[thebitchishungry]

i'm almost 19 and i feel like my body is not as functional as it should be, i'm 1,75 cm tall and weight 62 kg but i have no flexibility and posture problems. And as most people, anxiety issues. So i've decided to try Yoga to get in shape. Thank you for the videos :)

Yoga does help breathing. It helps bring together the spiritual and the physical world. This combination is important to bring about a change for the better.

[FreeYogaVideos]

@healthnut4life48 Personally I would not use this mat after looking at your website. It looks cheap, there are a lot of qualities you need when looking for a yoga mat. A few pictures on them is not high on my list. Sign up to the email list over at my website I am going to review a lot of different yoga mats as after 15 years of using mine I finally need a new one this year the search is on.

Namaste 

[healthnut4life48]

@FreeYogaVideos

I am no where near as experienced as you are at Yoga, and I very much appreciate you knowledgeable insight you share with myself and fellow users through your videos. For myself, being a novice at yoga, and having a very busy lifestyle, I found the TrainerMat to be nice, because it was the same price as most other mats, but also had a basic routine of 28 stretches printed onto it. The quality seems nice to me and I am a fan of the fact that is eco-friendly!

Thanks for vids!

[777h555]

are you supposed to fell tension in your legs? If not how can you have a straight back and relaxed legs?

[FreeYogaVideos]

@777h555 Your legs need to be alive and not over working other wise you will Jam and you don't want that .

Namaste

[FreeYogaVideos]

@healthnut4life48 Cool is not a requirement for a good yoga mat . Grip and how they last are important.. So personally I would pass on this mat.

[Rimber6]

These guys didn't build all those muscles by doing yoga did they?

@asdbey735 how cant people like that exist in the 21 century...

[briggles]

@asdbey735 Dam right!

[thebrood1987]

I hate to break it to you all but this isn't yoga this is a form of gymnastics. If you want to know real Yoga which means to meditate on God or have God Consciousness look up Prabhupada. Bhakti-yoga is the highest form of yoga where its just complete devotional service to God. So many people in the West have been mislead by false yogis but this is all explained by Prabhupada. Look him up on youtube for more reference.

[FreeYogaVideos]

@thebrood1987 22 years old and a Yoga expert rehashing information without the full understanding. You are 20 % right. Bhakti yoga means total love for God or God realization , But you have left out many other important and valid paths . Rāja Yoga "royal union" Karma Yoga, "discipline of action" Jnana Yoga, "path of knowledge" & Hatha Yoga "preparatory stage of physical purification that the body practices for higher meditation. " There is no quick fix and you have to start somewhere

[thebrood1987]

@FreeYogaVideos Why mention the other ones when you can skip all them and go to Bhakti-yoga which is perfection? Age actually means nothing being that we are soul which is eternal. So if your going by age your going by material means.

[moocownaee]

@FreeYogaVideos well guess wot its better than what you can do :)

[temp911Luke]

We Christians and Catholics should not get involve in this kind of blasplhemy. This is a MORTAL SIN AND a step for a posession. satan and all demons love when Christians and Catholics get involve in yoga.

[FreeYogaVideos]

@temp911Luke Hi I know a lot of Christians and Catholics that do yoga it is fine . The do it for the physical benefits.

If you study developmental psychology you realise that you cannot force your belief system on everyone as there is always other things to take into account.

namaste

[ladystardust2008]

@temp911Luke Yoga is nothing but good. for the mind and body Anyone can practise yoga without compromising their religious beliefs. I think if everybody did their would be a lot less people needing medical help for anxiety and stress-related conditions of all kinds, which is nothing but positivity if it helps people to feel well. Satan and demons don't exist and it they did they would have bigger fish to fry than yoga enthusiasts. Wait... that's a great plot for South Park... Yoga Aramgeddon...

[thebrood1987]

@temp911Luke But this isnt Yoga this is gymnastics. Real yoga means bhakti yoga which pretty much means total love for God or God realization or God Consciousness. Its the exact opposite of mortal sin. Its a service to God.

[FreeYogaVideos]

@thebrood1987 Rāja Yoga, Karma Yoga, Jnana Yoga, and Hatha Yoga are all valid paths it is a foolish man whom thinks his way is the only correct way. There is no quick fix & we need to start with the simplest of things and build on that day after day. Yes some yoga is like gymnastics which is fine In the Hatha Yoga tradition body practices are the preparatory stage of physical purification for the higher meditations. All the yogas when practiced correctly end in the same place.

Namaste

@temp911Luke LMFAO.

@temp911Luke for fuck sakes, i guess i'm going to hell :P at my CATHOLIC highschool, we have yoga classes soooooo suck on that

[EncyclopediaReader]

I use to have a lot of anxiety. Yoga took it away.

