the 21st of june is a very special day because it's ruled yoga. the idea behind the united nations world yoga day was to raise awareness as yoga as health benefits and get found all over the world practicing this trade. and other opposes. the idea was proposed by indian prime minister narendra modi who himself has rolled out his yoga mosque in public. that's amazing that tell you what it's not for me because i'm the guy who works out doing sports real sports but i'm still curious let's have a look. farhad barry is the founder and director of the yoga and more studio in berlin he wants to help people develop more holistic

lifestyles and he accompanies them in that process with love consciousness and understanding. of beauty you can find you so and. so are you curious about your group too. and i've got an idea for you. i'm giving away one. that's really tough i will never be able to do this. i so how long does it take to learn this depends on how you do it i mean like you actually you can do with like me because you are. ok but you can look how i am doing and then you can learn. to find your own way find

your own post. so this is what yoga is about i mean if i do some sports i go and get a trainer and learn the right move men said to bend my body and so on so that this is not right because you look good doing it and like to do with me and they have nothing to do with you. in this is so fascinating about this. and about me. and i mean as the president as a doctor i was reading a lot about your words about the effect it has on our body like the effect on muscle loss strengthen our bones our joints our cardiovascular system even on our immune system so let's 1st take a look at some facts of your. yoga mats the role that all over the world these days outdoors in studios in groups or people on their own from the downward facing dog to head stance. whatever pose you

choose the main thing is the connection between mind and body. you know best i can and yoga has ancient roots in india it's one of the old philosophical systems although not the kind where you just sit around thinking. it's a path it's traditionally meant to lead you to the truth i survive. yoga was 1st developed in india over 2000 years ago the poses called us and are intended to make meditation easier. to focus on breathing serves to unify mind and body and help you find inner peace. yoga is not a sport even if it sometimes looks impressively acrobatic the focus on the body helps relieve stress whether you're suspended midair on your knees or sitting in a lotus position a crucial. element is concentrating on your breathing. in

yoga the point is never about reaching some extreme goal. it's about perceiving limits and getting in tune with yourself combining movement with your breathing and listening to your body in every position asking yourself was not ok for me i think these are the elements that are typical of all forms of yoga. for people stressed by their everyday lives yoga brings calm where there is tension . that's why orthopedists and i are vader dr head to a gupta uses yoga as a therapy in her practice. study show that yoga has healing powers. following a comprehensive examination it's time to hit them up. the exercises help patients recover their inner balance and can relieve pain in the

process. and yes it is up yoga therapy has several aims to get in tune with yourself restore your body stability and get your muscles working again. for that we can use the asana as the physical exercises as well as the brain think therapy we improve the muscle function and ultimately counter the pain process is. so yoga does the mind body good and can serve as an effective complementary practice to physiotherapy. physiotherapy has an effect while you're doing the exercises but we carry yoga with us all day long it's been proven to make people calmer and more relaxed. and enhanced as our quality of life but it's not just about one symptom in yoga it's always about the entire person and their life. did little wonder then that yoga has become. so popular especially given its many different forms including

easy exercises for beginners. ok let's let's do it it's do some yoga so let's practice yeah right so what you know let it be a free trip ok so power in your right leg to look your knee lift your left leg up your like right. in your heel in the middle of your hips. chest up sole of the left and on up your chest. and the relax. and breathing look your belly and your face my. heart feels actually it feels a bit unstable more unstable and you look to me ok and but but what is

breathing so important i mean it's would be easier for me to just hold my breath i'm really living right reading the entry into everything. and direct station is also important in your. total exhale relax. and then the next in here is much more. lifting your chest. so you think what you do i think in here i do that. i think x. well i do it. and then i feel so is it about getting more stable like training with the state into the stable position of course i mean if by concentrate. to stand on one leg of course i would train my brain and body and breathing to different kinds of yoga but what kind of yoga it says i was practicing is a classical how to heal the sun to small so we work with

a different part of the bring it to some more exercises ok because i already have the 3 i don't go to the balance poster so lucky left leg with your left hand yep right left to right leg take 2 fingers grip your big toe. relax your mind start breathing kick your left leg out on here you're kidding me eric make as good as you can that's all i think you do less than me. think you do less than me yeah that's a big mistake why because your car from. i don't know if you do the best you can and it's perfect ok so i don't have to compare myself with you but you'll this not just about the posture it's not just about the breathing and they relax asian it's about nutrition too yes of course so what kind of nutrition is that if i would like to become a yogi there of nothing like

a con for something we're just connected to the for who in the who you are how was your body made and then we can work for a little food for what is good for you. so of course with truth be food which was biological logical clean were too good to digest for your thumb and mostly also connected to your daily life so you're working with your body or mentally so we can deal with food a lot of mentally it's very loving myself running for just can do what i'd like to do into it and i think if i would put all of this together it's clear that you're going to makes you happy person perhaps and a healthier person and you can even live longer so let's take a look at a yoga teacher called the fork and she's more than 90 years old and she still teaching my. probably the oldest yoga instructor in germany

