Yoga practice guide

Posing is not the only yoga.

Yoga is the practice of practicing each and every one of your daily lives as “yoga as a way of life” and improving bad habits.

Yoga in class is to do poses, but the point is to do it “between pain and pleasure” without doing “muri waste”.

It’s a health method that anyone of any age can start right away without being obsessed with advanced techniques and tools.

Physical reactions and phenomena after doing yoga

By posing, joints and muscles that are not used daily are moved, so various fields of the brain are stimulated and vitality is awakened.

By concentrating on breathing, you can create various “awareness” in your body, mind, and consciousness, so you can acquire positive thinking, patience, action, and stability, and take a positive view of your life.

Let’s continue without rushing. It’s important to take a break if you’re worried, but feel happy inside your body.
