Yoga: The literal meaning of the word Yoga is“Add”. India is the place Yoga has originated a long time back to the mythological times ( over 5000 years). Another meaning is ‘remain positive in all you do’. All in all, it is the practice of the idea that mind and the body are one. The word ‘Yog’ originated in India. The ultimate object of Yoga is to associate oneself with the higher being or attain greater awareness or a state of mind, where there is no stress or strife.

One is always remaining focused on the beneficial effects of breath and enhancing the cosmic energy in a physical world that is the human body of the participant.

Many trends for training or workouts come and go in the way people exercise or work out. Yoga is here to stay – always constant and steady and in harmony. It is a mixture of keeping the mind and body in a state of bliss. There is no error or fear but a feeling of peace. It is much more than just burning the calories. It includes slow and steady of stretching the muscles and mind relaxation by controlling thoughts or meditating while breathing and moving the limbs. It can also mean to attain a state of increased calmness; or otherwise, reduce levels of pain, anxiety, stress or anger.

Now we consider different types of Yoga:

In Patanjali Yoga, the intensity is slow and gentle and builds up after getting introduced. It blends the stages as follows: Always concentrating on the breath following the movements of the body. First, lying on the back for various stretches, second, remaining in the stomach and in the third stage in sitting posture. One can do the jogging or aerobics steps either before or after the yoga asanas to have a good circulation of blood and generating heat before starting ti pranayamas.
