the 21st of june is a very special day because it's rolled back to. the idea behind the united nations world yoga day was to raise awareness of yoga as health benefits and get all over the world crossing the street. and other poses. 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 helen. take

lifestyle. she accompanies them in that process with love consciousness and understanding. you are beautiful you can find yourself through movement. so you curious about yoga 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. so how long does it take to learn this depends on how you do i mean like you actually you can't who would 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 it was some sports i would get a trainer and learn the right movements and to bend my body and so on so but this is not right because you look for doing it and like to do with the mule and they would have nothing to do with you. in this is so fascinating about if. it's about me and about me. i mean as to for his temperament as a doctor i was reading a lot of what your wrote about the effect it has on our body like the effect or 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 think you can yoga has 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 think survivor. yoga was 1st developed in india over 2000 years ago the poses called us and us 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 are sitting in the lotus position a crucial element is concentration on your breathing. come to you about me the all

in yoga the point is never about reaching some extreme goal. it's about perceiving limits and getting in tune with yourself one combining movement with your breathing and listening to your body in every position asking yourself was that ok for me i think these are the elements that are typical of all forms of yoga. for people stressed out 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 the mash. the exercises help patients recover their inner balance and can relieve pain in the

process. yes it is up you know the 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 breathing therapy we. prove the muscle function and ultimately counter the pain process is now. so yoga does the mind body good and can serve as an effective complementary practice to physiotherapy. if you see your therapy has an effect while you're doing the exercise but we carry yoga with us all day long it's been proven to make people calmer and more relaxed as we begin hansen's our quality of life and it's not just about one symptom. it's always about the entire person and their life. 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's your ringback that'll be a 3 day trip ok so powering your i'd like to look you need lift your left leg up you're like right. in the heel in the middle if you rip. trust up hold of the left hand and look at it. and not relax. and breathing look at your belly and your face smile. oh it feels. actually it feels a bit stable more unstable then you look to me ok and but but what's breathing so important i mean it's would be easier for me to just hold my breath on

the roof in the living. room. and train everything. and direct station is also important in your. total exhale relax. and the next in here is much more. lifting your chest. so you think what you do i think in there i do it. i think x.l. i do it. and then i feel so is it about getting more stable like training to the state into the stable position of course i mean the 5. concentrate to stand on one leg of course i would train my brain my body i'm breathing there are different kinds of your well yes but what kind of yoga is this i was practicing at the classical how do you have a son. more so we work with

a different part of the brain that's some more exercise ok because i already 3 what is going to the balance both to so lucky left leg yeah with your left hand and your head yeah right left to right leg take 2 fingers grip your big toe. relax your mind reading keep your left leg out and who are kidding me eric 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 you're catherine. 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 miss not just about the postures not just about the breathing and the relax asian it's about nutrition too yes so what kind of nutrition is that if i would like to become a yogi there of nothing like

a conference from thing. we're just connected to the for so who you are i was your body made and then we can work for the food for what is good for you. so of course the truth before the truth 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 do with food a lot of mentally it's very loving myself wanting to focus can do what i'd like to do and if and i think if i would put all this together it's clear that you are makes you happy a 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. is probably the oldest yoga instructor in germany

she's 93 but for her that's no reason to stop stretching and bending. d'ivoire to show this you all are the true beauty of yoga lies in its infinite possibilities which offer something to everyone re cardless of age. doesn't need props like singing bowls and incense. simply leads the way into the asana. students become aware of their physical limits when they encounter their own inflexibility. little frustrating. but more than anything else they moloch strength on condition. she explains and. for an hour and a half she. knew she wanted to be a yoga teacher when she was in her teens she trying 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 some flour oil before leaving to give classes. above all else or is certain that it's her positive attitude to life it keeps her fit she doesn't understand all the attention she gets both she's happy that so many people enjoy her courses. get along is no good is mine 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. yoga 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 of fiber which 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 insurance sports so much. so i was told. 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. the k.s.i. yang get 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 his 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 stuttgart yoga festival. and you do 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 and it's. 600 yoga enthusiasts have come to the festival to practice yoga together and while men are still very much in the minority here i clearly really getting into it trying out various poses and easing down the road in

