Running is a sport that is increasing the pace and speed of our body in space. Since ancient times it was thought that sport was harmful, but there have been several studies that show otherwise. Therefore I tell you the benefits: Jogging decreased levels of body fat, which is possible to lose weight because they spend enough calories and this forces the body to pull the lipid stored in fat cells, using them as a source of energy. So we went down in weight. When we run, our body secretes substances that are called endorphins that act on the nervous system giving a feeling of extreme relaxation and also a feeling of being free and strong. This is important because it eliminates the stress and boredom and the desire to win power.
Furthermore, when we run a healthy and regularly without a great physical waste, we allow our muscles develop better by an increase in the number of mitochondria in the cells. It also serves to prevent the loss of stiffness because exercise affects the synovial fluid bath. More benefits, for example, when we sweat eliminate many toxins that to do so could attack our body and delaying aging. Running improves the circulatory system because it allows the heart to get bigger by extension of the walls of the ventricles, allowing greater flexibility of the arteries by increasing CADIAC pulse, and increased vascularization of all areas of the body.

The meditation practice describes a state of concentrated attention on an external object, thought, consciousness itself, or the actual state of concentration. The word “meditation” comes from the Latin meditatio, which originally indicated a type of intellectual exercise.

The kriya yoga is a set of techniques for meditation, which include pranayama (yogic breathing). According to Mahavatar Babaji, his first diffuser, kriya yoga is similar to raja yoga. The Kriya Yoga is described by its practitioners as an ancient system of yoga revived in 1861 by Mahavatar Babaji through his disciple Lahiri Mahasaya. The system consists of a series of techniques of pranayama designed to rapidly accelerate spiritual development and create a deep state of peace and union with God. Yogananda says in his books that to achieve and experience the state of samadhi you need the absolute cessation of all movement and activity of the body, stopping the breathing, brain activity, and metabolism.

The viniasa ashtanga yoga is a type of yoga popularized in the twentieth century by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois (1915-2009), who learned from his Satguru Krishnamachari (1888-1989). KrishnaNama told his disciple Jois, who had learned this yoga for seven years with his master Rama Mohan Brahmachari in the Himalayas. Brahmachari taught to memorize the text of an ancient Sanskrit text, the Yoga Karunta, which would have been written by the ancient sage Vamana Rishi. Krishna Nama Acharia, when in 1924 he left to his own guru, began researching this mysterious Karunta Yoga. After extensive research, found a copy (written in grape leaves) in the library of the University of Calcutta. Unfortunately, shortly after being found, the manuscript was completely eaten by ants and Krishnamarcharia could not preserve it.

Hatha yoga is a type of yoga known for its practice of asanas or postures, the muscles that provide firmness and elasticity. It is based on ?gamas Tantric, unlike the raja yoga, which is based on the Vedas. The hatha yoga is one of the most widespread methods of yoga throughout the world. The hatha yoga is based on a series of postures, called asanas, which aims to ensure that the body is suitable for meditation. The creator of hatha yoga was the teacher or Mahdeva Shiva Nat (as his disciples, an incarnation of Lord Shiva), born near Arunachala in Tamil Nadu (southern India), who’s disciple was Matsyendra Nath. These two characters would have been historic, to which were later added the mythical creation of yoga by the god Shiva (Mahadeva is considered that Nath was the principal founder of Buddhism, Mahayana and Vajrayana Tantric).
