Interesting, but it needs to be slower. Trying to keep up with it and figure out how to do each move right makes copying it a bit frantic...

If you guys are interested in doing this, try Lesley Fightmaster's videos on YouTube. :) She's what got me into yoga.

"Be less stressed" *dude in the animation is moving like 50mph* Yeah, that's not happening bruv. Maybe if you slowed it down a tad.

"Hold each pose for about 20 seconds"
CandidGamera
Which is apparently wrong as stated a few comments above, seeing as how you're suppose to exclusively inhale or exhale during specific poses
stanleyyelnats
That downdog is awful. Makes my back hurt just watching it.
EricDerRote
How about you just Stretch a lot and lift heavy,..

also, every pose where you look up, breathe in, and pose where you look down, breathe out.

Super helpful hint.

for 20 seconds?
hitshappens
2 seconds. I don't know why he said 20, but standard practice for optimal benefits is 2-3 seconds per pose

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kS4YA1z8fsc there. I don't understand a word of it but this may help.
hitshappens
A set of surya namaskar is 14, and a mastery level is 8 sets a day. Do you really think they're spending 8 hours a day doing surya namaskar?
AllHailTheDramaLlama
No but for someone who wants to learn we need to see each pose longer then 3 seconds to immitate it.
hitshappens
Yea, to learn it. But when you're actually doing it after learning it, 2-3 seconds only per pose.

Notice all the scientific studies this poster has linked.

1) I want to see scientific proof 2) why aren't they practicing this in every hospital

It's both mentally and physically taxing, so most people don't keep up with it. As an Indian though, the people who do it daily are (1/2)
cavedoge
The benefits of stretching are well documented. If you have a bad injury, you can bet your ass you'll be assigned stretches in therapy
myplacetosaytheshitineversay
Because the benefits of yoga, meditation, and other Eastern practices are only slowly being accepted and studied by the medical community.
CandidGamera
Let me guess, you think exercise is hogwash invented by the evil fitness conspiracy, and you're too smart to fall for that scam, eh lardo?
insomniac24x7
Lardo lol. No I think gimmicks are. But I'm not saying this is one, I just want more research
hitshappens
I know that doesn't seem scientific, but I know over 1000 indian people, and of those, around 200 to 300 do it daily, so it's something

This is no different to simply doing some good stretches for each muscle group.

This is the sunrise salutation, right?
jessinthedark
Ah, not quite (compared to what I'm taught anyway)
Lannisterberg
It's a modified variation and doesn't show proper alignment, but yes it's demonstrating one of the sun salutations
parksAndRings
I know it as Sun A :)
ashmenon
Yup. Surya = "sun", namaskar = "greetings, salutations"

theimprobableone
Sun* salutation but yes!
ImTheGoddamnBatwoman
Wait hold on. Didn't the sun salutation also include warrior 1 and warrior 2?
theimprobableone
This is Sun Salutation A, which doesn't include the warrior poses. But sun salutation B has them.

So day 2 on the floor. Bevin hasn't come back since he left the cone, picture and loan application. I found some beans under the fridge.

My wife hasn't come back either. I saw a tiny, web based suitcase near the door, so I fear Bevin is planning to leave.

But.. the first one is just stand pose.

How ya holding down there?

Tightly. Bevin is on the loose and I can't find OP either. We need to do something before Bevin feeds again.

I think the spider on the underside of the table is mocking me. He keeps looking away and turning back like he's doing a comedy double take
jayaimless
I'd say throw something at it but that spider might be the only way to send for help. Play along, maybe he's friendly.
definitelynotatimetraveler
I nicknamed him Bevin. Bevin isn't talking atm but I think he understood my asking him to get my phone and calling my wife.

If he does come back tell Bevin I will let the next 5 spiders I see get away for his selfless effort.

