and send I manage to answer one more question about yoga by the way my
name is Yogini Rasa and I'm certified open yoga teacher welcome if you are new
one and I'm very happy to see you if you are returning yoga lover today we are
having the frequently asked questions and answers
I think questions are more frequently asked than the answers given for the
newbies and yoga beginners and also for some experienced Yogi's the questions
about yoga hmm the first question I get our knower again is about what is yoga
we already had a small video and s it's covered in the courses but today once
more Yoga is system of self exploration and
exploring of the universe starting with the fact that we are trying to
understand who we are because when you go to school you get all those
sophisticated subjects like math language foreign languages geography
chemistry physics physical education arts music very good things science by
the way but we kind of improve our intellect but we don't give a
possibility to explore ourselves just a little bit maybe in mutual communication
with our classmates and friends family but if they are busy and we are busy at
school then self exploration and a lot of kind of essential questions leave a
left and answered so we are doing this in yoga we exploring ourselves
understanding and exploring what else the thing that
is very important we try to do it by following two basic principles and this
is non harm principle and principle of being effective so we are trying to be
kind to ourselves and to others and we are also trying to do that in effective
manner of course for each person you would take
and ask what is yoga they would give an absolutely different answer for somebody
it's something physical for somebody it's meditation somebody else will say
that it is visualization somebody will say it's Tantra and so on and so forth
we're breathing exercises that's all correct but it's only a small portion on
the big path of yoga that you can explore so yeah so the yoga is system of
self exploration and exploring of the universe the other question that often
comes was this question what is yoga it's not one of the most often ones but
usually it's about number seven and it's asking is yoga religion no yoga is not a
religion it's neither sports it is system of self-exploration and you can
be a great follower of any religion there is you can follow no religion at
all you have you may have your own religion it has nothing to do with the
religion if you have your belief system it's wonderful keep on going out and in
the scale of this system you can still explore yourself and work on this also
yoga is not sports we all love Olympic Games but yoga is not sports the result
is not the one we are striving for this is the process
and kind of aims of understanding ourselves so this would be number seven
but we are getting back to the question number two and this is what does hata
mean usually they're asking what is the hatha yoga because about 90% of yoga
studios will offer you HOT a yoga and even fitness centers and most of the
upcoming yoga teachers the first discipline they learn is hatha yoga they
are not even learning the theory or anything else it's hot huh it's the most
simple most effective for the beginners to start and this is kind of physical
exercises with asanas and poses it's stable positions you take this also
could be hatha yoga if I would apply those two principles that I mentioned
before about being kind to yourself and being effective at the same time but the
prime thing is being kind also if we just take a look on the cut as such then
it is the two parts of this word ha and ha
they mean absolute opposites right and left day and night inhale exhale
men women tons of more yeah as well as about the first question what is yoga
and what is hata yoga and more details about them they're always on the courses
of yoga pena dot-com so if you have time and more interest this is where you go
and you learn or you read something in the description section of this video
but to make sure that you have kind of notion of of this area if it means if it
needs more explanation number three and this is very interesting question what
does um mean maybe you have heard or maybe you have already practiced the
mantra yoga or yoga sound actually this is some
something that some people kind of think that's because people sing in a religion
that's why ohm is something religious and that's why they might ask if yoga is
something religious no yoga is not religious just because we are singing
that you would go to the Opera and ask them is this a religion just because you
sing they would say no we are not the religion we are just singing because the
sound is very powerful and when we have prepared our body was the physical
exercises with breathing exercises was different mind exercises by the way one
of the answers for the what is yoga is when you stop creation of thought forms
very complicated clinician but this is also a one of the explanations so um is
the initial sound when the old universe was created and if we we will be able to
repeat choose the sound we will be able to understand what it is all about what
are we all about what is the world around us about I know it's complicated
and stepping to this area of yoga took me quite a while just because of this
fear is is it okay to do this because not always I understand what I am
chanting yeah you can also divide the UM sound in are all am sounds it's a oh um
but if you would make it shorter faster then you would get on sound so if you
just practice on your own the sound ah
then you'd get finally also to the sound on and there is interesting thing that
my colleagues and students of yoga have told me that this says amazing feeling
after practicing of the sound um it's just a simple sound and it's like you
feel like you have done something great or something great has happened to you
so a simple sound give it a try there's a lot of videos and practices to do the
sound so it's possible to try it on so but just the first kind of understanding
um is something that everything starts well and maybe this will be something
that will end with so the next question is do I have to be a vegetarian to
practice yoga yoga is not a culinary club where you'd have to come in and say
I am NOT in eating this or I'm eating this you can eat whatever you want and
it's possible that along with the practice of hatha yoga Kriya yoga mantra
yoga breathing yoga you will change some of your habits might refuse from some
snacks maybe to sugar saturated foods something else might change you might
for some time leave me to start eating meat so it depends on your climate and
everything where you are when you just start doing yoga
don't make sharp changes in your diet or lifestyle or anything else unless it's
you have decided that your entire life will be to devote it to this practice
and you are in space that allows you to kind of do this without much harm
because if we do things too fast we usually end this activity too fast and
as life yoga could be a lifelong activity
