At this point
let’s break down the major components of a typical Hatha Yoga session
and see how each one will enable you to reach your goals. There are nine main styles of Yoga in India
but most of the popular styles
outside of India
are variations of Hatha Yoga. Hatha Yoga classes tend
among other things
to emphasize physical mastery.

Asanas are the physical postures
but depending upon the class
the postures may be held for different durations
such as: A half breath (an exhale or inhale)
a few breaths
or a few minutes. Some classes are very active
with flowing movement
heated studios up to 105 degrees Fahrenheit
and others are tranquil at around 70 degrees Fahrenheit
all year long.

So there is a style of Yoga for every person
and you should be aware of what you are getting into before you start. You should also be aware that the doors are not locked
and if 105 degrees is too much heat
it is your call.

This past summer
in Arizona
a number of people died
due to excessive heat. If your body temperature reaches 105 degrees
you could possibly have heat stroke. What is your natural climate like? Please know your temperature tolerance and know that people are different.

The Yoga postures release tension throughout your body
regardless of which style you choose. The added surge of endorphins
as a result of this exercise
is another benefit.

Pranayama
sometimes called the Yogic science of breathing
is cultivation of air - our most vital resource. Therefore
you can increase the amount of oxygen in your bloodstream without classic calisthenics
but when you combine it with the postures; you have a very powerful combination for stress relief.

Meditation is known for its stress management
focused concentration
and conscious relaxation benefits. In fact
there are so many meditation benefits
that after more than 2
0
studies
scientists still research for more.

How will all this help you achieve your goals? Simple: Once you are armed with the ability to relieve yourself from the burdens of stress
negative obstacles
and needless worrying
you then have the ability to prioritize and learn from your mistakes.

If you make a mistake
so does everyone else. Nobody is keeping track of your mistakes
except you. Everyone wants to be recognized
so grab every opportunity you can. Make sure you don’t forget to write your goals down and review them often. You will see them come to pass.
