@jitendratadepalli There is no WHEN in yoga. There is only NOW. The body is just a tool. The goal is peace of mind. They key is to accept reality as it is, not as we would like it to be. Physical flexibility wont guarantee happiness. What to do? Do what feels right. Listen to your body. It knows much more than you do.
@khayassine If you want it to be difficult it will be difficult. If you want it to be easy it will be easy. You are you and don't need to be anyone else. You don't need to compare or judge. Yoga is not a competition - neither with others or with yourself.
@shananananonpk Stop struggling and just be. In yoga resistance is never the key. Goal are only useful because they give us a direction to go. Where you are NOW is much much, more important than where you want to be.
@cheeseygymnast No frowns. The difference is in the mind and the aims. Contortion stops at the body. Yoga starts with the mind, then goes beyond that. Flexibility and happiness are not inextricably linked.
The difference is in the intention and the aims. Contortionism is an end in itself, whereas in yoga the body is merely used as a means to gain mastery over the mind. Each yoga asana (posture) channels the prana (vital energy) in very specific ways. The goal in yoga is the evolution of consciousness. The goal of contortionism is mere entertainment.
I started stretching when i was 18 and became interested contortion when I was 19, only 3 months ago, and is yoga any different other than the extremities of the stretches contortionists do? Everyday 24/7 I mostly concentrated on frontbending, backbending, lots of bridges, oversplitting, and chest-stands everyday. The pose that seems to frustrate me the most is the side split. I have been working on this for almost a year, but it is always about several inches from the horizontal. Know why?
wow, absolutely amazed by the limitless possibilities you can bring your body to! i've done some yoga myself in malaysia and it was a very mind-easing and calming experience. terima kasih for the video!
hello nytryder2k1, it depends on whether you just want to do some exercises for fitness or you want to go deeper into spiritual practice. If just for fitness, then any style in the yoga clubs will do. But if you are interested in the spiritual side of yoga, then you have to look for traditional yoga. There are many traditional yoga schools as well, it depends on your karma that will lead you to which school and which suit your temperement. Good luck.
Are these types of advanced yoga moves attainable by the average person? I am not very flexible, but if I work at in everyday could I some day do these moves? I see alot of asians doing yoga, are there bodies different, is it easier for them?
i would say, that the best you can hop 1:22 and maybe 2:112:37. You're right to a certain extent that body type does play role in where your centre of gravity is but honestly, if you've never even done exercises or that remotely resemble any of these poses!!! DO NOT ATTEMPT THEM...or you will end up in an emergency room. People who can do inversions have trained for years.
You're 22 years old according to your profile, so young enough that if you practice regularly you would become agile and strong enough to perform any of these poses. But whether you can or not is not the point - its the hours of self discovery that you put in getting there. Yoga is a path, not a goal. Traditionally Asians squat and sit on the floor a lot more than westerners, so they don't tighten up the same way as westerners do. As for headstand - it's all in the mind - it's not so difficult.
@kwebbel2345 Start at the beginning. listen to your body - respect your body. Pain is not gain - pain is a warning signal from your body that you risk damaging your body. Listen to your body.
