Yoga is the science of the unity of physical, mental and spiritual traditional rules.

Yoga was formed during the heyday of the ancient Aryan civilization, in different parts of the planet, in parallel, and then, after the collapse of the aforementioned civilization, it was preserved mainly in India and several other countries of the East.

The word yoga is primarily associated with the physical and meditative practices found in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism, but this does not mean that Yoga is originally a Hindu, Buddhist, or Jain system. The origin of the science of yoga (before it was set forth by the sage Patanjali in the work “Yoga Sutra”) are the four Vedas, the main authority othe thought of the ancient Aryan civilization: the Rigveda, the Yajurveda, the Samaveda and the Atharvaveda. The opinion that Yoga is a part of Hinduism and is one of the six Indian orthodox (orthodox) philosophical schools in Hinduism (the main purpose of which is exercise) does not follow from the historical facts about Yoga. In Jainism, Yoga is the integration of spiritual, mental and physical activities

Yoga (Dev. योग) is a Sanskrit word that has many meanings, but one of the main meanings is “Connection”. Connect with your inner world, people and nature around you. Yoga is a science, not just a sport, as it is often misrepresented in many sources. This style called “Ashtanga Yoga”, which, again in Sanskrit, means “Yoga of the Eight Limbs”, is a very broad and complex system of physical, mental and spiritual spheres, spheres that empower a person: body postures (Asanas), breathing exercises ( Pranayama), with the help of concentration exercises (Meditation) and many other means of self-knowledge. One of the main characteristics of this system is that the closer you get to it, the more enjoyable the process becomes, full of many adventurous moments of self-discovery.

Yama (standards of ethics, restraint, personal hygiene, norms of morality)
Niyama (self-organization, social and spiritual orientation)
Asana (poses suitable for the body)
Pranayama (regulation and control of breathing)
Pratyahara (cognition and control of the senses)
Dharana (concentration on a specific object)
Dhyana (meditation, establishing connection with the target-object of concentration)
Samadhi (a super-conscious state characterized by the qualities of enlightenment, in which we get closer to the elements of nature, the Universe, know ourselves and the world around us, to go on our Journey with more passion and honor, to be happy)

In Hindu philosophy (which is a cultural layer that arose much later than the creation and development of the Yoga system and does not express the whole truth about Yoga) the main directions of yoga are Jnana Yoga (Science), Bhakti Yoga (devotion or worship), Kriya Yoga (skill, also includes Hatha Yoga), Karma Yoga (of service) and Raja Yoga (integral, includes all four directions). In Hindu philosophy, it forms part of the Samkya tradition.

Various Hindu texts discuss yoga, particularly the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, the Shiva Samhita, and various Tantras. Translated from Sanskrit, yoga has many meanings. Formed from the Sanskrit root “yuj”. which means “to rule”, “to yoke” or “to unite”. Yoga is also translated as “union”, “unification”, “connection”, “meaning”, “integration”.
Outside of India, yoga is mainly associated with Hatha Yoga and its Asanas (physical exercises, postures), pranayama (breathing exercises) and meditation (concentration exercises).

Practitioners of yoga, followers of yoga philosophy, who attain a higher order of abilities are called Yogini (in the case of women) and Yogi (also Yogin) (in the case of men).

Story
In 1975, Amancio Ortega opened the first Zara store in Spain, in A Coruña, Galicia municipality. Ortegan originally named the store “Zorba” after the Greek movie “Zorba”, but after learning that there was a bar with the same name 2 blocks away, he rearranged the letters and called it “Zara”. The first store supplied cheap popular fashion items. Ortega opened additional stores throughout Spain. In the 1980s, Ortega changed the design, application of process information, manufacturing and delivery process.

The shops
There are more than 2,000 Zara stores in 88 countries around the world. Zara generally chooses the most expensive locations to open stores. Zara stores operate on “5th Avenue” in New York, Oxford Street in London, Serran Street in Madrid, Champs Elysées in Paris, Via del Corso in Rome, etc. As of October 31, 2014, there are 1,895 Zara brand stores worldwide.

Product quality
Every sale at Zara is an impulse buy. You buy clothes not because you love them, but because there is a chance that they will “wear out” in a few days. Many customers are satisfied that the quality of Zara’s products is quite good, even comparable to companies that offer similar but much more expensive products, such as Armani, Gucci or Prada.

Proprietary software and design process
Zara uses fashion analytics software in each of its hundreds of stores worldwide. Together with specially trained professional staff, this software optimizes Zara’s fast changeover cycles by recording in real time which products are being bought, in what quantities and where. This allows Zara to bring the latest fashion trends to life. It’s also interesting that Zara carries more designers in more stores than anyone else, often knowing which models will double and which will be phased out long before their competitors.

goods
The Zara store chain has women’s, men’s and children’s departments. New products are inspected, sorted, labeled and loaded into vehicles. In most cases, clothing is delivered within 48 hours. Zara produces more than 450 million products a year.

