What is yoga? Why is it worth using it in your training plan?

What is yoga? A multidimensional exercise system

Yoga is an extremely original exercise model that can be successfully used every day and at every level of experience. The basic principle of yoga training is to achieve an optimal balance between the body, emotions and the mental sphere. The people of India have been practicing yoga for many years, which helps them to pursue professional self-fulfilment and achieve their goals in their private lives. It is not without reason that yoga is often perceived not only as a form of sports training, but above all as a system of exercises supporting, among others, regeneration, flexibility of body structures and regulation of breathing.

The multidimensional impact of yoga makes regular training extremely beneficial on a variety of levels:

• muscles and locomotor system
• cardiovascular system and heart function
• respiratory system and diaphragm function
• appearance of the skin and overall metabolic rate
• functioning of the nervous system as well as well-being

What kind of clothes for yoga to choose?

One of the most important elements of yoga training is comfortable clothing. The use of clothing made of flexible material will not hinder the exercise. The maintenance of freedom of movement is a fundamental point in yoga, so training clothing must not be restrictive during exercise. In addition, it is worth taking care to ensure that the exercise clothes are skin-friendly and do not cause uncomfortable irritations (e.g. abrasions or rashes).
