If you are novice to yoga, you may wish to take some hatha classes to know the basic poses. Even so, hatha is often slow in pace, thus if you are the type of person who loves to move around more, hatha may not be the right one for you. Search for a few of the most famous kinds of yoga over the internet and then find a beginner's class in that style. Even if you are already in great shape, take a few novice's classes to learn the poses and prevent the chance of injury. And while there are a lot of excellent yoga books and videos available, there is no alternative from learning straight from a good trainer in a yoga class. I urge you to look for a class and allow books and videos be an added support.

Calm Mind

Developed in India, yoga is a spiritual practice that has been evolving for the last 5,000 years or so. The original yogis were reacting, in part, to India's ancient Vedic religion, which emphasized rituals. The yogis wanted a direct spiritual experience -- one on one -- not symbolic ritual. So they developed yoga.
Yoga means "union" in Sanskrit, the classical language of India.

According to the yogis, true happiness, liberation and enlightenment comes from union with the divine consciousness known as Brahman, or with Atman, the transcendent Self. The various yoga practices are a methodology for reaching that goal.
In hatha yoga, for example, postures and breathing exercises help purify the mind, body and spirit so the yogi can attain union.

Pranayama breathing exercises help clear the nadis, or channels, that carry prana the universal life force, allowing prana to flow freely. When the channels are clear and the last block at the base of the spine has been opened, Kundalini rises through the spine, through the central channel called the sushumna-nadi, and joins the crown chakra. According to the tradition, the release of Kundalini leads to enlightenment and union.
