The Benefits Of London Yoga Classes

By Marissa Velazquez


There are many advantages that you can get from participating in London yoga classes. If you push it to the extreme, you can derive a high-level of spirituality and embrace your new-found way of life. Essentially, you can either use the discipline for spiritual or physical purposes, or even 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.

These types of exercises are highly popular and rising in popularity in the Western culture. There are many names and forms of these discipline; asana. Asana includes a wide variety of positions that can be incorporated in your daily routines.

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.

There are various techniques you would do such as combining a mix of breathing and stretching methods that are coupled with strength training and calisthenics. It would not be unusual if your sexual libido increases. As you may gather, the discipline is much more than an exercise.

You would take a holistic approach in the viewpoint of your spirit, life energy, body, mind, and soul. There are many types of schools, and not all would be the appropriate fit for you and your needs. Most schools are unique from each other, and each teacher may have a different viewpoint on how they implement their teachings. There may be many different variations, but they mostly depend on the teacher.

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 popular and is quite fast paced. It could be considered as an intensive aerobic exercise that focuses on quick and smooth transitions from pose to pose. Kundalini focuses on awakening and focusing energy. Some people believe that this energy is represented as a dormant coiled snake from within.

Mantra calms the spirit, mind, soul, and body through the power of words and sounds. Mantra is commonly used when a person uses the OM chant through meditation. Tantra is a sexual exercise, which is much akin to the kundalini exercise. While you may be overwhelmed with the large variety of choices in London yoga classes, it is up to you to find the right teacher and discipline.
