Yoga is a way of life

Yoga is Divine and about attaining a blissful state of being. Through the development of your body, mind and psychic potencies, you gain physical strength, beauty, health and spiritual consciousness. Yoga techniques — Asana, Kriya, Pranayama, Bhavana calm the mind, offers clarity of thought, objectivity, and an overall balance in your personality.

The word yoga is derived from Sanskrit ‘Yuj’- which means ‘to unite or integrate’. It is a practical method for making your life meaningful, useful and noble. The practice of yoga helps your body become active and vibrant. Most importantly, yoga helps to keep your body and mind in tune with the essence of your soul, and the beauty is in the fine blend of the three.

To attain this harmonious blend, constant practice without interruption and effort (abhyasa) is required. With the right attitude and determination, you must reach what I call, a certain climax, in your effort. When we practice yoga, we have to be aware of what we are experiencing, whether certain feeling are being generated. If we do not get into the spirit of whatever is being done the impact is lost.

Lets Do YOGA

Why do yoga?

The short answer is that yoga makes you feel better. Practicing the postures, breathing exercises and meditation makes you healthier in body, mind and spirit. Yoga lets you tune in, chill out, shape up — all at the same time.

For many people, that’s enough of an answer. But there’s more if you’re interested.

For starters, yoga is good for what ails you. Specifically, research shows that yoga helps manage or control anxiety, arthritis, asthma, back pain, blood pressure, carpal tunnel syndrome, chronic fatigue, depression, diabetes, epilepsy, headaches, heart disease, multiple sclerosis, stress and other conditions and diseases. What’s more, yoga:

Improves muscle tone, flexibility, strength and stamina

Reduces stress and tension

Boosts self esteem

Improves concentration and creativity

Lowers fat

Improves circulation

Stimulates the immune system

Creates sense of well being and calm.

We have long known the benefits of yoga, and another study confirms once again that the ancient practice is great for stress reduction. One of the other more obvious benefits of yoga is flexibility, but it also increases strength, improves posture, decreases back pain, and improves lung capacity — an unsung benefit of the practice, especially for endurance athletes.
