Yoga will teach you breathing techniques that will prepare you for other exercises. In yoga classes, students often learn breathing techniques that help calm and focus the mind. With these techniques you will be able to breathe more fully so there will be more oxygen going to your brain and throughout the other parts of the body.
Since yoga will help you to increase flexibility, you will be able to prevent some injures when you are doing other sports or exercises. Yoga can be viewed as an entire exercise regimen focused on stretching muscles. It also helps minimize and prevent injuries because yoga encourages you to work within your limits.
The safest way to practice yoga is in the comfort of a class and with a certified instructor. Ask your teacher for some tips on how you can improve on your yoga skills and use yoga to help you become better at other sports and exercises. You should always speak with your doctor when you are starting any exercise routine.
Beads are a Bhakti Yoga and Buddhist tool of meditation. They are moved in rhythm with the breath and mantra of the meditation. The action of moving the beads keeps sleep and distraction at bay and incorporates the whole body in a meditation. Each time the mantra is repeated, the fingers move to the next bead. The mala is meant to focus the mind and promote clear thought about the meaning of the mantra as it is chanted. Schools of thought, from India, to Tibet, to China recommend different ways of holding and counting Mala beads. However, each meditation should encompass the full cycle of beads. Longer meditations should include additional full cycles, starting at the summit and circling around again to the beginning. Reorient offers sandalwood Mala beads from Guangdong province in China. Each string has 108 beads.
