The cult of healthy lifestyle is becoming increasingly popular in various circles of society. Diet, different sports have become an effective opposition to crazy urban rhythm and stress. Thereupon, yoga has become extremely popular, having pushed fitness from a leadership position to the second place.
In many cities around the world, gradually multiple beautiful, modern and comfortable yoga studios begun opening one after another instead of semi-basement yoga-rooms. Famous designers started including clothes for yoga into their collections, many major brands use the image of yoga in their campaigns. All this has happened so quickly that the person who is going to do yoga, can get lost in the number of proposals, names of schools, techniques, methods, directions widely mentioned in the world web: Hatha Yoga, Ayengara Yoga, Ashtanga Yoga, Kundalini Yoga, Yoga-23, Tri-Yoga.
To assist a person, there are multiple print media: the shelves of book stores are literally overwhelmed with guides for yoga, biographies of world celebrities who have become adepts of Yoga, the great guru of yoga.
Most of those who starts training today consider yoga a miraculous cure for all ailments. And no matter how they are indignant at simplified approach to this ancient practice, being systematized as far back as in the V century B.C. by Indian wise man Patanjali, the statistics is implacable - Yoga is in great demand today, because this is not only more sparing than the fitness with its training apparatuses, but in practice, is very useful to the body.
Scientists confirms the fact that yoga is also a cure. One of the miracles of yoga is a wonderful cold endurance of adherents of one of the most secretive Tibetan practices - Thummo. The adherents of Thummo Yoga can even dry a wet sheet on the nude body at temperature below 20 degrees. The science explains that in fact the warm-blooded organisms are able to produce an unlimited quantity of heat on the cold by burning fat in the lungs. So, we can breathe in the sharp frost, instantly warming the air. Targeted at developing this ability one can achieve a phenomenal cold endurance, what the Tibetan yogis do.
The question of what yoga to choose is far from idle. Today, the most popular directions are Ayengara yoga and Ashtanga yoga. Ayengara is good because it suits everyone. There are no restrictions on age and physical training. It is static and is based on a proper construction of asanas. In Ashtanga yoga the asanas are performed in a dynamic sequence and synchronized with breathing. It focuses on the young and physically trained.
Even if you are doing a very gentle yoga, there are still some constraints related to health. By the way, a guarantee that you has come doing yoga to the right place is the mandatory division into groups by the level of complexity. But even if you are in the initial group, it does not mean that training will be very easy for you. Typically, at the first level the asanas are physically harder than at the next one, but they are not dangerous. Conversely, in the more advanced yoga the asanas may seem to be too easy, but one can begin only when the body is ready for this. In addition, many centers have special therapeutic classes: for pregnant women, for example, or for people who have problems with the spine.
Recently, Kundalini yoga is getting more and more fans. This is a complicated technology, that goes beyond the boundaries of the body on a mental level. Dynamic and static asanas in Kundalini yoga are accompanied by breathing techniques, meditation and singing of mantras, affecting not only the body but also the consciousness. It is believed that during the Kundalini-yoga classes, a powerful ejection of endorphine - hormone of happiness - occurs. Endorphine is not produced with simple physical exercises, it is allocated only when they are accompanied by internal concentration and specific respiration.
However, whatever yoga you do, a positive charge is provided to you. Nobody will deny that a healthy spirit is in a healthy body.

Yoga for Pregnant
As many intelligent people say, using gestation to lose flesh by training is the same as to put oral contraceptives off. There is proper time and place to everything in the world. Unripe apple is tasteless; the overripe or rotten one is tasteless too. Only ripe and timely plucked apple is tasty and good.
Exercises during the pregnancy is aimed to quite another things in comparison with other trainings in public groups.
Purpose number one of your public trainings is health of YOUR body and sometimes – of YOUR mind. Purpose number one during the pregnancy – be this yoga or any other technique – is health of body and mind of YOUR CHILD.
You have had and will have all your life to train your body, while your child has only 9 months. Even not 9 but 6 months, because it's recommended to start physical training since the first trimester of pregnancy. And even not 6 but 5, because a woman will hardly do any exercises during the 9th month.
Only five months!
You could have a question then – Is it necessary to engage in yoga for pregnancy at all? May be it'd be better to sleep more or to work to keep your career during this period?
The answer is simple. If you wanted this child with all your heart, and you are expecting his coming as the greatest gift from unknown benefactor, good gift, which lays the greatest responsibility on you, inexplicably necessary for you as an air – then you will be glad to have these 5 months to work with your baby, and those 5 minutes when hearing and listening to doctors, straining and relaxing your body, you calmly and confidently will bring to this world that one who will help you become adult...
Five long months! :)
Let's clarify the purpose of yoga group for pregnant or pre-natal (antenatal) training? What is meant "to be ready for childbirth"? An interesting thing that you must do nothing to make your body ready for delivery. That's it. Nothing. Everything happens absolutely normal and in itself, without your interested participation.
Do you control the process of pre-natal fetation? I mean, can you control the process, influence on it in some way? Slow down, speed up, direct to another way, stop it? No. You can just watch. Or interrupt it roughly. Watch how your body is changing. How your mood is changing. Your perception. Health.
That's why, when it's time to deliver, your body will be ready to give the birth to a child, and no one can prepare it better by any exercises.
So, why then you need yoga for pregnant?
For very simple reasons. Pregnancy and childbirth are absolutely natural processes. But it's a test for your body. Nature does everything for you to pass this test. But to help yourself is always good.
A rare woman who conceives is completely healthy nowadays. At least at the level of her body. It's normal when there are some moderate physical activities in the life of individual. This is normal. This is good. But we used to look at people developing their bodies either as at sportsmen making money on this, or strangers who have time and money for such an eccentricity.
Doing physical and respiratory yoga exercises during your pregnancy and after delivery will allow you to less suffer from pain in your spine – the centre of gravity of your body shifts forward after all, the spinal muscles strain themselves more than usual. More open and worked over pelvis will allow having less painful delivery. Being familiar with respiratory exercises will allow you not to lose your consciousness and suffocate during the parturition, when the body breathes rather strongly. Regular presence of certain discomfort feeling in your body while doing this or that exercises will allow you to be ready for psychological pain, if any will occur. You will not be in panic. You will hear your doctors, their instructions, and be able to perform them.
Choosing yoga you help yourself.
