YOGA : SOUL EXERCISE

Yoga is a form of physical, mental, and spiritual practices or disciplines which originated in India in the ancient times Yoga possesses a rich philosophical heritage. One of the most important elements that separates yoga from other types of philosophies is that in yoga we are actually given the tools to learn and develop our own state of consciousness, so we perceive more clearly and experience ourselves more clearly on many levels . Yoga helps in improving our life style and there are many benefits of yoga like physical and mental wellness, helps in weight management, increases the strength and flexibility, reduces stress, improves joint health, reduces back pain, improves the natural immunity and prepares the body to fight against diseases, improves the breathing and blood circulation, helps to sleep sound, improves concentration and memory, prepares to face life positively. Though Yoga is widely known for its flexible postures, Yoga is much more than a physical practice. Yoga is for everyone ! For men, women, for kids, adults, seniors, for people of all colors, size, religions, countries. Yoga is a gift to anyone who aspires for physical and mental wellness. In India we celebrate national yoga day on 21^nd June. In a world full of responsibilities, long working, and busy schedules, we usually forget the utmost important thing – To be happy. Many a time due to the imbalance between work life and personal life, doing exercise is neglected and a proper lifestyle is not followed. There are a lot of Asana that strengthen the back and improve the back pain and might also improve the posture of the body Many asans like ustrasana (camel pose), chakrasana (wheel pose), paschimottanasana (forward bend pose) etc. Yoga is a way of life and if we practice yoga atleast for 30 minutes per day then we would be able to raise above petty issues and will be able to view everything in a balance way.
