SOME INTERESTING FACTS
Yoga (/ˈjoʊɡə/ (listen); Sanskrit: योग, lit. 'yoke' or 'union' pronounced [joːɡɐ]) is a group of physical, mental, and spiritual practices or disciplines which originated in ancient India and aim to control (yoke) and still the mind, recognizing a detached witness-consciousness untouched by the mind (Chitta) and mundane suffering (Duḥkha).

What are asanas?
In the primary sources, asana is understood as a comfortable and pleasant position of the body, but to say that this is really so is to lie. For a beginner yoga, bends and backbends are a rather unpleasant thing. However, it is believed that the asana will really become comfortable when your body is completely relaxed and your mind is focused on the infinite. In secret, this is not always possible even for the most experienced yogis.
How useful is yoga?
Yoga is a great way to get rid of problems and get rid of unnecessary thoughts. It helps to know yourself both externally and internally. Already in the first lessons, you take a big step towards mastering your body and controlling your breath. In addition, like all physical exercises, yoga allows you to keep your muscles in good shape.
What is namaste?
Namaste is a gesture that means that every person has a divine element, and it is located in the heart chakra. To properly perform namaste, place your palms together at chest level, lower your eyes and tilt your head forward. Saying "namaste" during this action is optional. This gesture in yoga is recommended to start and end a class.
