Some believe that it is a set of physical exercises, others that it is only a mental discipline, others believe that in classes we just sit and breathe, and there are also those who believe that yoga is practised only by rubber people who perform all kinds of stunts in classes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The truth is somewhere in all that, yoga is considered the entire system and practice that brings a person to a better, higher quality and healthier psycho-physical state. In its application, it uses the so-called physical exercises, asanas, breathing techniques known as pranayama, relaxation techniques, concentration techniques and meditation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Yoga also includes techniques for cleansing the body and learning about the principles of living that help us maintain harmony and vitality.<br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-949\" src=\"http:\/\/tikiyoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/sta-je-joga.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tikiyoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/sta-je-joga.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/tikiyoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/sta-je-joga-500x234.jpg 500w, https:\/\/tikiyoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/sta-je-joga-800x375.jpg 800w, https:\/\/tikiyoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/sta-je-joga-300x141.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tikiyoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/sta-je-joga-1024x480.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tikiyoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/sta-je-joga-768x360.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tikiyoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/sta-je-joga-1536x720.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; bg_type=&#8221;bg_color&#8221; bg_color_value=&#8221;rgba(145,137,52,0.06)&#8221;][vc_column][vc_empty_space]<div class=\"smile_icon_list_wrap ult_info_list_container ult-adjust-bottom-margin  \"><ul class=\"smile_icon_list left square with_bg\"><li class=\"icon_list_item\" style=\" font-size:39px;\"><div class=\"icon_list_icon\" data-animation=\"\" data-animation-delay=\"03\" style=\"font-size:13px;border-width:1px;border-style:none;background:rgba(255,255,255,0.01);color:#333333;border-color:#333333;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"list-img-icon\" alt=\"null\" src=\"https:\/\/tikiyoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/zeleni-cvet-png-1.png\"\/><\/div><div class=\"icon_description\" id=\"Info-list-wrap-1305\" style=\"font-size:13px;\"><h3 class=\"ult-responsive info-list-heading\"  data-ultimate-target='#Info-list-wrap-1305 h3'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"desktop:22px;\",\"line-height\":\"desktop:35px;\"}'  style=\"\"><\/p>\n<h2>When was yoga created?<\/h2>\n<p><\/h3><div class=\"icon_description_text ult-responsive\"  data-ultimate-target='#Info-list-wrap-1305 .icon_description_text'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"desktop:18px;\",\"line-height\":\"desktop:22px;\"}'  style=\"\"><div class=\"gap\" style=\"line-height: 10px; height: 10px;\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We can find the first texts about yoga in the Vedic scriptures.

We are aware that when people do not understand something, they develop a negative attitude and fear. Yoga is not, nor has it ever been, a religious practice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was created in the area of \u200b\u200bIndia, which is really a different culture compared to the Western one. In its tradition, it uses one of the oldest languages \u200b\u200bcalled, Sanskrit. Many writings from that era are full of myths and legends, as well as practical instructions given by teachers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Different styles of yoga offer a different approaches. In some approaches, emphasis is placed on chanting as a way to restore health, but some styles are generally accepted, medically validated and practised around the world.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The most famous style of yoga is Hatha, which has restored health to millions of people. Then Iyengar yoga &#8211; a style that uses props to correct body deformities and establish general vitality, but also many others such as Ashtanga yoga, or somewhat more modern styles of Power and Fitness yoga that combine several styles of exercise, and the result is very flexible, muscular body and increased body resistance.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"icon_list_connector\"  style=\"border-right-width: 1px;border-right-style: dashed;border-color: #ffffff;\"><\/div><\/li><li class=\"icon_list_item\" style=\" font-size:39px;\"><div class=\"icon_list_icon\" data-animation=\"\" data-animation-delay=\"03\" style=\"font-size:13px;border-width:1px;border-style:none;background:rgba(255,255,255,0.01);color:#333333;border-color:#333333;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"list-img-icon\" alt=\"null\" src=\"https:\/\/tikiyoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/zeleni-cvet-png-1.png\"\/><\/div><div class=\"icon_description\" id=\"Info-list-wrap-1473\" style=\"font-size:13px;\"><h3 class=\"ult-responsive info-list-heading\"  data-ultimate-target='#Info-list-wrap-1473 h3'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"desktop:22px;\",\"line-height\":\"desktop:35px;\"}'  style=\"\"><\/p>\n<h2>How do yoga classes work?<\/h2>\n<p><\/h3><div class=\"icon_description_text ult-responsive\"  data-ultimate-target='#Info-list-wrap-1473 .icon_description_text'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"desktop:18px;\",\"line-height\":\"desktop:22px;\"}'  style=\"\"><div class=\"gap\" style=\"line-height: 10px; height: 10px;\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Yoga classes work by first choosing the style we want to practice and then coming to our first class.