she's 93 but for her that's no reason to stop stretching and bending. d'ivoire i'm sure this you all are the true beauty of yoga lies in its infinite possibilities which offer something to everyone regardless of age. else it doesn't need props like singing bowls and incense. she simply leads the way into the. students become aware of their physical limits when they encounter their own inflexibility. a little 1st. struck more than anything else they moloch strength on condition. she explains and. for an hour and a half she's amazing. she wanted to be a yoga teacher when she was in her teens she trained to be an instructor long

before the yoga hype got underway in the west. even now she starts every day with half an hour of yoga in bed. then a spoonful of sunflower oil before leaving to give classes. of all elves or is certain that it's her positive attitude to life that keeps her fit she doesn't understand all the attention she gets but she's happy that so many people enjoy her courses. get along is no good is long as i'm in good shape i'll keep at it they all want me to come and i hope nothing gets in the way. while practicing yoga ninety's i hope i will be able to do this well we'll see yoga was invented by man but here in the western world it's more seen like to be a stretching program for women but this opinion is changing.

so god is said to strengthen your body and your mind the traditional indian practice is popular among women in the west but many men still wouldn't be caught dead on a yoga mat but there are exceptions. took up yoga 3 and a half years ago and is convinced of its benefits. above all yoga is a good counterbalance to the demands of my work and private life but it's also really good in terms of agility it almost matches and you're in sports some. thoughts or sport. 20 percent of the people at this yoga festival in stuttgart a men which is a fair amount these days in centuries past the gender bias was very different women were banned from doing yoga it was a male preserve. b.k.s. iyengar changed all that probably the most famous yoga teacher in the world he

popularized yoga in the western world in the 20th century. nowadays yoga instructors are instagram stance people like dylan werner he's dynamic an acrobatic version of the practice is now catching on among men in the u.s. one of the best known yogis in germany is former soccer player team or his up on the x. goalkeeper aims to spread the word about the benefits of yoga and that's why he decided to launch the shot got yoga festival. and even 5 of these the idea was to bring together various yoga studios in stuttgart the response has been great big hole was full from the outset we're going to have 2 lovely days when it's over. 600 yoga enthusiasts have come to the festival to practice yoga together and while men are still very much in the minority here they're clearly really getting into it trying out various poses and easing down the road in

people around the world regularly take sleeping pills but it extends specialists were bigger hutzpah warns that you can become addicted to them after only a short period of use. sleeping pills and tranquilizers mainly contain benzodiazepines or related drugs such as that substances and these are medications that can lead to dependency within a few weeks and opinion. on an elisa by the took sleeping pills for years night after night but she had doubts she spoke to her doctor about it but he played down the matter. and i went to a different doctor and he said that at my age i could still keep taking them it was no big deal. it's. the retiree remain skeptical she was

afraid of becoming drug dependent but she did not want to do without the pills completely which is why she reduced the dose by half with serious results who took charge with time my knee some. i could not offer to hours but then i became restless again and then off to maybe 2 or 3 hours on fall asleep again. i'm elizabeth sleep patterns we're completely disturbed. to be able to get to sleep our body needs to be told to start winding down. usually it's the neurotransmitter gamma amino beauty acid or gabaa for short that conducts the relevant signals from one nerve ending to another to the so-called gabaa receptor. they send the message on word through the nervous system telling the body to throttle back the more narrow transmitter that arrives at the gabba receptors the stronger the sleep signal transmitted throughout the body sleeping medications like

benzo days opinions also work by a gap a receptor. they strengthen the effect of the brain's own neurotransmitter to make you fall asleep more quickly but they do come with side affects. the teach love. there are fewer deep sleep phases they're the ones which rest the body and there are fewer dreaming phases when we inscribe what we have experienced during the day into our long term memory or even. anyone who takes sleeping pills over a long period and then suddenly starts taking fewer of them or stops them altogether ends up with a problem of a different kind your body gets accustomed to receiving stronger sleep signals without them it's harder to drop off. i'm elizabeth started to realize that she needed to come off sleeping meds all together she read about

sleeping meds for the 1st time was monitored for 7 years and compared to people who didn't take them. the findings showed that pill users mortality rates were double those of non pill takers. statistics show that sleeping pill prescriptions have dropped in recent years but the risk of dependency is still often underestimated. analyser is off her meds completely now she uses a new method to drop off involving relaxing music and a regular bedtime routine things are getting easier and she's thrown away the leftover tablets to stay on the safe side. we asked you to send in your questions about sleep remedies and hear ourselves livia wants to know what do you think about this new palm own military unit.
