Yoga or Weightlifting?

 

yoga with weight

We’ve all come across a bloke or two that swear on the Bible about pumping iron and it being the epitome of fitness. Benching 240+ pounds may or may not get you all the ladies but it is sure to make every novice, in and out of the gym, come running to you with a questionnaire on your diet and training methods. But ask yourself, are you really fit or are you just muscular?

Owing to mainstream media and television, our idea of fitness has become really skewed aimed at admiring masculine figures that punch holes through walls. These same figures may walk around with a damaged ligament or are unable to touch their toes, but who cares about all that anymore.

We’re not saying only practice Yoga and weight training ought to be banned. Our sedentary lifestyles haven’t left much room for us to conduct taxing physical activities so a light weight training session 4 days a week can do you good. Having said that, pumping iron in itself isn’t nearly enough if fitness to you means more than a swole look.

Practising Yoga opens up dimensions of your body you didn’t and perhaps still don’t know exist. Sadly Yoga has become a practice people adopt as a last resort. But it’s more than just a tool. Yoga is a way of life and practicing it the right way will show what your body is truly capable of. Our bodies are filled with secrets we don’t know and are blissfully unaware of its capabilities. Unlock your physical, mental and spiritual potential with the right practice.

Yoga in the USA was first introduced by Swami Vivekananda in the great World Parliament of Religions at Chicago. In recent years with the fusion of old practice, the modern techniques of Yoga have become ubiquitous in body fit regimens. Along with the physical fitness and spiritual upliftment, Yoga is being practiced as a means of having a toned, detoxified, acne-free, wrinkle-free skin. But the most important part of yoga is to be aware of its exact steps and procedures. Otherwise, instead of getting its desired results, it may cause serious injuries. In these years, Yoga is getting popular in the USA. People are practicing different types of Yoga such as Beginner Flow Yoga, Kundalini Yoga, Pilates Yoga, Sculpt Y...

Yoga for Respiratory Detox

Image
There are a lot of working theories around what is the best way to detox our bodies. Some decide to go on a cleansing diet while some look to cardio and weight loss as a means to flush out toxins. Fact of the matter is there is no one size fits all measure. Each person has his own reasons for detoxing and accordingly must find his own way. But there are a few proven ways in Yoga that one can adopt to further along their detox process. Pranayama is the Yoga of breathing. This particular form of Yoga has been widely accepted as a means for cleansing the nasal track and the respiratory organs. There are many factors that can cause discomfort and ultimately congestion in our breathing patters and Pranayama is the ultimate defense against all of them.

Start with Kapalbhati, wherein first you hold your posture in a seated...
