RE: Total Team Reps +3,389 (new max) = 83,674! The Steemit Daily 100+ Rep Fitness Challenge - Day # 51 - 1/26/18
I would like to practice more yoga, I did it for about a year but lately have been finding it hard to fit the time for it in to my busy schedule.
Maybe I should incorperate a yoga day into my gym routine
Yoga asanas would fit into the category of stretching which Steemmatt mentions. There are many schools of how to perform asanas. Some like to strain. I follow the no strain - go into the position and hold it for maybe 10 or 15 seconds - relax into the position with the mind's attention on it. You'll find the tightness in the body starts to relax and you become looser over time.
P.S. Meditation is also a branch of "Yoga" as are the asanas (positions) and pranayama (breathing exercises). Cheers.
Yeah I was doing ashtanga I think it was called, still remember all the stretches.
I did notice over the year I was doing it my flexibility improved quite a bit, I will probably start doing it once or twice a week in the evening before bed.
Ashtanga yoga is very popular. If you can continue at home then why not. I am not an expert on asanas but have taken classes in them. I am though a teacher of Transcendental Meditation and feel very expert on that.
