Yoga Poses & Yoga Exercises

In Sanskrit, the word “pose” is “asana” (pronounced as “ah-sah-nah”).



Each asana helps you become more aware of your body, mind, and environment. While beginning your yoga exercises, experiment with the poses, moving in and out as you feel comfortable. If you approach the poses with playful curiosity, feeling of frustration and competitiveness will not enter your mind. While practicing your yoga exercises, make sure that you don’t feel any discomfort or pain.






Yoga Poses and breathing
Breathing is an essential part of practicing yoga exercises. You should never hold your breathe during a pose. Also make sure that your breath is never forced or strained. Labored breathing is sign that you you’re working too hard and should come out of the pose slightly.



When one starts practicing yoga, one can hold for three full breaths through most yoga poses. If you feel comfortable in the pose, hold for longer, if uncomfortable, you should come out of the pose immediately.

Types of Yoga Poses
Seated poses – Seated poses are useful for practicing breathing exercises and relaxation or meditation techniques. Seated poses are also often used as a warm up or as a starting point for other poses. Performing seated poses can help improve your posture and open your hips.


Standing poses – Standing poses are often used as warm up or as a starting point for other poses. Standing poses are beneficial for strengthening your legs, opening your hips and improving your sense of balance.


Inversions – Inversions are excellent poses to perform to improve your blood circulation, quiet your mind and improve your overall health. Inversions are also believed to reverse the ageing process and reduce the effect of the gravity on your body.


Relaxation and restorative poses – It is important to take time to perform relaxation or restorative poses at the end of each yoga practice. You can use this time to relax your body and mind and allow energy released by the poses in your practice to move freely throughout your body.


Counter poses – A counter pose is a yoga pose that stretches your spine in the opposite direction from a previous pose or returns your spine to a neutral position.


Twists – You can perform twists to stretch and strengthen your back and abdominal muscles, increase the flexibility of your spine and improve your circulation. Twists improve the functioning of your internal organs by providing them with a fresh supply of blood as you twist and release your body.


Balancing poses – Balancing poses are great for improving your balance and coordination as well as developing your ability to remain grounded in a pose. Keeping your body balanced encourages you to focus, quiet and balance your mind.


Forward bends – Forward bends stretch the entire back of your body, especially your hamstrings. Forward bends are also often used to release tension, calm your mind and soothe your nervous system. Similar to back bends, forward bends help keep your spine strong and supple.


Back bends – Back bends are among the most challenging poses in yoga. Bending backward helps strength your back and keep your spine strong and supple. Back bends also open the front of your body, especially your chest.

Yoga Therapy For Eye Problem (floaters)

If you see tiny little specks moving in front of your eyes, they are floaters. People often tend to see them when gazing at a plain background, such as the blue sky or a blank wall. Floaters are just small clumps of gel or cells within the vitreous area that fill the inside of the eye. That is the clear jelly-like fluid in your eye.


Floaters often look like strands, specks, webs or weird shapes. In actual matter of fact, what you are seeing, or think you are seeing are just the shadows of floaters that are cast on the retina; this happens to be the light-sensitive part of our eyes.


Yoga Therapy for Floaters and Spots


















Most spots and floaters in our eye are quite harmless and just a bit annoying. Most of them tend to fade away in time and become less troublesome. Oftentimes, a lot of folks, in a hurry, resort to surgery to remove them, but ophthalmologists are willing to oblige only in the rarest of instances.


On the other hand, sudden appearance of many floaters, particularly if accompanied by flashes or other optical disturbances, just might be indicative of a retinal detachment or some serious eye problem. It is always better to consult your eye doctor immediately in this case. Meanwhile, please practice these Yogasanas (postures), Pranayamas (breathing exercises) and Kriyas (cleansing techniques) with special emphasis on the eye kriyas and exercises mentioned at the end:
