Yoga, as it is commonly understood today, refers to Hatha Yoga, a branch that uses postures or “asanas”, to clear the mind and strengthen the body in preparation for mediation. Hatha Yoga seeks a balance between the mental and the physical. In theory, it pursues a harmony between opposing forces such as fire and water, female and male, darkness and light. Hatha Yoga’s holistic approach to enlightenment is sought via physical postures (”asanas”), purification procedures (”shatkriyas”), poses (”mudras”) yogic breathing (”pranayamas”), and mediation. Hatha Yoga presents an excellent way, in today’s hectic and stressful environment, to relax your mind, lessen your anxiety, improve your balance and achieve a healthier perspective.

Although Yoga itself refers to traditional meditative practices from both Buddhism and Hinduism, Hatha Yoga is by far the most popular branch or system of study. Because Yoga seeks to control the senses and clear the mind, Yoga classes help shift your focus from your worries to your breath, from everyday distraction to one single pose, from disordered to directed energy flow. This concern for overall wellness has been known to lessen stress, reduce chronic pain and even regenerate healthy tissue. Yoga provides superb exercise and can be practiced at home with Yoga DVD’s or in classes led by a credentialed instructor. Poses are performed using Yoga Mats, and are often coupled with Yoga balls, Yoga blocks and Yoga bolsters for greater accuracy and therapeutic benefit. We at Dazadi.com, in our endeavor to help you enjoy life to the fullest, offer a great variety of yoga equipment. Our JFit Skidless Yoga Mats provide exceptional stability for even the most challenging poses and come in fun, soothing colors.
