Yoga comes from Atlantis
Do you know where the yoga came from? Immediately I say that the answer »from India» is not to be offered. The eastern peoples have a beautiful legend on this score, as if in the immemorial times on Earth existed the continent of Arktida, on which the civilization that possessed Knowledge lived. She did not have them for long - after the global catastrophe the continent ceased to exist, and the only survivor passed knowledge to the inhabitants of the mythical Atlantis. And those, in turn, informed his more or less real Ancient Egypt, and only from there it got to India. The term »Knowledge» is not accidental - the ancients perceived yoga not as a sport, but as a method and means of cognizing the world. AT ? Ossia yoga came in the late 80's - along with hippies, oriental martial arts and other sights of third world countries. Engaged, where necessary, in the role of teachers were home-grown instructors - all this often led to the not accustomed to the eastern »freak» Russian organism to serious injuries. After a lapse of two decades, everything went a little bit tidy - in? Russian professional teachers and yoga development centers appeared. However, you still need to be careful not to fall into the hands of charlatans.
Iyengar, Ashtanga, Kundalini ...
Before you do yoga, you need to decide - whyit you want? For the modern man there are two meanings of the word: on the one hand, yoga - a religious-philosophical doctrine, whose purpose - to achieve harmony of mind and body through asanas (postures defined), breathing techniques and meditation. Schools, training it, united by the common name of hatha yoga. In St. Petersburg, there are: Iyengar yoga - by the name of a Hindu, who developed this set of exercises, Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, Kundalini Yoga, effects on the nervous and endocrine systems of the body. Describe in two in a nutshell unlike one school from another is impossible, and it is not necessary, because they all serve a common cause: to teach people how to live and interact effectively in accordance with the laws of the universe, well, incidentally - to improve and maintain the health of the body.
Sport without philosophy
What is difficult? Of course, just between home, work and family will be able to seize at least a minute a day for knowledge of the universe. But you do not despair - especially for you invented a fitness yoga and Pilates system. Fitness Yoga, yoga or European - is virtually the same set of exercises - breathing exercises and asanas, with only a minimal presence of »philosophical» component. Roughly the same is Pilates - a set of gentle exercises performed in different planes, combined with proper deep breathing, aimed at developing flexibility and strength, which pays attention to the center back and press. Thus, you have a great figure, posture and stretching, learn to breathe correctly, but the »depth of ancient cultures» will be held by you.

Yoga - a favorite occupation is not only simplemortal, but world stars. Actress Uma Thurman recognized that only through yoga, she was able to start shooting the movie »Kill Bill» after just three months after giving birth. Pilates system gained worldwide popularity after Madonna chose her to recover after a cesarean section. Even our celebrities are not far behind - we know that doing yoga Valeria Natalia Vetlickaya and singer of the group »Mill» Helavisa.
