Yoga is best described as a way of living. It is a comprehensive workout of not just UR body but mind as well. Besides breathing exercises and postures, it’s a lifestyle commitment that can completely transform UR life! Practicing yoga can to a great extent, treat psychosomatic, psychic and somatic diseases as well. This is because yoga comprises not just physical postures but breath work (pranayama) and meditation too. It can change all aspects of UR life. Strive to kick start UR day with yoga. Make it the most important one hour of UR everyday life!
Yoga is 2500 years old but has evolved since then. In today’s day and age, yoga is practiced more for the body than it is for the mind. It’s more about the movement and stretching. The practice of yoga creates a balance in the nervous and endocrine system and directly influences the systems and organs of the body. Besides rejuvenating the system, yoga can help enhance immunity and increase cellular regeneration. It also revitalizes the organs in the body and improves the way they function.
Yoga basically deals with stress. If U go to the doctor and if you are suffering with something that the doctor cannot understand – you will be advised to practice yoga. It is widely recommended by physicians because it has a huge impact on the physical and the mental health of an individual.
Yoga deals with stress in two ways. One is through the breath and the other is by activating the parasympathetic nervous system. By just breathing consciously, U can bring down UR stress. When stress levels are down, the entire body gets calm which in turn sends more blood flow to all the organs. Practicing yoga regularly increases blood flow to the digestive organs and excretory organs. It helps them to function correctly. Yoga boosts immunity and also keeps away disease and any kind of inflammation.
Diseases originate in UR mind first. When you are stressed, UR flow of energy is affected at the physiological level. This results in psychosomatic diseases like diabetes, asthma, high blood pressure etc. Regular meditation and breathing exercises encourages you to have a calm mind. It makes UR mind resilient and helps prevent depression, migraines and so on.
When U practice yoga you feel more aligned. Essentially, the entire idea of yoga is to move the spine in different directions and to coordinate UR breathe with the movement. In addition to stretching and bending, yoga requires strength. The regular practice of yoga strengthens U physically and enhances UR power of endurance that preps U up better for everyday tasks.

Yoga helps increase UR metabolism too. Yoga brings together a physical and mental discipline and helps U achieve a state where U feel more focused and relaxed. You can bring this benefit into action by practicing yoga on a daily basis.
Yoga makes UR mind clutter-free and calm. Regular practice of yoga enhances UR capacity of being focused on the task at hand. You can direct UR concentration to the point where you want it to go. With yoga you can train UR mind to become more aware and better focused. U will also be able to process information more accurately.
Yoga can help provide relief from anxiety. Anxiety is the result of tense muscles and poor posture. The practice of yoga helps you take deep breaths, relaxes UR muscles and improves posture. Doing all of this contributes to reduced stress and anxiety.
Yoga also has a positive effect on UR skin due to the many types of postures and asanas like pranayama breathing techniques. By inculcating these into UR daily routine you can boost blood circulation in UR body. Since practising asanas help reduce stress levels, it helps you steer clear of acne and eczema.
