Of all the varieties of spiritual practices, I am close to Ashtanga Yoga, because she powerfully pumps consciousness and helps to go out on a completely different, qualitatively new level of spiritual development. To live in accordance with the philosophy of this direction means to put in order and your body, and thoughts, increase the level of energy and start allowing themselves more.
8 principles of ashtang yoga
The author of the system did the emphasis on the fact that, to achieve the result and maximum productivity, a person must pass eight stages of Ashtang Yoga. It is very important to stick to this sequence to achieve success.
The first two stages are preparatory:
- Yama. In the course of this stage, a person develops such qualities as self-control, learns to overcome the tension and trains the spirit of self-conformity. In the first step, it is necessary to take responsibility for your thinking and behavior. To deal with things that pull down and remove from development, with vices. It is also necessary to learn to interact with the society harmoniously and efficiently. Yama symbolizes the death of old convictions and restrictions, this is cleansing from all extra.
- Niyama. The second stage of preparations for the following, important stages of development. In the process of Niyama, a person trains a self-discipline, learns to relax and falls on the path of spiritual self-improvement and development.

It is very important at the beginning of these stages in order to continue not to go along the false path. The person is cleaned from the load of the past, installations and restrictions, to open the consciousness of the new rules of behavior, effective thinking and productive life.
The following six steps are characterized as follows:
- Asana is a period of transition to the development of the soul and body. At this stage, a person learns asians - special positions of the body, poses for yoga. Asana help to learn concentrations, "pump out" energy, add to man of vitality. It is important to understand how to breathe in the time of classes. Stage Results: Studying of psychosomatic causes of diseases, removal of mental and physical stress, cleansing and rejuvenation of the body as a whole.
- Pranayma is the next level, involving energy with the help of breathing exercises. A person learns to feel its energy potential and manage it using vitality in the right direction for the realization of the goals and fulfillment of desires.
- Pratyhara is the doctrine of the management of the "Indriors". These are limiting installations and beliefs laid in the subconscious of a person who hold it tightly, preventing progress. Yoga learns to manage these entities to go beyond their capabilities, takes the first step in the knowledge of his spiritual world. There is a sense of awakening and abundance from the material world. The skill does not respond to external stimuli, which interfere, distract and dismiss focus of attention from the necessary things.
- Dharana - the stage on which yogi continues to train a concentration, learns awareness, training constantly "live in the moment." At this stage, a sense of connection with God, the creator, the Universe (depending on which he believes) is.
- Dhyana - meditations aimed at expanding the boundaries of consciousness. The goal is to free themselves from the borders, frames, shackles, learn to notice around themselves many opportunities for self-development and progress.
- The samadhi-finite goal of self-development, enlightenment to which everyone strives. This is the highest degree of spirituality when a person feels a strong connection with his soul and God, he feels invisible support and understands how to get the help of higher strength.