[GroverProjects]

@EncyclopediaReader Hi, I'm having pretty bad anxiety nowadays and was wondering if there were specific poses that helped you a lot with getting past anxiety.

[briggles]

@EncyclopediaReader Same here.

[karrysingh1]

Hello Al!! Thank you for this gift. I've been looking for a simple way of starting with yoga. Please advise how long should we do this first breathing exersice as beginners. Thanks so much.

[FreeYogaVideos]

At least a year until you really can do it with out thinking about it.

Namaste

[eatyourdamnveggies]

It's very hard to concentrate when the guys are absolutely stunning.. heh.

[FreeYogaVideos]

Lots of Veggies is the Key . !!! :)

[jennyinwaiting]

I often find that staying in these positions for as long as the guys in the videos, after a long day university & cycling, the part(s) of my body holding my weight start to go numb and I sometimes even get pins & needles. When this happens, should I just ignore it? or take a break and relax a little in child's pose or mountain pose?

[FreeYogaVideos]

Pins and needles is a sign that some part is not working how it needs to . If in doubt take a break and relax a little in child's pose.

[juankoala]

wow this guys are so cute mmm. I should practice yoga more ofthen.

[FreeYogaVideos]

Yoga certainly keeps you healthy :)

[cspace1234nz]

Nice gentle practice for beginners in one way but in the light of the fact that most people will not be able to sit like this it seems that you are either aiming your video at people who have been practicing for some time or you don't really understand what it's like for most people when they try to sit in a simple cross-leg position. When they try to sit with a "straight back" they struggle to sit still, then the breathing too is a struggle.

Also, do you have to wax your chest to do this ?

[FreeYogaVideos]

Hi cspace1234nz

We are aiming at people whom can listen to instructions and be observant .

If you listen to the Audio it says " If you don't feel comfortable in this position Place a folded blanket under your buttocks." You can build as much height as you like which it makes attainable for most to sit in a simple cross-leg position of some sort.

If you look at the guy on the right which is me does it look like i have a waxed chest and I am doing the routine?

Keep well

Namaste

Al

[cspace1234nz]

Good answer, thanks.

I have another question.

So many of the videos and many books put emphasis on diaphragmatic breathing keeping the abdomen quite still but breathing only into the area of the lower ribs or teach breathing quite fully into the abdomen (which is really not diaphragmatic breathing at all of course) virtually bypassing the ribcage, either way, they tend to avoid breathing fully into the chest.

Not sure what my question is but would appreciate your thoughts on this.

[ThomasSGibbs]

Great, My GF asked me to look up yoga, and now she is convinced Im gay. Thanks.

[FreeYogaVideos]

Hey sounds like she needs yoga also .

[FreeYogaVideos]

Yes breathing is a pretty large ( Huge ) topic.

I have been to Pranayama workshops where the teacher has had the class do a series of chest opening exercises. So that in the supported Pranayama the Lung hits the very top of chest cavity where lung can never touch and expands the chest from the inside out. We will have a full 70 Min Pranayama class released soon U can c the first 10 mins in our channel here. I think there is more than one opposing field of opinion on breathing. Namaste

[anabob29]

hello al..what i meant was usually i get exhausted and also there is shortage of time..there is no problem with the video...so what do i do? continue from where i left or start again..i usually start again but stop almost at the same postures everyday

[FreeYogaVideos]

That should not happen. You are pushing it too hard . Take it a bit easier in the postures . Still work hard but just don't go as deep into the strecthes . Work at your own level you will build up to where we are . You should be energised at the end . Would you sprit the first 100 m of a 1500 m race ? Probably not. If you can't get to the end you should do the lying leg stretch and the relaxation.

Namaste

[EndTimeDelusion1]

pranayama fans the flames in your lower body (awakens lust). Totally the opposite of mortifying your members, as the BIble says. If you want to be overcome by your flesh, practice pranayama, and set it on fire. But the flesh profiteth nothing, as the Bible says. Better not to fan the flames of the flesh, but rather mortifty ther deeds of the flesh, and live for the Spirit instead.

[FreeYogaVideos]

EndTimeDelusion1 . Where we view the world from is what we see. In yoga as we develop, we do not excludes parts of ourselves including Sexuality . We embrace them and transcend and include them in our life so we can live with more fullness as we move through the human experience.

[EndTimeDelusion1]

i know what the yoga menu says. But Satan lied.

[nawtyjam]

i want to learn yoga... will it be better if i go to a yoga center, do some classes or just do it on my own with self-help books and instructional videos?

