As society develops, people are attaching increasing importance to health and exercise. Of course, an increasing citizens start doing various sports when they have no business on weekends or holidays. Quite a few people like doing high intensity sports such as running, fitness, playing basketball. Others prefer regular exercise which is not fairly moderate such as dancing, tai chi, yoga. Personally, I would like to go for the second kind. Therefore, I went to practise yoga this weekend.

Yoga, as a very popular sport, has its unique connotation and charm. Most yoga enthusiasts are fascinated with it, not only because of its function of shaping effect, but also because it can relieve stress. I guess that's why so many stars like yoga. After all, there is never a sport that combines these two functions perfectly. With the exception of these, another reason that attracts so many persons to practise yoga is its diversity. Yoga includes so many types and different people fit different yoga types. More often than not, the nine most common types of yoga are Hatha yoga, Flow yoga, Iyengar yoga, Yin yoga, Astanga yoga, Hot yoga, Pilates, Double yoga and the yoga for pregnant woman.

This morning what we practice is Hatha yoga. Hatha yoga is also known as traditional yoga. In Hatha, the word "ha" means the sun, the "he" means the moon. It represents men and women, day and night, Yin and Yang and anything that is complementary to each other. Hatha yoga teaches us how to control our bodies and breathing. Moreover, it can make the body functions in order so that our mind is peaceful. What's more it is one of the most suitable for beginners--just like me.

Although yoga is a quiet way of sporting, it requires plenty of things such as strength, patience, balance force and control force. The key to practice well is insistence. Actually, no matter what kind of sports, we all need to keep doing so that we can really have a strong body.
