For Haseena Nazar, yoga is just an exercise that is beneficial to mental and physical health. She sweeps away the notion of yoga being a religious activity or affiliated to any particular religion.
"Yoga helps a person to have a healthy mind and thoughts, and this in turn will have a positive effect on the body," Haseena, an instructor for seven years at Art of Living Abu Dhabi, said.
Here's how you practise yoga as you fast (As told by Amanda Duncan, co-founder of Phoenix Rising) June 21 is not just the longest day of the year or summer solstice (also known as midsummer), it is also the International Day of Yoga. And as we are now in the final stretch (pun unintended) of Ramadan, we are giving some tips on how to get the most from yoga or Pilates programme throughout Ramadan and beyond. > Consider the type of yoga class Explore slightly different styles of pilates or yoga classes. If individuals usually practise a more fast-paced Vinyasa style, perhaps during Ramadan it might be a time to explore a slower-paced, more restorative class such as Hatha or Yin. > Time of day When fasting, energy levels are likely to be at their lowest during the afternoon, so it might be wise to consider a gentler-paced class first thing in the morning, just before breaking the fast at Iftar or even later evening at least two hours after Iftar. > Practical poses After Iftar, incorporating twisting poses into a practice is a great way to aid the digestive process. If fasting, consider avoiding strenuous poses like headstands but techniques like The Hundred in Pilates or rolling like a ball are a great way to get the oxygenated blood flowing round the body which can help with energy levels. > More meditation Often those who are fasting take the opportunity to increase their meditation time during any practice which allows an extra chance to be present and thankful and ensure mindfulness throughout the holy month. > Breathing throughout day Deep, slow rhythmic breath can draw energy from deep within ourselves and focus the mind to overcome mental challenges people might be experiencing when their blood sugar and energy levels are lower and their normal daily routines are very different. |