a piece. i'm very relaxed i would like to do some yoga ok ok so the through another both are ok you're right knee locked the left well you of thing of together. are ok smiling a face full forget and then grab a flick. first up. smile brazing if you're comfortable maybe the girl of the deep over there it. sigh and if you feel you're standing leg shaking don't go further and take a deep breath such a stomach and relax your face and smile also in the valley extend breezing and slowly come back to tell you what. in real life a runner m. and a like a performance of

a marathon and to make to get faster in the groove so in here i'm really disappointed that i'm only able to grip my leg here to wrap it there like you did so what about this competition of the western world can this in part a few of the mind structure we get so what you think you get if you grab your foot what you had are you why because i'm like you and you can't be like me ok i can be like your style there's nothing like. competition no just with the competition with myself you know you're on talk it's the monkey mind was telling you you need more to do then you get more mostly not like this ok so if i like to start if you can how should i start. a singer depends on what you would like to take out if you're interested and i would give you an

overview about our classes and. depending to the time and what you were able to bring into the process i would. recommend some classes for 12 weeks to get the 1st impression and then of course that needs to be done regularly nobody can say how often is good for you but you can ask teacher you can ask yourself how do i feel. i'm happy or not i think i should do more try it and wait what you feel care a lot of yoga spinoffs like beer yoga or even newt holger so what do you think of this i would say i would like to drink a beer i go to a bar you know and if i like to be nude i go to the beach. i prefer live fully dressed of your graph. you know because. everything what is outside normally is not with the way we look to to what's inside

and to get to feel what to do but yoga's health but definitely this is not the core concept of yoga or if i drink beer by doing so if i'm not living in berlin and i want to find a good grade yoga teacher what i have to look for i would pay attention if you go to a place what people ask you are you healthy what you want to do and get your trust your 1st impression. more think the right one and then of course you need to practice to get your own experience. and you will find the right place and the right teacher but i think many of our viewers right now would like to start the practice of yoga but they say. because i don't have the right equipment but we can help you win it all. we've got a great mass an affluent feet tower. a yoga belt

and a fiji of yoga music from all around the world as well as the back to put it all in just write to us don't forget the key word yeah the deadline is july 11th. yoga helps you to achieve your in the balance and by that a good night's sleep. but on the less many people taking sleeping pills this is quite dangerous. nighttime a nightmare for an elizabeth she couldn't relax she kept waking up and barely slept at all it all began 12 years ago when she retired. i would toss and turn i couldn't turn off my thoughts and then i couldn't sleep at all. analysts about sought help from her doctor he prescribed a sleeping pill zolpidem from then on she took half a pill every evening as many do. and millions of

people around the world regularly take sleeping pills but it explains specialists who to your heart's 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 substances and these are medications that can lead to dependency within a few weeks. 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. then i went to a different doctor and he said that at my age i could still keep taking them it was no big deal. which. 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. with time my insomnia got us i could not offer to hours but then i became restless again and then often maybe 2 or 3 hours i'd fall asleep again. i'm elizabeth's sleep patterns were 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 bute acid or gaba 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 of 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 effects. to teach law enforcement into there are fewer deep sleep phases they're the ones which rest the body falls under if you're dreaming phases when we inscribe what we have experienced during the day into our long term memory or even. anyone who takes clipping 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

who to go hotspots detox pilot project in the newspaper. he drew up a program for her which involves switching to medication in the form of drops. the idea was to reduce their number gradually to allow the body to adapt. in the pilot study this method worked for 50 percent of patients it took under a month to wean an elisa but off the drugs. i was pretty exhausted and anxious i just couldn't get to sleep anymore and then suddenly i was able to sleep again it was a relief. to dispose. of even. people with a bigger dependency problem may require a spell in hospital to detox but not many people are prepared to take that step and that can have serious consequences as a recent british study has shown the health of 35000 adults who were prescribed

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 us live your wants to know what do you think about this new palm own military unit. military

unit is asleep reproduce ourselves and you can buy it in the form of pills and capsules there are no studies that show that it works as a sleeping pill it helps your body to synchronize with daytime and nighttime but don't take it without seeing a doctor 1st. and jacob wants to know does alcohol help as a night cap ok alcohol can see you down and makes you sleepy but it confuses our natural sleep phases sleep under the influence of alcohol it's not restful alcohol also disturbs your kidney function so you wake up early and have to go to the bathroom. so my advice when it comes to sleeping problems don't mess around with medication ask your doctor especially your family doctor that's it for today see you next week and until then let's all try to stay relaxed and good shape