5 business tips from Zara founder Amancio Ortega

Money should not be the only goal.

Ortega grew up in a poor family. his father was a railway worker, his mother a maid. The money was enough only for basic needs. Ortega barely remembers the story when at the age of 12 he went to get bread with his mother and came back with nothing. The owner of the shop refused to lend goods to the family. Ortega decided that such situations should never happen again. He dropped out of school and started working.

Find your place.
“Since I was just starting to work, I had only one thought in my head. why not create something different from what is on the market? I clearly understood that it is necessary to fill the gap that exists in the field of textile production,” said Ortega in an interview with Telva magazine.

In 1963, Ortega entered the business for the first time. Then he was joined by his wife and later by his brother and his wife. They sewed and designed linens and robes that looked like designer goods. Ortega says that they did it because they couldn’t stand the fact that only the rich dress nicely.

Later, the founders of Zara began to travel around the world and visit exhibitions. Later, Ortega’s company was accused of copying, to which they responded by saying that they were using fashion trends, but it could not be considered copying. Several times Zara was even accused of direct copying.

Do everything quickly.
Speed ​​is key for Ortega. It does its best to work fast, ship fast and update models fast. Ortega introduced a strict rule at Zara, according to which a new range of clothes must be updated every 2 weeks and delivered to warehouses within 48 hours.

By offering new and original clothes to customers, Zara designers make sure that the product is sold out. If the product is not sold or is not in demand, it is immediately replaced by another product.

Ortega taught her clients to regularly update their wardrobe.

Everyone should stay in their place.
Ortega is convinced that in order for everything to be in order, every worker must stay in his place. His friends describe him as a person who is ready to work even on his own birthday. The businessman likes to keep everything under control, from the choice of models to the cleanliness of workplaces.

Ortega stepped down as CEO of Inditex in 2011 at the age of 75, but still goes to the office every day to meet with shareholders in person and organize consultations.

Keep moving forward.
In 1975, the first Zara store was opened. The number of shops in Spain has increased in a few months. In 1988, a store was already opened in Portugal.

In the 1908s, Ortega realized that one brand was not enough. The Pull&Bear brand was created. Then he bought some of Massimo Dutti’s shares. Bershka was founded in 1988, whose main target audience is youth. This range is regularly expanded.

Now Inditex is the largest brand in the clothing industry with 9,777 stores in 88 countries.

Fashion is the temporary dominance of a certain style in any area of ​​life or culture.

Defined as a style or type of dress, ideas, behavior, etiquette, lifestyle, art, literature, cuisine, architecture, entertainment, etc., prevalent in a society at a particular time. The concept of “fashion” is often presented as the most unstable and fleeting popularity. The term “fashion” also includes the preferred type of human body in a given era (for example, in the era of Peter Paul Rubens, a curvy body was valued, and in the early 21st century, a slender body is valued).

The concept of fashion, as a rule, implies an unstable, often changing position. If a phenomenon or object, being fashionable in a certain period of time, loses its freshness in the eyes of others, then it becomes unfashionable (old-fashioned). The desire to follow fashion has always attracted the attention of cartoonists.

An integral feature of fashion is the pursuit of novelty, the principle of novelty and fashionability of an object or phenomenon depends not so much on the objective time of its creation (emergence), but on the moment of gaining popularity and public recognition. Thus, electronic fashion gadgets can become technologically (or in terms of real consumer properties) non-unique devices, fashionable items of clothing, which, as a rule, have direct analogies from the past. Having lost the property of novelty, these things become old-fashioned for the consumer.

There are 2 trends in fashion. The first is imitation, which aims to imitate experience or good taste, the second is social pressure, the fear of being ridiculed outside society (fear of isolation). According to another classification, self-imitation is considered a form of biological protection.

Fashion in the modern world is seasonal (spring-summer and autumn-winter). Historically, early fashion may not have changed for thousands of years. M. year a. From the 4th millennium to the year a. In the 2nd millennium, Egyptian fashion did not change, it is considered a prime example of unchanging rules over the millennia. This position has been discussed many times.

The idea of ​​the invariance of historical costumes can be both a consequence of limited sources and a misunderstanding of the principle of development of traditional and historical fashion. The fashion industry is supported by a number of specialized magazines, social sites and blogs, specialized trend agencies and fashion houses.

Some facts about fashion

40 fashion weeks and 100 official events. Five of the most exciting fashion weeks take place in the fashion capitals of the world: Milan, New York, Berlin, London and Paris.

Until the 19th century, designers used small mannequins to show their clothing collections to customers. Because there were no real models at that time.

The first false eyelashes were invented by Hollywood silent film producer David Wark Griffith in 1916, who wanted to lengthen his actress’s eyelashes to make her look more beautiful, which she did with natural hair. Nowadays, women often do thick eyebrows, because thick eyebrows are very fashionable. Did you know that during the Renaissance it was customary to shave the eyebrows? For example, you will understand this if you look carefully at the painting of Mona Lisa.
