不同宗教信仰的人们：基督教、伊斯兰教、印度教、犹太教，包括无神论者，练习瑜伽，因为瑜伽能带来诸多的利益，并且丰富我们的生命。很多人练习各种瑜伽姿势，进行身体上的锻炼，因为全世界的很多医生都认为瑜伽能带来健康。

     And, too, many millions practice some form of yoga meditation in order to contact their higher consciousness, or commune deeply with the Lord. Many who practice yoga meditation are deeply religious, while many others who practice these meditations are agnostics seeking verifiable experience and personal transformation.
    同时，很多瑜伽练习者进行不同形式的瑜伽冥想，以便去接触更高层次的意识，或者与上帝进行深入的交流。很多练习瑜伽冥想的人有着强烈的宗教信仰，而也有很多练习冥想的人没有宗教信仰，他们是为了去体验一种可以验证的经历，或者实现自我的转变。
     A yoga devotee strives to live in an ongoing and progressively more joyous state of harmony. Body, mind, and emotions are brought into atonement with one another and with one's soul, or spiritual self. The devotee finds this ongoing state of harmony not only to be a wonderful way to live but an essential factor in becoming enlightened living in higher consciousness.

一个真正热爱瑜伽的人，会不断努力，逐渐达到一种和谐的愉悦状态。身体、大脑和情感包括灵魂，或者说灵性自我互相补充。瑜伽爱好者会发现这种不间断的和谐状态，不仅是一种很好的生活方式，也是想要在更高的意识层次上受到启迪的必要因素。

     The average person lives in a mental hurricane, with a mind so turbulent that the usual concentration span is Most people live in a storm of ideas: constructive thoughts war against biases, superstitions, fantasies, unremitting memories, dreads, doubts, and occasional frustrating blankness. People become so accustomed to the hurricane they think it’s normal! And, the emotions are storming within almost everyone, too. Anger, jealousy, grief, fear, and guilt create anxieties which often drown peace, joy, and love.

普通的人生活在一种精神的风暴之中，他们的思想是不稳定的，积极的、建设性的思想不停的和偏见、迷信、幻觉、回忆、恐惧、疑惑以及偶尔令人沮丧的空白进行斗争。人们习惯了这种风暴，觉得很正常。这些情感也几乎在每个人的身上交织。愤怒、嫉妒、悲伤、害怕和罪恶感，它们产生焦虑，从而赶走宁静、喜悦和爱。
     Yogis discover and affirm life's great possibilities by freeing the body of tension and the ravages of stress, and progressively releasing mental and emotional turbulence. The resulting well being is often considered miraculous; and the new unity which occurs between the individual and others is like the dawn of a new life. If yoga appeals to you, you will need to find a good teacher who can help you practice correctly and thrive. No book on yoga can replace personal coaching, but hopefully your study of this topic will give you a basic understanding of the great enrichment yoga studies will offer you when the opportunity arises. There are eight main kinds of yoga, each having its own distinct form of meditation. Generally you practice yoga based on your distinct nature. If you seek to be a yoga meditator and use yoga as a means for the discovery of higher consciousness, you must first examine your own qualities.

瑜伽修行者发现和确定生命的这种可能性，通过释放身体的紧张和压力，逐渐解除思想和情感上的这种不稳定状态。这种好的结果通常被认为很神奇，而发生在个人与他人之间的这种新的联系就像是使人获得了新生。如果你被瑜伽所吸引，你需要找一位好老师，他能帮助你正确的练习，使你成长。任何一本关于瑜伽的书籍都不能替代教练对你的指导，但是你关于这一主题的学习会使你对于瑜伽有一个基本的认识，当你练习的机会来临时，这种学习会丰富你对瑜伽的认识。一共有八大主要的瑜伽类型，每一种都有其自身不同的冥想形式。总的来说，练习瑜伽要根据你自身不同的情况和基础。如果你想成为一名瑜伽冥想者，通过瑜伽去发现更高层次的意识状态，你必须首先检查一下你自己的品质。

So in the end I can say that and maybe u also can feel that Yoga is not a religion, it’s just a life style, a science a peaceful way to know exactly who u are?

最后，我可以说，或者你自己也可以感觉到，瑜伽不是宗教。它只是一种生活方式，一种确切认识你自己的科学的平和的方式。

So enjoy the peaceful life with Yoga

所以，练习瑜伽，享受宁静生活。
