BE ALIVE IN THE FIRE OF YOGA.

BE ALIVE IN THE FIRE OF YOGA.
By NETHRA VIJAYAKUMAR

“Yogas chitta vritti nirodha” (“Yoga is the neutralization of the vortices of feeling.”)
The term "yoga" comes from a Sanskrit word meaning "union." Yoga combines physical exercises, mental meditation, and breathing techniques to strengthen the muscles and relieve stress.

The five points of yoga
The system of yoga is a simple and natural programme involving five main principles
  • Proper Exercise – asanas
  • Proper Breathing – pranayama
  • Proper Relaxation – savasana
  • Proper Diet – sattvic
  • Proper Thinking and Meditation – vedanta and dhyana.
Yoga is a life of self-discipline based on the tents of ‘simple living and high thinking' by Swami Vishnudevananda.

Aim of yoga
The aim of all yoga practice is to achieve truth. Beyond the ever changing consciousness of mind and intellect, there is a changeless, formless spirit which is unaffected by anything and which is veiled in the individual according to his/her stage of evolution.

The Benefits of Practicing Yoga
The benefits of yoga are almost endless! Practicing yoga helps build healthy virtues and good values, such as discipline, honesty, devotion, self-inquiry, mindfulness, and non-attachment. Yoga empowers you to make conscious choices toward living a more healthy and fulfilling life. Yoga also helps you:
       • Improve and maintain the health of muscles, joints, and organs
       • Improve flexibility, strength, stamina, mobility, range of motion, and balance
       • Keep your mind healthy and strong
       • Reduce stress and promote relaxation
       • Get a better night’s sleep
       • Boost your immune system
       • Prevent conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and auto-immune disorders
       • Help heal common aches like back pain
       • Increase happiness and well being and reduce depression

On a physical level, yoga helps improve flexibility, strength, balance, and endurance and on a psychological level, yoga can help you cultivate mindfulness as you shift your awareness to the sensations, thoughts, and emotions that accompany a given pose or exercise.

Yoga is accessible for just about everyone. 

The best way to know if yoga is for you is to give it a try!

Happy International Yoga day

The truth about Fats

TRUTH ABOUT FAT By NETHRA VIJAYAKUMAR DIETARY FAT Fat is a type of nutrient, and just like protein and carbohydrates, your body needs some fat for energy, to absorb vitamins, and to protect your heart and brain health.  Dietary fat and cholesterol Dietary fat also plays a major role in your cholesterol levels. Cholesterol is a fatty, wax-like substance that your body needs to function properly. In and of itself, cholesterol isn’t bad. But when you get too much of it, it can have a negative impact on your health. As with dietary fat, there are good and bad types of cholesterol.          • HDL cholesterol is the “ good ” kind of cholesterol found in your blood.          • LDL cholesterol is the “ bad ” kind.          • The key is to keep LDL levels low and HDL high, which may protect against heart disease and stroke.          • Conversely, high levels of LDL cholesterol can clog arteries and low HDL can be a marker for increased cardiovascular risk.

Create healthy habits, not restrictions

CREATE HEALTHY HABITS, NOT RESTRICTIONS By NETHRA VIJAYAKUMAR Body weight control is much more successful if you can combine a well balanced diet with a healthy lifestyle. Crash diets may have positive short term results, but they tend to have poor long term success rates. As a Dietitian, it’s hard for me to counsel on weight loss. This may sound odd, but it’s the truth. I may be able to educate you on how to eat healthy, apart from diet the person may also be facing many other issues, that contribute to their struggle with weight loss – work pressure, financial issues, relationship struggles etc., And until one is able to find a way to deal with these life stressors, struggles with weight will continue to persist.  So while counseling, each person it taken into consideration and would see where the changes can be made in their lifestyle. I believe that, these small changes will add up to big results. I might suggest a lot of ideas to them of where the changes might need to
