To start practicing yoga, you only need comfortable clothes, a yoga mat (if you practice online) and curiosity. I recommend that the clothes are not tight on the body, preferably made of cotton and light in color. Yoga is practiced barefoot.
The sound „OM” is a mantra or vibration, which is traditionally chanted at the beginning and end of yoga sessions. OM is composed of three letters, A, U and M, which symbolize the impure body, speech and mind of the practitioner and by chanting the sound OM (AUM) we achieve a state of purity in mind, body andsoul. The sound „OM” is an expression of universal harmony and a powerful tool for self-knowledge and spiritual transformation.
Yoga is more than just physical postures. Even within the physical practice or asanas, yoga is unique because we connect the movement of the body and the fluctuations of the mind to the rhythm of our breath.
Connecting the mind, body, and breath helps us direct our attention inward. Through this process of inward attention, we learn to recognize our habitual thought patterns without labeling, judging, or trying to change them. We thus become more aware of our experiences in each moment, and the body becomes much more flexible by practicing yoga, and the mind too..

Nirvana Yoga is a system of yogic practices that supports any person in physical, energetic and spiritual transformation. The difference from other yoga systems is that through the practice of Nirvana Yoga one receives a flow of healing energy on a physical, mental and spiritual level, supported by the Master of the Nirvana Yoga System, Purna Guru Madhavacharyan, who reached the ultimate stage of human evolution in 2005.
Sometimes in the practice of Nirvana Yoga, mantras are chanted. Chanting mantras is not specific to religion. Mantras are yogic chants that are either in Sanskrit or in sounds, which have no meaning, but emit vibrations through which you can reach a meditative state of mind, by changing the frequency at the brain level.
