I finally came to a tipping point at 24 years old when I was working long hours and trying to manage a new family. Being so young the stress finally hit me hard and I began having anxiety and starting to go into depression. I saw many doctors but none really help me completely and my distrust in medications for depression lead me to find the joy of being out doors as a cyclist and the stress reliever of yoga. I couldnt believe what a change this has done for me and has opened my mind to understand others and their differences.

I'm a relative beginner at Yoga having come to practice daily for the last 5 weeks. I came to practice because of terrible pain in my hips and hamstrings, to the extent where walking up stairs or hills was extremely painful, and the pain was waking me up at night. Pain medication and conventional physiotherapy had little effect and I was worried about long term pain medication use. I couldn't even put my socks on without pain. Eventually I hired a yoga teacher to come to my house and she recommended Yoga with Adriene for practicing between our sessions. After just 2 weeks I began to notice some serious benefits. I am doing an average of a 15-20 minute practice every morning. After 5 weeks, I have noticed the following changes: Every muscle in my body, from head to toe, has gained strength and flexibility. I have significant reduction in pain to the extent where I haven't used medication for 3 weeks. I can look over my shoulder without pain and can put my socks on standing up (so my balance is improving too, I've NEVER been able to do that!). Yesterday was a great day because I skipped up the stairs without thinking, then burst out crying with happiness because I can't remember the last time I was able to do that! My hamstrings are still tight and I know it's going to take time for them to feel completely normal, but every day I notice little things that would have caused me pain before, no longer do. My posture and silhouette are both improved (being 50, my figure was getting a little saggy and my posture was ALWAYS poor). But the effects are mental as well as physical... I seem to be organically making better choices when it comes to food, and I'm drinking more water too. I use the breathing to calm and ground me when I'm feeling stressed, I am just happier all over because of the reduction in pain and I feel proud of my achievement of actually showing up at my mat every morning. I feel a huge shift in my psyche from being worried and stressed about a future filled with pain, to feeling younger and actually excited about my life. I never would have believed these changes would be possible after such a short amount of time so if you're reading this, what do you have to lose by giving it a go? I'm now on a mission to tell anyone who will listen.... give Yoga a try. My yoga teacher says if you do Yoga once a week, it will change your mind. Do it twice a week, it will change your body. Do it every day, and it will change your life. Love and light to all

Shakir Zakerullah - You can lift your own body weight anywhere on the road - at a truck stop - by doing lots of push ups and jumping as high as you can from a low squat position and if you can find a strong bar, doing chin ups. I was a champion wrestler and never lifted weights. Only push ups, chin ups, sit ups, jumping high, lots of stretching, sprints and medium-long running. A joyful mind above petty squabbles. Cheers!

@@KingaGorski But what does it mean

[@percival-hz5zj]

@@christiantaylor1495 I think it means creating actual space between the cells of your body on a microscopic level. And creating space between the blood vessels and channels of the body, such as the lymphatic system. It also applies to the creation of space between the denser aspects of your body, e.g. the fascia and muscles, allowing your body to open and get rid of blockages. In terms of the mind, yoga can create space between your thoughts through harnessing the breath. This allows you to realise that you are the observer of your thoughts and emotions (the energetic body), and may eventually lead you to realise that you, at the soul level, are not your thoughts, emotions or even your body. You are the observer within. I hope this helps.

Can you just imagine how much developed the INDIAN SUBCONTINENT was, more than thousands of years ago in the fields of inner engineering, spirituality, science and medicines- that they developed such relaxing and curing body postures and mind calming Sanskrit mantras that are a key to the cure of almost every problem surrounding people - and now after so many thousands of years finally the people of the rest of the world are coming to know about the benefits of Yoga. But still many of the aspects of Yoga remain lost in time - so to have a complete understanding about all the aspects of Yoga, one needs to read all the ancient scriptures of India, basically all the VEDAS. There are many people who are practicing yoga and are getting benifitted from yoga- but they don't know that Yoga originated thousands of years before in INDIA and they even criticise India because they have many misconceptions about India. The main thing that I want to say is that if you are learning and benifitting from something- you should also appriciate and have a detailed conception about its origin, because if you don't know where you came from how will you appriciate where you are going. I hope people reading this comment will understand the benefit of knowing this.