there is no rush you can be late so working with that the next question
about not being late and managing things to do how many times per week should I
practice yoga very good question again it's like was the your eating
habits it's very individual I started with one time then I moved to three
times then back to two times but like the fitness trainers and a lot of people
who are working with sports and have done some research in this area if you
want to do it something that includes the physical exercises there should be
about two times per week and the hatha yoga is the best to start but if you
have some difficulties or there are other obstacles on your way you can
switch like mantra yoga is the most simple and most effective one it's easy
to do easy to learn and then you can switch with some other exercises and
meditations and stuff like that so just not to be kind of strict on the fact
that you if you do yoga then you absolutely have to do hatha yoga and it
has to be our nine and thirty minute class and nothing else
because yeah or health condition changes sometimes we get sick sometimes we feel
high and we want to do as much as possible so okay and then the next
question also about the physical things is how is yoga different from other
kinds of fitness or for whatever or other kinds of sports yoga as you
remember it self exploration and we are exploring ourselves through the hatha
yoga or through these poses and the notion
the impact and effects comes with the practice no earlier because you can't
tell anybody how does it feel to be in love or what does it mean to raise kids
or what does it mean that you will have an argument with your loved one you kind
of understand what your mind that if somebody is angry you were tired you
should help in this situation or just keep yourself neutral but if you are a
bit angry or if you are tired or exhausted or you are completely sure
that it you are true about the stuff and not the other person then it is very
very difficult to to keep this kindness principle or if you want to have fast
results you kind of think oh I will do five times per week and then I have a
week off or something like that so yeah Yoga is different just because of these
two principles we try to be kind to ourselves and other people and we are
trying to be effective to reach all results about first and the second
principle we also have the video so check our playlist and you will find
this theoretical material the next question again about our physical
abilities I'm not flexible where I'm not that strong I'm not that thin where I
have extra weight can I do yoga any person actually can do yoga if they are
able we are willing to observe the first two principles of yoga so whenever you
are ready to do it and you wish to do it and you're working in in direction of
improvement of your life and as you start practicing you almost immediately
usually notice the the difference you become more happy happier you feel
better your health is improving your mind starts working more actively you
become more creative there are tons of things however there is this small thing
that people usually come to yoga for a different different reason somebody want
to be more beautiful lose weight get rid of back pain or look better or they just
want to go there because they are so wonderful people there they want to have
this wonderful community and those all good
those are good causes and good reasons even though yoga can give you more you
go there and usually when you or somebody else reaches the goal they
leave Yoga for something else or being busy or stuff like that that's also fine
you came you got you saw that it's working and if you might have some other
girls you might also come and see this sometime later so I think there was some
more questions and this is where do I begin where do you begin you begin with
the understanding what is yoga and you start with this practice you start with
the two times per week or one time per week or just one post one post can
sometimes be wonderful and enough to do yoga and whatever you do in your favor
it's good and if there is anything I can help there several videos shorter and
longer that you might try the exploration past together with me and I
would be very very happy finally you are looking for yoga fine
your teacher or your inspiration or your video or your a book
this will be some some exploration I guess because when you are searching for
something you not always find your best and suitable option or what the options
change with the time it's like when you choose your the film to watch tonight
you are looking ok I want a comedy or I want drama where I want something of
thriller where some blockbuster so and not always this will be the first movie
you will select and maybe you will the time you will want to switch from the
comedy to something else where you would like to watch some stand-up shows or
something of the yoga you know the history occu mentary films and it's it
would be good so what is the best time to practice now the best time to
practice is now I hope you will be able to do the starting point or you are just
switching on to to get some more interesting materials but well if you
are talking about the regular practice it's either morning's or evenings or
when you have this free time in your schedule because in the morning or mind
is still waking up and we can kind of more concentrate on our the way we feel
and we have not received a lot of messages that would disturb us from from
the practice or in the evening we are have accomplished everything and the
yoga practice would help us to ease and to relax to let it go and again to kind
of remove that excess of information or pollution that we get
during the day and from time to time you just devote to this activity more time
like during the workshops and retreats when there is more time to do it and you
are kind of in the area of the like-minded people who are just running
in the class and running away from class always being in a hurry so yeah this is
probably top 10 12 questions that I meet very often
I hope they the answers were useful by the way some time ago we published a
book it was the first book we published about what is yoga and it really
contains the basic questions about what is yoga but are the yoga principles what
is Dharma what is karma about different kinds of yoga and there explore
explaining there's also a meditation for you and how to make the best decisions
in the life so check the link to the Amazon in the description section again
and there is the also possibility to have a video on the topic like how to
publish a book any book and how to do it in the maximum effective way so doing
good to yourself and doing good to your other people and doing in an effective
way if you wish to hear my experience and how my three previous books were
published and a new one is coming then leave in the come in comment section the
line I want to know more and I will be happy to prepare you a video on this
topic and see you soon so hope you rest likes for this video so we can film some
more of this and see you soon right bye bye
