Yoga Poses
Hello everyone!
I hope you are all well. And I expect you are all enjoying reading my posts on yoga.
Jo, I hope you are well. It’s always good to see your comment. As you do pilates, it will not be much difficult for to try yoga. Infact, you can even begin with the intermediate level. The only difference between the two is that Pilates is done on the spine.
Ana Paula :) It was really good to read about Itapety Mountain and I just loved the pictures. Just like you, I also admire nature very much. The window of my room faces the east and it’s lovely to see the daybreak especially the morning star when the sun hasn’t risen yet. I almost regularly stand by the window, breath in fresh air and enjoy seeing the colours spreaded in the sky. Ah, as for the movie Kite Runner, I haven’t read the book myself I had only read about it in the newspaper. Hey, you are right that things change for better and I’m glad that we are best friends:)
Adri, the picture of Iago with friends on a rainy day reminds me of my childhood. Ahhh, me , my sisters and my cousins.. we used to play in the rain like birds and it would never be easy for our mums to get us home back….ahem..and I won’t tell you what they used to do to us then:l Thanks Adri, that you liked the link. This website is all about women and you will learn so much there.
Benka, thank you so much for your kind comments. I would say you are quite correct what you said about me and I’m a bit surprised too. I really like the way you meditate, it’s very interesting and the best meditation is the one that makes you feel better. Benka, it would be nice to know about your interests and hobbies. I’m pleased to have met such good friends:)
Tomo, I’m very pleased to see you. And, I do remember you, infact, I have never forgotten you. Do you still remember the three Haikus I had written? Well, this time again, I will write a haiku before the open blogs are closed.
Hello Pary, I’m flattered to hear that I look younger in photo. You see, it’s the magic of yoga. My family says hello to you. Yes, you are right, the field of yoga is vast and along with physical exercises there is another branch of yoga which is called ‘Panch tatva yoga (yoga for 5 elements)’ in which, we learn about how to balance the 5 elements in our boday. I will write a bit about that too.
Hello Halmey, it’s so nice to hear from you, thank you! To learn English, I will suggest you to spend some time on the BBC LE website every day, there’s so much to learn with respect to grammar, listening and so much more. And also make friends with BBC LE group on facebook. Click on the link and have a go.
Adelina, I’m glad to hear from you. Thank you!
Mahjabeen, I’m really glad to see your comment. I hope you are doing well.
Komal, I hope you won’t mind about the spelling mistakes. It’s perhaps, I didn't reread the post before posting it. By the way, your friend knows yoga then you should give it a try.
Manoj, thank you so much! I’m very pleased to read your comment. I will be pleased to bits if you could share something about yoga. There might be something which I don’t know so it would be great to hear from you. I have heard about an institute in Delhi and is said to be the oldest institute to learn yoga.
Friends, I’m posting some pitures of yoga poses at beginner’s level.It is strongly advised to all those who are completely new to yoga that do not try to attempt the poese on your own. It is best to learn them from a good yogi first and then practice. I have taken the pictures from the web.

Hi Naheed salam..Thanks for replying me...i am pleased to see your reply...ya sure why not it’s my pleasure. Here is some useful information with me which could be useful and I would like to share with you and all our friends here: The tradition of Yoga was born in India several thousand years ago. Its founders were great Saints and Sages. The great Yogis gave rational interpretation of their experiences about Yoga and brought a practically sound and scientifically prepared method within every one’s reach. Yoga philosophy is an Art and Science of living in tune with Brahmand- The Universe. Yoga has its origins in the Vedas, the oldest record of Indian culture. It was systematized by the great Indian sage Patanjali in the Yoga Sutra as a special Darshana. It has been defined as referring to "technologies or disciplines of asceticism and meditation which are thought to lead to spiritual experience and profound understanding or insight into the nature of existence.Yoga is also intimately connected to the religious beliefs and practices of the other Indian religions.although it has influenced the entire Indian religions familes.Major branches of Yoga include: Hatha Yoga, Karma Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, and Raja Yoga. The Eight Limbs of yoga practice are: 1) Yama (The five "abstentions"): nonviolence, truth, non-covetousness, chastity, and abstain from attachment to possessions. (2) Niyama (The five "observances"): purity, contentment, austerities, study, and surrender to god (3) Asana: Literally means "seat", and in Patanjali's Sutras refers to seated positions used for meditation. Later, with the rise of Hatha yoga, asana came to refer to all the "postures" (4) Pranayama ("Lengthening Prāna"): Prāna, life force, or vital energy, particularly, the breath, "āyāma", to lengthen or extend (5) Pratyahara ("Abstraction"): Withdrawal of the sense organs from external objects. (6) Dharana ("Concentration"): Fixing the attention on a single object (7) Dhyana ("Meditation"): Intense contemplation of the nature of the object of meditation (8) Samadhi ("Liberation"): merging consciousness with the object of meditation. Rest you have already mentioned, there is lots of information available on internet regarding yoga and its techniques. One more thing, I would like to aware to everyone that without proper guidance it could be harmful so I request to everyone here to pls make sure that you have sufficient knowledge about doing yoga or you should do it under proper guidance!! Well Naheedji I am happy to chat with you so keep blooging like this and keep doing yoga, I think it’s good for being healthy, isn’t it? And one more thing try to visit India once, we welcoming you though you are our neighor therefore no need to any invitation isn’t it. You are most welcome. Keep smiling Take care Byeeee Manoj Pandey
Thanks for the pictures of yoga. It's easy to understand. I remenber your haikus because I like them! I'm looking forward to hearing your haiku again and I'll show you mine again as well. Naheed, my comments often don't appear then I need to write again. If you don't see my comments that's the why you don't. Bye for now.
Hi, Naheed Its really good to read your blogs. You have mentioned those who are new in yoga they need proper guidance so can we try to these yoga poses on our own?. Also i think you have a lovely day everyday after having such a refreshing morning.:). Bye and Takecare.
Dear Naheed, I am from India and think that you are imparting nice yoga technique to make body fit. Health is wealth. A sound English reside in sound body :) Ajay
I am really happy to have come to this blog. I also practice yoga everyday since joining a club in Hong Kong last March and I have been doing it since. I love it more and more and found peace when doing the asanas and most of all I found I have changed a lot, less agitated and more tranquil. I also admired the philosophy of Yoga although I am a Christian. I love to hear more and read more about the beauty and philosophy behind this wonderful practice. Thank you for sharing
Hi. Thank you. I just start to practise yoga now. I joint a club. And most of the teaachers there speak english. somtime is really hard for me to catch the words especially when the teachers have a very strange accent.