MrBananaBeak
"Improves function of internal organs" yeah, citation fucking needed.
hitshappens
Or you could just do 28 of them and see how smoothly you poop.
MrBananaBeak
Think I need more than little anecdotes like that. If it's that simple, it should also be that simple to study and document.
hitshappens
It is simple, but noone wants to do surya namaskar regiments. They're not as "fun" as western yoga
MrBananaBeak
Those that do should do studies on them then to document its benefits when compared to western yoga.
hitshappens
Western yoga basically has the same benefits of stretching when done properly in addition to stress reduction. Studies have been done (1/2)
loseit7000
They've done a lot of evidence based research on yoga. Don't imply there isn't any, if you haven't looked. There's a ton
hitshappens
(3/3) indians. About 200-300 regularly do surya namaskar. Those people are all in great physical shape, and are slim, but strong as hell
hitshappens
(2/2) on that. The benefit is minimal however when compared to regular exercise. In my personal experience, I know more than 1000 (3/3)

Do you have a hard time imagining that continual squeezing and massaging of the bowels can have an effect on the bowels? not hard to grok

There's a lot of evidence based research for yoga. Please look it up if you need to in order to feel comfortable.

does wringing the water out of a spong reduce the amount of water in a sponge? I need a scientist to tell me...
ilPino
Now replace "sponge" with "poo" and tell me if the problem has in some way become more dificult.
ilPino
that's exactly the point im making, why do you need HARDPROOF of somthing that is so obvious?
MrBananaBeak
Because many things appear logical on the surface but in fact turn out not to be true.

*benefits of any moderate stretch and exercise routine
NotACanadian
all aboard the woo woo train
JustLetMeInAlreadyFFS
Its another one of those "its just basic stretching but with spiritual bullshit tacked in" things.
HypostaticUnion
I don't think that. I just think we need to be honest that this isn't just a yoga thing. Because yoga ties you to a "an expert" (1/2)
HypostaticUnion
...but stretching and exercising can be done by anyone.
hitshappens
with proper breathing, surya namaskar acts like cardio and strength training, so you get high level benefits from both types of regimens
cavedoge
Mate the only way this could improve strength, is if you take it up as a stretch routine to go with your ACTUAL strength training.
cavedoge
Or you are inactive and this is the only exercise you get. Even then you will plateau in a month.
hitshappens
It improves muscular endurance, which means you can do higher loads of work for a longer period of time. In conjunction with a (1/2)
hitshappens
(2/2) weight training regimen, it drastically improves the power of your lifts.
cavedoge
I wholeheartedly agree, as per my first comment. This routine alone however is going to have pretty negligible strength benefits.
fuck123456789
how would it impover the function of internal organs? i need scientific studies on that
bortlp
It's exercise, doesn't all exercise do that?
loseit7000
It's a physical massage on the organs.
fuck123456789
what
ilPino
Can you not read the sentence? Activating your core muscles squeezes the liver, kidneys and intestines. -last one makes your poo move faster
loseit7000
Yoga/exercise involves physical twisting of the torso and thus is a physical manipulation of the organs. Simple science
fuck123456789
can i get some studies on this?
loseit7000
Yup. Feel free to google it. In fact, you don't need my permission to go get educated.
FlatPlutoSociety
Ignore the woo and think of yoga as exercise. It has tons of great effects on the body and mind... just like all forms of healthy exercise.
fuck123456789
can i just do regular exercise?

Absolutely! Although yoga really is just regular exercise. It's stretching and cardio. Do whatever you want as long as you're active. :-)

It improves blood flow and overall oxygenation if you do it in the morning. The first sign is you become really regular.

I'm still not entirely sure HOW this works, but it absolutely has worked for me.

It's a really organized way of working your muscles while improving circulation to them to improve functioning. Simple but effective

Do 28 in the morning. Breathe in on poses where you face up, breathe out on poses where you face down. Hold each pose for 2 seconds

so just do exercise and you are healthier? just any old exercise and stretching, no way yoga is the only one that does this
hitshappens
Asanas (which is what the idea of yoga is to westerners) have been developed by people doing them for a long time to figure out what's (1/2(
hitshappens
(2/2)good and what sucks. Yea, you could try to figure it out yourself, but only a fool learns for himself when others have already learned
hitshappens
Also, different exercises do different things. This works every active muscle in your body.
