Natural Health and Yoga:

The yoga aim is to help and teach the person to take care of him / herself in order to overcome disease or to maintain the actual health status.

For this the yoga does serve as a vehicle in which the person is coming closer to the nature.

Those are the yoga instruments to help us coming closer to the nature:

1 Corporal heating and preparation through stretching and soft exercises.

2 Breathing exercises: to be aware of it and to exercise the different respiratory forms and rhythmic regulation of the breathing.

3 Asanas or postures: an asana is the specific form of yoga and consists in the adoption of a corporal posture during a certain lapse of time, with the attention (concentration) directed towards a determined somatic zone and in peacefulness, under a certain form and respiratory rhythm, which is peculiar to each asana.

The asana or posture works according to the basic movements of the spine:

1 Postures.

2 Counterpostures.

3 Complementary postures.

For their immobility and passivity the asana exercise benefit the muscular, circulatory, respiratory and endocrine system as well as the improvement of the homeostasis.

4 Conscious relaxation between the different postures and at the end of the asana according to the traditional techniques.

5 Concentration: development of the corporal attention for the precocious detection of possible imbalances.

6 Some little more dynamic exercises (i. e. Sun Salutation) in order to maintain the blood circulation, muscular tone and strength.

As our sensibility increases with practice our life is becoming more cautious and observant. It is in the quietness of our inside where we find the soft call of the nature.
