The Yoga Self Training is a self care method centred in bringing the person near to the healing influence of nature. This is the essence of the very yoga as was described by the ancient texts.

The Yoga Self Training maybe one of the best ways to look after oneīs health and very useful for the modern citizen.

As one of the topics of imparted course says: "probably the self care is the very root of all the medicine sciences".

The healing influence and proximity with Nature is also yoga. From the old times until now people tried to take advantage of the gifts offered by Nature in order to care for themselves: water, light, earth and clean air.

The yoga and the Allopathic Medicine are not contradictory but necessarily complementary in most the caring processes. It is better to know all the instruments that we have at our disposition in order to use one or another.

MORE ETIOLOGIC THAN SYMPTOMATIC. Yoga is characterized by being "more etiologic than symptomatic". Attempting to apply care to the very root of the problems, although also has methods for the symptoms. If we suffer from headache, we will attempt first to see where is the cause (our stress for example), and we will search for methods in order to manage it.

The question is not to change the "magic pill" for the "magic yoga ". As if something is curing me from the outside and I do not change my way to ineract with life. The yoga is more educational than interventionist.

We should remember that many WHO documents do speak about prevention, health promotion, self care, and promotion of healthy life stiles... yoga is also that. Precisely, the health foundations is, to our understanding: "a healthy diet, aerobic exercise, proper rest, relaxation, adequate breathing, as well as hydratation, all of it having a very important paper in the life style and being very simple and economic instruments.

The yoga training reduces the physical interferences, bringing us near to a state of body equilibrium.

The yoga training is not competitive. Do avoid to compare yourself with the other near to you neither compete with yourself.

The instructions that yoga gives to us are not commands but suggestions.

If at any moment you can not follow it, them don't be under an obligation to go further and out of your limit, in order to avoid injuries.

During the practice of yoga one should not force the posture neither the breathing.

If you feel that you couldnīt perform some posture, then better don't do it now and wait for the right moment in future.

The correct practice of yoga combines postures whose movements are complementary one with the other.

Look for a clean, silent and pleasant place in order to do your regular practices.

The ideal practice of yoga is carried out in an individual way, although the group is used as great aid in the process of the learning.

The most appropriate time for to practice yoga exercises it is the earliest hour possible.

Dress ample, comfortable and pleasant clothes (if possible of natural fibre, like for example cotton).

Avoid using tight belts or other garments that may press your body.

Try to avoid doing yoga with a full stomach. Allow to pass enough time after the foods.

The appreciable benefit that came out from the practice of yoga needs long time, regularity in the practice and continuity. Don't step up the intensity, the rapid advance, but the regular and continued progression.

At the beginning it is not easy to subject oneself to yoga discipline. Thatīs why some people feel incapable and they get discouraged. Do what you can and be satisfied with it.

It exists in the market hundred of books about yoga. But not by the act of reading many books one knows oneself and yoga. To do this can increase confusion, a mental state that the practice of yoga tries precisely to avoid. Quitting over reading and beginning to practice everyday is the way.

Yoga teaches to each practitioner to be his own teacher through self imposed discipline.

It is necessary to have a clear methodology of study. The basic yoga tool is the corporal work.

Itīs suitable to put attention at the introduction of the practice. Yoga should begin with a moment of calm and quietness.

The aim of the practices is the stability, the health and the body llightness.

Yoga and sport exercises are two different things.

At the beginning the dynamic phase of the exercises prevails over the static phase.

The easiest postures are done at the beginning and they are used as preparation for other more difficult ones.

The cleansing actions (kriyas) are done in order to clean the body. They are necessary when there is any imbalance.

We will know that our practice is correct and is well done, when at the end weīll have a sensation of freshness and calm.

The relationship between the one who teaches and the one who is learning yoga should be sincere and open. You may question all the doubts that you have clearly. Be communicative.

Before, in between and after the practice just observe your blood pressure, your pulse, your respiration; observe how you feel your body, not always, but do this for few days and you will understand something.

The practice should be regular (daily, with rests in between) and without committing excesses.

Is not suitable to exaggerate the practice in duration nor in frequency, although is sure that more yoga makes you more healthy, we also know a person that have ruined his health by carrying out incorrect practices. Please do not be of those who search for "magic remedies" that some texts promise, often writing by somebody who doesn't practice the things which advises.

Yoga is not miraculous but a scientific discipline.

The aim of yoga consists in improving the whole man and not only a particular part. It proposes the physical and mental development of the individual, developing the forces that are already inside of us, because a person with a serene mind is able to confront the life in a more healthful way. The yoga is a method of practical exercises, whose objective is the correct operation of all the systems that compose the human organism.

The process of change suggested by yoga methodology is gradual and based on education and self training, in a learning process that parts from oneīs own experience and regular maintenance of practice. Traditionally it has been considered that the theoretical study of yoga separated from the practice has very little utility. We need physical control in order to adapt better, learn to breathe and to control exaggerated reactions. These techniques taken from the tradition of the classical yoga, integrate all these aspects in a discipline, like an everyday practice or routine based in the human physiology.
