The Benefits Of London Yoga Classes

By Marissa Velazquez


There are a large variety of benefits that one can derive from taking London yoga classes. At the most extreme, one can enjoy a high-level of spirituality and embrace a new way of life. It can be either purely spiritual or physical or a combination of both.

In its purest form, it is a way of life as well as a physical discipline. It can hold core values such as avoiding violence and shunning materialism. Other activities include contemplation and meditation.

The Western cultures have a high potential of taking advantage of the exercise. It is known by many names; asana being one of them. Asana represents the many positions that the exercise requires as a part of a daily routine.

There are many debates on the actual health benefits of Asana, but that depends on ones views of what medicine is. For instance, enthusiasts may believe that Asana helps with the flow of a life energy called prana. People who believe in the mainstream scientific theories of the body may believe that Asana has real health benefits to those who practice it.

Asana improves blood flow in the body through the stretching of muscles, and other methods that can relieve pressure on the bones and joints. Bones and joints can endure undue stress through bad posture and improper sitting such as at a desk.

The techniques include combining various breathing and stretching routines that are concurrent with calisthenics and strength training. Some people report having an increased sexual libido. It is much more than a simple exercise regime.

It is a holistic approach in the outlook of the mind, body, soul, spirit and life energy. There are many different schools that teach this discipline, but most schools have a unique outlook and approach in how they implement this in their training. While there may be many different variations of the teachings, the core foundations remain and not all will be listed here. The variations depend on the teacher and his particular habits.

There are 5 different forms of these exercises; ashtanga, hatha, kundalini, mantra, and tantra. Hatha has been around for a while. It teaches one to focus on improving the mind and body. Meditations and breathing are common forms of exercise in this discipline.

Ashtanga is becoming more popular with the Western culture than ever before. It is one of the faster paced of these various disciplines. Ashtanga focuses on aerobics and quick transitions from pose to pose. Kundalini is another discipline that gives priority to the awakening of dormant energy and focusing that energy for positive returns. This energy is represented by a coiled snake in the center of your body.

Mantra is the aphrodisiac of calming the spirit, mind, and body with the usage of sounds and words. Mantra is commonly known as the discipline that utilizes the OM chant during meditations. Tantra is focused on sexual energy, and it is much similar to the kundalini discipline. There are hundreds of London yoga schools that are quite diverse, and it is up to you to choose the right discipline.
