Ballet Exercise And Yoga Poses For Good Health

When fat gets accumulated in body tissues, it results in one’s body acquiring an uneven shape and curvature. There may also be genetic causes for the same. Out of the various exercise regimes, diet plans and other methods, yoga and ballet are found to be extremely effective in order to get back into shape.

Ballet movements have evolved over a period of 200 years and are specially meant to enhance beauty, posture and grace. Strengthening and increasing the agility and flexibility of the body through exercise is the means to achieve that. The usual stretches and exercises aim at strengthening external organs such as muscles, joints, tissues and ligaments. They energize the body, relax tight joints and lengthen muscles. Bare exercises are meant to strengthen a specific part of the body.

On the other hand, yoga is a total fitness regime which ensures not just physical fitness, but mental and spiritual well-being too. It provides a strong resistance to pressure. The asanas (postures) regulate the functioning of not only the external but also the internal organs of the body and its systems such as the respiratory, circulatory, digestive and others. Pranayama (breath regulating process) helps in correcting and overcoming not just the physical problems, but also mental conditions such as stress. Meditation helps in not only managing stress, but in removing negative feelings and impulses, and helps one to become more positive, peaceful and calm.

There are various asanas meant to bring the body back into shape. The more popular ones are Salabhasana, Dhanurasana, Sarvangasana and others. Tibetan yoga exercises developed by the Lamas for activating and balancing the Chakras (specific points in the body) help one to get back into shape. They also help to counter and sometimes even reverse the effects of aging such as the sagging of the face and body, and improve one’s vitality and morale.

Ballet exercises like most other exercises have to be performed regularly in order to maintain the results. Its advantages are lost after a period of time once they are discontinued. In case of yoga, once the desired results are achieved, the same regime may not remain necessary, and one may continue with fewer sets of exercises performed a fewer number of times and the resulting advantage has greater longevity.

One needs a certain level of physical fitness, health and capacity to perform ballet exercises, whereas some or the other form of yoga is possible and helpful to people of all ages, irrespective of levels of physical fitness or health.
