- What is yoga? What is mindfulness? And how do I meditate? I meet Kosta from Vikasa Yoga Retreat in Koh Samui, Thailand to find out why yoga, mindfulness and meditation are the keys to greater happiness.
Here's a bit more info from our friends at Wikipedia:
Yoga is a physical, mental, and spiritual practice or discipline which originated in India. There is a broad variety of schools, practices, and goals in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. Among the most well-known types of yoga are Hatha yoga and Rāja yoga.
The origins of yoga have been speculated to date back to pre-Vedic Indian traditions, is mentioned in the Rigveda, but most likely developed around the sixth and fifth centuries BCE, in ancient India's ascetic and śramaṇa movements.The chronology of earliest texts describing yoga-practices is unclear, varyingly credited to Hindu Upanishads and Buddhist Pāli Canon, probably of third century BCE or later. The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali date from the first half of the 1st millennium CE, but only gained prominence in the West in the 20th century. Hatha yoga texts emerged around the 11th century with origins in tantra.
Yoga gurus from India later introduced yoga to the west, following the success of Swami Vivekananda in the late 19th and early 20th century. In the 1980s, yoga became popular as a system of physical exercise across the Western world. Yoga in Indian traditions, however, is more than physical exercise, it has a meditative and spiritual core.One of the six major orthodox schools of Hinduism is also called Yoga, which has its own epistemology and metaphysics, and is closely related to Hindu Samkhya philosophy.
Many studies have tried to determine the effectiveness of yoga as a complementary intervention for cancer, schizophrenia, asthma, and heart disease.The results of these studies have been mixed and inconclusive, with cancer studies suggesting none to unclear effectiveness, and others suggesting yoga may reduce risk factors and aid in a patient's psychological healing process. - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน

Can I cure my liver by yoga
Thanks for posting this man. I really loved learning more about the practice and this was an awesome explanation that anyone can understand in a really basic way. Great video man.
Wow thanks man I really appreciate that you watched the video and left such a positive comment - you've brightened up my day :-)
What a great and meaningful message you've got though! I'm so thankful you've made my life better for sharing!
quite informative
I like yoga but I like the meditation part of it better. it is a great way to realise stress
+Shanell Pittman (SNELL) Hey Shannell! Yep I think the part where you lie down at the end and relax is the best bit for a lot of people :-) If you've really pushed yourself in the postures before the lying down it makes the relaxation even better ;-)
Thanks for tuning in!
Patrick
that's a good idea aslo but For me I like to sit in a chair and listen to meditation music on TH-cam I guess that is another part I like about yoga everybody has their own way of doing it. some like it the formal way some like to do with their own way likes my self
+Shanell Pittman (SNELL) I hear ya'! Just like you say - you don't need to be doing a one arm handstand to get the benefits - it's all about what works best for you .... it doesn't need to be painful or take lots of time out of your day :-)

+delicate rose Hey you! :-) I thought you might be a yoga fan :-)
Happiness to me is the realisation of my potential and having peace of mind :-)
finally someone who has knowledge about Yoga.
my question is what that guy in the beginning of the video doing all those pirouettes has to do with Yoga?
They were some dancers who came to the retreat to learn yoga ... I just thought they looked kinda interesting and shows that all sorts of people are attracted to the practice. Thanks for tuning in :-)

All these talks are real half and pieces of information. Being a fervent follower of Yoga and from India, here is the request, please don't dilute the knowledge of Yoga. Kindly educate yourself thoroughly on Yoga and have a courtesy to give a due credit of it's Indian origin more than calling it Asian. However appreciate the efforts taken on this video NAMASTE AUM.
Kudos for the video content! Apologies for chiming in, I would love your opinion. Have you ever tried - Riddleagan Professional Beats Remedy (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is a good exclusive guide for discovering a simple journey to success and fortune without the headache. Ive heard some decent things about it and my best friend Jordan got cool success with it.
