One of the basic principles of yoga says – observe your body, read the signals coming from it.
It is important to remember that each of us is different, we also have a different physical past.
The slogan we put on the poster, “Be aware and listen to what your body says,” also refers to this.
As is the case when doing exercises in the gym, there are a few repetitive guidelines in yoga.
Remember to keep your shoulder blades pulled back, shoulders lowered (not tense), spine rising and lengthening, and chest remaining “open” (lunging forward and slightly upward; of course, in positions where this is not mutually exclusive, such as the Cat pose).
We should also remember not to wrestle with our bodies – if something hurts, we should not push.
It is known that we are not immediately able to perform every twist correctly – some asanas can be “boasted” only after years of practice.
Also, tendons should be stretched slowly, regularly and gradually.
In the Follygraph poster we have included two, the most popular mudras, or hand positions (one of which is a well-known greeting and thank you among yoga practitioners).
In this way we wanted to emphasize that in yoga every part of the body has attention given to it, even the seemingly ordinary hand positions.
Whether or not we want to believe and give this an extra interpretive envelope about the healing flow of energy is an individual matter.
What we do emphasize, however, is that yoga is the practice of body awareness.
Holistic.
Yoga stretches our spine, sometimes massages, stretches tendons, strengthens muscles, and at the end of the exercise also relaxes them, as well as relaxes the whole body, and trains meditation.
In addition to the obvious benefits of physical activity, it teaches self-discipline and mindfulness.
It should not be forgotten that we “practice” yoga not only during direct exercise – we should remember it by observing how we feel the next day, how it affects our physical, mental and energetic ailments.
This mindfulness and attentiveness, by the way, can help us maintain proper diaphragmatic breathing, as well as taking care of healthy posture, avoiding unconscious tension (especially in the neck area, which is often cited as one of the causes of recurrent migraines).
Not to mention the additional values that lie with the individual – new reflections or shades in the palette of emotions that perhaps will reveal themselves to us with systematic exercise.
Some potential, something to discover, a mine of previously unseen possibilities.
