Benefits and history of yoga

Don't miss out!
  Yoga isn't just a sport, it's a philosophy of life. Whether you're a beginner or already advanced, the Koh Samui Yoga Retreat is pure relaxation you shouldn't miss out on! You'll learn to live the Indian philosophy. Mastering body and mind, and finding harmony with yourself, will help you feel revitalised and full of energy after the 15-day all-inclusive Koh Samui Yoga Retreat. The benefits of this Indian philosophy of life include:
  • Strengthening your muscles and the resulting improvement in posture are a major benefit of yoga.
  • Conscious breathing techniques provide more oxygen to the lungs and can help with, or prevent, heart conditions.
  • Your awareness of your own body improves, and you learn to love your own body.
  • You gain flexibility and your immune system is strengthened.
  • Yoga helps you achieve more relaxation.
Yoga is a thousands-of-years-old teaching and remains hugely popular today. In the stress of everyday life, concentration often suffers. Being scattered - having your thoughts everywhere at once, being unable to settle down or think clearly - is also a state of mind that yoga aims to counteract. Calming the mind is of the highest priority at the Koh Samui Yoga Retreat. But we don't just want to calm your mind for a short while: with helpful tips and by learning the core principles of yoga, you'll be able to find inner peace in the future too. Yoga was first mentioned around 400 BC, in ancient India. Originally, yoga was based purely on spirituality. Only over time did the many exercises (asanas) develop. These strengthen and mobilise the body. The positive effects on the body were quickly recognised and so were incorporated into the philosophical teaching. The asanas were further developed, and yoga has grown ever more popular.

Even though yoga's roots lie in Hinduism and Buddhism, it's practised in the most varied regions and religions around the world. Karma and the teachings of reincarnation have influenced yoga, and many yogis live by these principles. In the yoga concept, body, mind and soul are viewed as a whole. The interplay between them is improved through controlled breathing and meditation exercises. According to traditional understanding, positive spiritual energy is meant to rise through the various postures, breathing exercises and mantras up to the chakras (energy centres), positively influencing them. Yoga can be practised at any time and by anyone. The many different styles offer something for everyone - whether fitness or inner calm and balance. On top of that, all you need for yoga exercises is a suitable mat, and you're ready to get started with this ancient Indian practice.