[FreeYogaVideos]

A teacher is always a good start . The correct yoga videos can be good to add some structure. Namaste

[jerryx2000]

do u need to be gay to do yoga or does yoga make u gay? I am confused!

[FreeYogaVideos]

I agree you are confused. The answer is neither .

Namaste

Al

[jerryx2000]

why namaste r u indian?

[FreeYogaVideos]

Hi Jerryx2000 it means the Highest part of me salutes the highest part of you . So it is cross culture . When you are into growth and development you want to be speaking to the part of the self that is growing . Not the coke drinking, burger chomping part. Hence the greeting opens that up . I finish with it to show that we are in good standing.

Namaste

Al

[jerryx2000]

why r u always mentioning my privates (highest part of you).

I eat samosas, chappatis & drink coke is it bad?

..i have been trying to do these yoga since last two days, but i cannot proceed beyond video13, warrior pose..

please advice whether i should start from the first video the next day or continue from where i left the previous day

[FreeYogaVideos]

Namaste . Do you mean you do not have the time or does the video stop ?

[Ovidiu91]

Thank you. I have never done this before, I just opened this videos and It's the best thing I did! I didnt trust yoga so far, but now after several exercises it feels so much better, both physical and spiritual.

Thank you!

[Qizalbash]

i m over weight... nd i am only 17:(

some 1 suggest me to do yoga? will it work?

like it seems so simple..

i am 70 kg:O i want to of 55

[FreeYogaVideos]

Yoga will certainly help . You first need to learn the basics. You can't Run to Lose weight before you can walk . Yoga is the same. You have to learn the basics before you can use it for cardio. What you eat is very important. Educate yourself . Getting away from Sugar and Trans Fats is a good place to start .

[Qizalbash]

thank you... but... i m confused... what to do.. does walk can help?

[cyrusfreak17]

is this anaerobic ?? sumbody answer plzz ..

[FreeYogaVideos]

This is Aerobic breathing. How you breathe can mean the difference between healing and sickness.

Poor breathing is a lot like dragging a ball and chain around that we can never release from. The human system will begin to disorganize and die after several minutes without oxygen. So it is Critical to Health and well being to learn to breathe. This clip is absolute beginners . In our members area we have a One hour beginners workshop. on Pranayama Breathing. Check the preview here

[drearey85]

I'm far from fit and overweight. I practiced the breathing exercise and it makes my back hurt.. am I not doing it right or is my posture really that bad??

[FreeYogaVideos]

Your knees need to be below your hips . So sit on what ever height you need to to make this happen. Yoga is about finding where our own limits are and start working from there.

Namaste

Al

[azakaramakar12]

if you ve never done it before - you will feel your back and other muscles after your first breathing practice. the fit and waight doesnot mattes. what matters is just your wish to continue to practice:) you should fell the results in a month or so

[thetruth786110]

Well i am not a fit guy at all... so i want to make a positive change into my life. I just wish to know what i should do in the first 2-3 months of doing yoga? I am also starting resistance training excercises. I am 19 years old. Thanks

That will be a good start it will also help you with the esistance training excercises

[jessinamercy]

Observe space would be taking in and looking at your surroundings maybe?

[DeSantos894]

what does it mean to observe the space?

[FreeYogaVideos]

It is kind of impossible to explain, as it is an experience that is beyond words that is just an idea to send you in the correct direction . Here is another idea observe the observer or place the attention on the attention itself. This may at first seem very abstract and hard to grasp in terms of practical application, but this is a workable, time-proven method for achieving this state of pure consciousness which when consistently applied and practiced are bound to yield results.

[FreeYogaVideos]

Observe the space is way of stopping distractions to temporarily suspend the breathing process by neither breathing in or out. Since breathing is intimately tied to every biological process in the body, the instinct to survive (developed over billions of years ) will interrupt the flow of attention into distractions and bring it to center on the awareness of the experience of breathing. Then resume breathing and center the attention on the breathing being practiced.

[wbiggjay]

Thank you!

Peace & Love

[wbiggjay]

Hey, I really like and appreciate what you guys are doing, but I have a question. Are we supposed to breath like this while actually practicing yoga, or is this some sort of warm-up?

If this is just a warm-up, then how should we breathe while performing yoga? Through the stomach? Through the chest?

Thank you very much for any reply!

Namaste

[FreeYogaVideos]

This is more to teach you that you can breathe to different parts of the lung . For example if you are in a strong twist for the lower belly you might only breathe mostly to the top of the lung for the in and out . Other moves you might want to let the air out of the top portion of the chest first . The main thing is to be aware of what is going on and keep the rhythm constant . Do what feels correct for the move . There are a lot of theories on breathing for different traditions.
