[[EN]]WHAT IS YOGA?[[ZH]]瑜伽是什麼？

[[en]]‘Yoga,’ a Sanskrit term means ‘to join, unite or yoke together’. The essential purpose of yoga is to bring the body, mind, and spirit into a harmonious whole.  If you are looking for a more flexible, strong body and a clear, positive heart and mind then yoga is for you. It’s a great form of exercise that will improve your fitness, as well as aid your mental wellbeing. The central methods of yoga are physical postures or ‘asanas’, breathing techniques or ‘pranayama’, and meditation. Yoga includes guidance on healthy lifestyle, eating habits, and mental attitude. Ayurvedic medicine is also part of the Yogic path to health and balance. [[zh]]「瑜伽」，乃梵文詞語，意指「聯合、結合或牽引在一起」。瑜伽的根本目的是將身體、心靈和靈性融合成一個和諧的整體。如果你渴望擁有更靈活、更強壯的身體，以及清晰、積極的內心和思維，那麼瑜伽正適合你。它是一種極優的運動形式，不僅可以提升你的健康，還能促進心理健康。瑜伽的核心方法包括身體姿勢或「瑜伽式」、呼吸技巧或「普拉那雅瑪」，以及所謂的禪修或冥想。此外，瑜伽還提供有關健康生活方式、飲食習慣和心態的指導。阿育吠陀醫學也是通向健康和平衡的瑜伽之一。

There are still more things that disturb our mental peace for instance; study and examination, family pressure and guidance, stress for the kids; getting jobs, intimate relationships, problems with spouse and family issues, and other issues like change of weather, your health, relationships with others, loneliness, and also societal competitions and pressure, stress, depression by sadness, indolent distraction, anger, jealousy, being busy, extreme attachment and bad habits. Because of these, depression and loneliness, pessimism, narrow-mindedness, insomnia and even thought of suicide happen. We can call this phenomenon the "sickness" of the era or the "sickness" of city life, or "sickness" of modern developments.

[[en]]The yoga view of the human body[[zh]]瑜伽對人體的觀點。

[[en]]The body is the vehicle for the development of wisdom, of spiritual awakening, and as such the body is held to be sacred in yoga. Mastery of the body is considered the foundation for spiritual progress. In yoga we learn to tune in to our body’s subtle energy flows and the life-giving rhythm of our breathing.  The idea is that by entering more deeply and subtly into our physical experience, we can become more connected with ourselves, more grounded, and less swayed by anxieties or neurotic cravings. Yoga offers an antidote to feelings of alienation, disconnection, and frenzy that characterizes much of our modern life.[[zh]]在瑜伽中，身體被視為是智慧和靈性覺醒的工具，因此它被稱為“神聖的殿堂”。對身體的掌握被認為是精神進展的基礎。在瑜伽中，我們學習調節身體微妙的能量流動和呼吸的生命節奏。這個觀念是通過更深入、更微妙地體驗我們的身體經驗，我們可以變得更加與自己連接，更加穩固，不容易受到焦慮或神經質渴望的影響。瑜伽提供了一種對抗疏離、斷裂和現代生活中普遍存在的狂熱情緒的解藥。

[[en]]I see it very important for human beings such as you and me, families and friends around us, to have a peaceful mind. Many wise people have said the happiness of your life depends on how peaceful your mind is. But, it is never easy to have a peaceful mind in today's very complicated and troubled societies.There are still more things that disturb our mental peace for instance; study and examination, family pressure and guidance, stress for the kids; getting jobs, intimate relationships, problems with spouse and family issues, and other issues like change of weather, your health, relationships with others, loneliness, and also societal competitions and pressure, stress, depression by sadness, indolent distraction, anger, jealousy, being busy, extreme attachment and bad habits. Because of these, depression and loneliness, pessimism, narrow-mindedness, insomnia and even thought of suicide happen. We can call this phenomenon the "sickness" of the era or the "sickness" of city life, or "sickness" of modern developments.[[zh]]我認為，像你和我這樣的人、我們周圍的家人和朋友，擁有平和的心靈非常重要。許多聰明的人都說你的生活幸福取決於你的內心有多平和。但是，在今天這個非常複雜和動盪的社會中，擁有平和的心靈並不容易。 仍然有更多事情會干擾我們的心靈平和，例如學習和考試、家庭壓力和指導、對孩子的壓力、找工作、親密關係、與配偶和家庭問題的問題，以及其他問題，如天氣的變化、健康、與他人的關係、孤獨，以及社會競爭和壓力、憂鬱、沮喪、懶散分心、憤怒、嫉妒、忙碌、極度附著和不良習慣。由於這些原因，憂鬱和孤獨、悲觀主義、狹隘的思維、失眠，甚至自殺的想法都會發生。我們可以稱之為時代的「疾病」或城市生活的「疾病」，或現代發展的「疾病」。
