Šta je Joga?

Dobrobiti Joge

Yoga is an ancient science, nowadays widely recognised and recommended also by the mainstream Western medicine. It consists of a series of practices that help person experience a more harmonious and balanced state of existence. It is commonly said in other words that it helps a person recognise her/his true nature. These practices consist of physical postures, breathing techniques, meditation, study of ancient theories, applying the principles of yoga and self-study in daily life.

Throughout the world people of all nationalities, origin or religion, practice yoga to feel joy, freedom and love. Most people come to yoga to deal with very specific problems – stress, depression, lower back pain, respiratory problems, problems related to digestion, or problems with the nervous system.

Many of them retain regular practice even after they have dealt with the particular problem, because they notice that yoga improves not only their health condition, but also brings a radical change in their general mood and attitude towards life. Some people, through yoga, even find a whole new meaning in life.

This happens because yoga is a method of inner exploration, which recognises the interdependence of the body and the mind and brings harmony to all human levels - physical, mental-emotional, spiritual.

We observe the mind, shedding the light of awareness on our feeling and thinking patterns which trigger various reactions. When we do not condemn or judge our reactions, we are exercising neutral witnessing and acceptance, and allowing the feeling of love towards the self and others to grow.
