50 Things to Know

Book Series

Reviews from Readers

I recently downloaded a couple of books from this series to read over the weekend thinking I would read just one or two. However, I so loved the books that I read all the six books I had downloaded in one go and ended up downloading a few more today. Written by different authors, the books offer practical advice on how you can perform or achieve certain goals in life, which in this case is how to have a better life.
The information is simple to digest and learn from, and is incredibly useful. There are also resources listed at the end of the book that you can use to get more information.

I really enjoyed the voice of the narrator, she speaks in a soothing tone. The book is a really great reminder of things we might have known we could do during stressful times, but forgot over the years.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

INTRODUCTION

The nature of yoga is to shine the light of awareness into the darkest corners of the body.

Jason Crandell

Practicing yoga makes your body, mind and soul feel healthier. For starters, yoga helps to treat stress, anxiety, depression, headache, carpal tunnel syndrome, high and low blood pressure, arthritis, back pain, asthma, diabetes, heart problems and other diseases. It also helps to tone your muscles and reduce body fat. It increases your flexibility and stamina, enhances your blood circulation and strengthens your immune system. In a nutshell, yoga makes you feel better about yourself, boosts your self-esteem and teaches you to be confident in your own skin.

But this is just the beginning. The actual purpose of yoga lies deeper. Yoga is essentially a Sanskrit term. It originates from the root word yuj which means to join. According to yogis, yoga was developed to connect the human body with the human mind and spirit. The last stage of yoga is enlightenment, attaining Moksha or liberation from the cycle of birth and death and becoming one with the divine consciousness. Its a journey that brings about inner peace and connects us with our surroundings. This is the reason why many yoga asanas take inspiration from the members of the plant or animal kingdom.

Yoga is thus a way of life. It leads you on a path of honesty and makes you a humble person. It teaches you to be in control of yourself. The best part about yoga is that it gives you the freedom to choose. So if youre someone who only wants to focus on physical well-being, youre totally allowed to do that. You can go about practicing your daily yoga routine without even bothering about the spiritual aspect of yoga and nobody will stop you. For whatever reason you decide to do yoga, yoga will definitely make you feel good about yourself.

Lets Start With The Basics!

Now, that youre ready to begin your yoga journey, you must be wondering what all things youll need to attend your yoga classes and if there are certain rules/norms that you must follow. Yes, there are; but theyre also very doable!

Whether you join a yoga course at a yoga studio or decide to hire a personal yoga instructor, follow these few basic tips. By using this knowledge, youll feel even more confident about your decision and will be fully prepared to attend any yoga class.

1. Choosing The Right Clothes For Yoga

Clothes form an important aspect of our lives. Right clothes make us feel in-charge.

Your clothes should be such that they complement your activities. When choosing your yoga outfit, always go for the comfortable and slightly loose ones. Since yoga involves a ton of bending and stretching moves, wearing loose-fitting outfits will allow all your joints, and thus your entire body to move freely and easily. Trust me, this comes in very handy. Wearing loose-fitting, breathable clothes will ensure that there is proper air circulation throughout the body while working out.
