so so this is what yoga is about i mean if it was some sports i go and get a trainer and learn the right movement and said to bend my body and so on so but this is not right because you look good doing it and like to do with the 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 and our cardiovascular system even on our immune system so let's 1st take a look at some facts of your. yoga mats or rolled out 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 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. has come to you about 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 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 better dr hedwig 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 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 breathing 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 are doing the exercises but we carry yoga with us all day long it's been proven to make people calmer and more relaxed. than hanson'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 your letter would be a 3 day trip ok so power in your right leg to look your knee lift your left leg. up your like right. and your heel in the middle of your hips. dressed up so all of the left and in front of your chest. and now relax. and breathing look at your belly and your face my. auditive actually it feels a bit unstable more unstable then you look to me ok and but but what's

breathing so important i mean it's it would be easier for me to just hold my breath and really think of living right ruling entry into everything. and direct station is also important and you get. a little 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 a 5. concentrate. to stand on one leg of course i would train my brain and body and breezing to different kinds of yoga but what

kind of yoga is this i was practicing it's a classical how to yoga sign to small so we work with a different part of the brain get some more exercise ok because i already have 3 what is going to be a balanced post so lucky left leg which left and. right left to right leg take 2 fingers grip your big toe. relax your mind breathing kick your left leg out are you 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 a 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 yoga is not just about the posture it's not just about the breathing and they relax asian it's about nutrition too yes so what

kind of nutrition is this if i would like to become a yogi there are. nothing like a conference from thing. worked with connected to the for whom 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 be food which was biological logical clean were to good to digest for your thumb and they are mostly also connected to your daily life so you are working with your body or more mentally so we can do with food a lot of mentally it's very loving myself loving her just can do what i'd like to do and it and i think if i would put all of this together it's clear that yoga 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's still teaching might. probably be your instructor in germany

she's 93 but for her that's no reason to stop stretching and bending. d'ivoire to show how this you all are the true beauty of yoga lies in its infinite possibilities which offer something to everyone regardless of age. else that doesn't need props like singing bowls and incense. she simply leads the way into the astana. it impresses the students become aware very physical limits when they encounter their own inflexibility. is a little 1st rating. but more than anything else they moloch tells the strength on condition. she explains and shows us the assonance for an hour and a half she's amazing. both of them 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 sunflower oil before leaving to give classes. elves are certain that it's her positive attitude to life that keeps a fit she doesn't understand all the attention she gets but she's happy that so many people enjoy her courses. it along as 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.

is said to strengthen your body and your mind at 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 high fiber 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. full force. 20 percent of the people at this yoga festival and got 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 stars 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 heads up and 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 even forty's the idea was to bring together various yoga studios in stuttgart the response has been great before the big hole was full from the outset we're going to have 2 lovely days just minutes ago. 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 to inner

peace. i'm very relaxed i would like to do some yoga ok ok so the through and of of that of course to ok so lucky right me locked the lift your left one. of thing of together that group ok smile on your face don't forget and then grab left like all of the 1st up smile breathing if you're comfortable go a little bit deeper with a group. and if you feel you're standing like a circle don't go for the ok to do prayer circle stomach and. relax your face. pulling about. breathing and lonely come back and tell you what. in real life on the run or amp and i like the performance of america and like

to get fatter every week so am in here and i'm really disappointed that i'm only able to grab my leg here to wrap it there like you did so what about this competition of the western world kind of ignored a few of the mind structure we hear so what do you think you get a few grew up with what you had or you know 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 and 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. like this ok so if i like to start or 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 tell out of yoga spinoffs like beer your god even newt your girths that's what you think of this i would never 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. right i prefer live fully draft of your graph. you know because. everything what is outside

normally is not the way we look to the to what's inside and to we have to feel what to do but yoga's health but 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 great yoga teacher what is to the 4 hour 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. then you will find the right place and the right but i think many of our viewers right now would like to start the practice of yoga but they say i can't because i don't have the right equipment but we can help you win it all. we've got a great mass and affluent feet talent. belt

and a cd 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. 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 relation drugs such as that substances and these are medications that can lead to dependency within a few weeks or no opinion can. 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. 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 off to maybe 2 or 3 hours and 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 beauty 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 narrowed transmitter that arrives at the gabba receptors the

stronger the sleep signal transmitted throughout the body sleeping medications like benzo days of pins also work by a gap or receptor. they strengthen the effects of the brain's own neurotransmitter to make you fall asleep more quickly but they do come with side affects. there are fewer deep sleep phases they're the ones which rest the body on there if you are dreaming phases when we inscribe but we have experience 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 the 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 had bigger hot spots 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 bottle 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. if. we ask you to send in your questions about sleep remedies and here are some livia wants to know what do you

think about the 3 pall mall military a new. military unit is a sleep 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 that's alcohol help that's a nightcap ok alcohol counselor don it makes you sleepy but it confuses our nature o'flynn pays us sleep under the influence of alcohol it's not restful alcohol also disturbs to 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 the family doctor that's it for

today see you next week and until then it's all right to stay relaxed and in good shape.