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We will notice that during the first class, it will be clear to us how much we cannot do, how much we have neglected ourselves and how much we have lived unconsciously, so that over time, with continuous training, we will feel the real benefits of yoga in terms of improving the general condition of the body, or alleviating or eliminating pain or chronic diseases.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You will probably ask yourself during the class, &#8220;How does a yogi manage to do it, and I can&#8217;t?&#8221; A system that combines exercises, breathing techniques and mental techniques with suggestions on how to properly clean and keep your body (and mind) clean from the inside is not easy to beat\u2026<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4862\" src=\"https:\/\/tikiyoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/sta-je-joga-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"597\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tikiyoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/sta-je-joga-2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/tikiyoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/sta-je-joga-2-500x299.jpg 500w, https:\/\/tikiyoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/sta-je-joga-2-800x478.jpg 800w, https:\/\/tikiyoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/sta-je-joga-2-300x179.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tikiyoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/sta-je-joga-2-768x458.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When we are in a state of &#8220;rest&#8221; or occupied with some activity, our breathing is shallower, and the exchange of matter is difficult. Likewise, if we do not use our body, we do not make movements in all directions, and the mobility of the joints and the entire skeletal system decreases. We become stiff, and pain occurs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If we are constantly in a state of stress, emotional tension or overexertion due to workload at work, and we don&#8217;t have a &#8220;valve&#8221;, and we don&#8217;t know how to channel everything we feel or don&#8217;t know how to deal with it, there is a &#8220;burst&#8221; and often physical illness.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Yoga acts comprehensively. By using the diaphragm, we help our body to use its full capacity. We give it permission to regenerate and nourish itself. By taking a yoga position, we &#8220;lubricate&#8221; the joints, restore flexibility to the spine, and the blood supply helps the muscles to strengthen, as well as the internal organs to restore their natural way of working.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">All this makes our lymphatic system work at full speed, and we easily and quickly release everything harmful and everything that does not serve our body.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When we add relaxation and concentration techniques, our hormonal system quickly becomes balanced, and the nervous system supports all of this and strengthens its functions. The synergistic effect of all this affects our immune system, and we are healthy, youthful and vital.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"icon_list_connector\"  style=\"border-right-width: 1px;border-right-style: dashed;border-color: #ffffff;\"><\/div><\/li><li class=\"icon_list_item\" style=\" font-size:39px;\"><div class=\"icon_list_icon\" data-animation=\"\" data-animation-delay=\"03\" style=\"font-size:13px;border-width:1px;border-style:none;background:rgba(255,255,255,0.01);color:#333333;border-color:#333333;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"list-img-icon\" alt=\"null\" src=\"https:\/\/tikiyoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/zeleni-cvet-png-1.png\"\/><\/div><div class=\"icon_description\" id=\"Info-list-wrap-2290\" style=\"font-size:13px;\"><h3 class=\"ult-responsive info-list-heading\"  data-ultimate-target='#Info-list-wrap-2290 h3'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"desktop:22px;\",\"line-height\":\"desktop:35px;\"}'  style=\"\"><\/p>\n<h2>Why is it healthy to practice yoga?<\/h2>\n<p><\/h3><div class=\"icon_description_text ult-responsive\"  data-ultimate-target='#Info-list-wrap-2290 .icon_description_text'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"desktop:18px;\",\"line-height\":\"desktop:22px;\"}'  style=\"\"><div class=\"gap\" style=\"line-height: 10px; height: 10px;\"><\/div><br \/>\nIt is healthy and advisable to practice yoga because:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Improves joint and muscle flexibility<\/li>\n<li>Builds muscle mass<\/li>\n<li>Improves proper posture and protects the spine<\/li>\n<li>Prevents deterioration of joints and cartilage<\/li>\n<li>Strengthens connective tissue<\/li>\n<li>Improves bone health and bone mass<\/li>\n<li>Stimulates circulation<\/li>\n<li>Improves the functionality of the immune system<\/li>\n<li>Regulates heart rate<\/li>\n<li>Regulates blood pressure<\/li>\n<li>Regulates the function of the adrenal glands and reduces the level of cortisol<\/li>\n<li>Helps to regulate the daily symptoms of menopause<\/li>\n<li>Improves mood<\/li>\n<li>Regulates blood sugar levels<\/li>\n<li>Improves concentration&#8230;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"icon_list_connector\"  style=\"border-right-width: 1px;border-right-style: dashed;border-color: #ffffff;\"><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div>[vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are many prejudices surrounding the term YOGA today.
