  1. wow.

  2. It´s just a selection of various asanas from different series.

  3. That’s exactly what’s wrong with this video. Yoga is not a sport. It helps you improve life in all aspects and ultimately it is a spiritual discipline. It’s goal goes beyond physical and social to the discovering of the true self nature. In conclusion, it’s good to do it almost any way (on the condition that you don’t cripple yourself by forcing yourself) and best to find a real yoga teacher that is capable of guiding you through the windings of the spiritual path.

  4. the leg behind the back must be a treasure in the sack.

  5. amazing!!! lots of practice!!!

  6. does anyone know what series that is? could that be 4th?

  7. @qix1t No. It’s not about how well you do each pose. Everyones body and commitment is different. It is about getting in touch with awareness of your inner spiritual qualities. One first step can be through getting in touch with the midn/body connection.
    Flexibility can improve very quickly with practice, and it’s fun.

  8. @moonbeam90 That’s called ujaya breathing. The sound is made in the throat. It is deliberate and controlled and part of the practice.

  9. Wow! Absolutely inspired now!

  10. Hi dynastychick3! I read in this post that you have knee problems but that the pain went away with yoga. I have Chondromalacia Patella (Patellofemoral Syndrome) and I was wondering if that was your problem too. I´ve been looking for physical activities that wouldn´t hurt my knees and I was afraid yoga couldn´t be one of them. May I ask you what kind of yoga are you doing? Thank you very much!

  11. It’s actually improved my strength in both my arms, legs and abs for sure. You can do poses that focus on strength and they work, trust me!

  12. I’m a runner who was had knee issues that would prevent me from running at times. Yoga has completely eliminated any knee pain. It’s miraculous.

  13. it’s pretty much good for everything. I even find regular everyday walking gets a benefit when you realize how just a tiny change in how you engage certain muscles in your core affects your balance/posture.
    I also go to the gym and the focus on breathing helps alot. Also, using the locks helps you protect the lower back in certain heavy lifts..

  14. For those who are attached to this bodily machine, the yoga system is recommended. One who is overly attached to the bodily conception is taught to concentrate the mind by some physical gymnastics. Thus in haṭha-yoga one undergoes various physical disciplines, but the real purpose is to understand Viṣṇu, the Supreme. The various yoga systems are given for the machine of the body, but the process of bhakti is transcendental to mechanical arrangements.

  15. yes i started doing ashtanga yoga for jujutsu and boxing its helped me out a lot i think everyone no moatter what you do should do yoga

  16. What do you mean? Are you saying he doesn’t look strong och agile to you lol

  17. i have a question: any of you does yoga, what kind of sports do you do besides that?

    i mean, i’d like to know what is yoga good for?

    anyone care sharing?

    thanks in advance for any responses, i’m really curious and eager to know;). thnxs.

  18. slowmotion gymnastics:PP the dark side though, that no tricks and jumps in yoga. that’s why i don’t like it, it doesnt give you strength or movement. i think it’s a waste of time. …or maybe my body isnt just made for this kind of thing?

  19. Cool video, although its not even near as this one i found, check it out!