Thanks for sharing this. I think so many people are missing the vital point when it comes to Yoga . Most people thing it as if it is only the Asanas. However in truth Yoga is much more than that. Patanjali describes 8 limbs in the Yoga Sutras and Asana is just one limb of it. All the limbs actually lead one to have access to the universal mind and gives one the ability communicate with it and learn. Thats where Samyama is needed and as everyone that actually read the Yoga Sutras will know Patanjali doesn't share more than couple sentences about it. I know only one system online ( there may be more that I am not aware of ) that actually helps someone regardless on their level to reach to that communication. It is an online school called "Drukama" . You can check their videos on KZbin or Fbook if interested. Blessings and once again thank you for the share !

I been having back pain and should the past few months. My anxiety and stress level increase even with a simple task. But when I started yoga all this pain is gone! I don't have to go get a massage which is expensive. Now I can help myself without having to spend. Not bad isn't it?

[@NitinJadhav-cc2xh]

Good keep doing. You will start realizing yoga beyond physical.

[@anthonyhuynh2785]

I can really feel the difference after practicing yoga and meditation for just two weeks. I have no more back pain, feel more calm and conscious in each situation. My nose no longer bleeds with fluids in cold weather. It is amazing!

[@n-silvabts9178]

I've been practicing it for a short time, 101 level and I already feel the physical and mental benefits.

I’ve been a psychotherapist and a yogi for over four decades. Just now am I truly integrating all of this knowledge on a cellular, conscious lèvel. It’s cumulative. Take it slow, start where you are. This is a deep, profound and wonderfully inclusive, healing practice.

[@POOJA757]

The problem is, people are associating Asanas as Yoga(Which is a part of the science). But, Yoga is not only the Asanas, but it is also a much deeper philosophy, which connects you to your inner self, simply said makes you introvert. Lets you ponder on what is actually causing the pain(physical, mental, psychological etc), and then the healing starts. Sadly, people only know dynamic Yoga of Sri Iyengar (not offending) but not much people know about gems like Kaivalyadhama, where Scientific Research is done on Yoga. I would also like to mention that I've attended a lecture by Mr. Satbir Khalsa and he is a brilliant man! Hope to learn more from such stalwarts.

Thanks for this. Yoga really has helped me regarding my usual back pain. This is nowadays gone.

[@professorglutes1445]

I have had anxiety and a lack of emotional resilience for years... we can blame our life changes but it was fundamentally my way of coping that needed adjustment. I have been an intense exerciser for years and while this keeps me strong and healthy, it doesn't work as well as yoga when you're having a 'moment'. The practice of yoga itself concentrates on patience (holding the poses and working on becoming more flexible), emotional resilience (staying in the pose when you want to come out of it) and breathing which isa mechanism that really does work... you MUST have faith in the breathe, its work is impressive!!!!!!!

This is a powerful documentary! Thank you for presenting this information to the public.

[@TheWorldTeacher]

F.I.S.H Paragraph 9. The goal of life is self-realization, that is, to remember who we really are. We have lived for so long in this material universe in ignorance of our true nature that the process of realizing who we are will most likely take many incarnations. This quest for perfection is the most noble endeavour possible. One who is aware of his/her true nature overcomes all perceived suffering by constant remembrance of him/herself as an eternal spiritual being - beyond the mundane relativism of this phenomenal sphere. This is what it means to be "enlightened". Such a saintly person is extremely rare indeed. To read the remaining thirty-nine paragraphs of “A Final Instruction Sheet for Humanity”, which the God of all gods has graciously given to His Prophet on Earth, email: [e-mail] with the acronym “FISH” in the subject field.

Dear Laura or Whom it may concern-I'm very, very, very Overwhelmed to have come across this very Valuable Documentary! I would like to take this Opportunity to Thank you for taking the Time to put this together. I have been doing HATHA YOGA since I was 5 from my uncle that now he is 107....presently, I live in the Eternal City of Rome-Italy. I'm retired now....but I do teach it in one of the Universities and from home. Sometimes, many people don't have the time for nothing...but I would like to really Thank You for the bottom of my heart for All the Efforts that you guys have put together, because really YOGA is more than a Science if done Correctly! Endeless Benefits. If there is anything I could do to help out...let me know...NAMASTE!

Heartwarming to know that yoga asanas are practiced by millions all over the world. It really speaks to the way it makes one feel and the (w)holistic benefits. As an Ayurvedic Practitioner, I am witnessing how the popularity of the asanas eventually led people to Yoga's sister science Ayurveda (the science of self-healing) - what a great trend - developing the understanding and practicing how to care for oneself, building one's immunity, and health of body, mind & spirit. May the yogic sciences continue to spread far and wide. Aum Namah Shivaya ~
