Yoga, an ancient practice, is beyond twisting and bending of the body, it is about realising your true self. The goal of Yoga practice is to physically challenge yourself (asanas), without feeling overwhelmed. The focus is on the breath (pranayama) while the mind is accepting and calm.
The beauty of Yoga is that whether one is young or old, overweight or fit, reaps its benefits. Yoga has the power to calm the mind and strengthen the body in the present-day busy life.
Yoga is for everyone. It is the answer to all the questions that arise in the mind.
Is Yoga for wellness?
Is Yoga a good way to lose weight?
Is Yoga good to improve emotional health?
Is Yoga helpful for people with chronic diseases?
Is Yoga good for children?
And many more.
We spend almost the entire time being on autopilot mode, checking off things on our to-do list. Yoga helps people slow down yet accomplish much more with less effort. It helps to be mindful and enjoy the moments of this beautiful journey of life.
Experts attribute the motivation to practice yoga to its combination of physical and emotional health benefits.
It is considered a safe form of physical activity for everyone when performed properly, under the guidance of a qualified instructor. However, as with any form of physical activity, injuries can occur, like sprains and strains.
The word ‘yoga’ in Sanskrit means ‘union’. The ultimate goal of yoga is to align the body and the mind by keeping the focus on the breath.
The benefits of yoga are uniformly positive, although each one experiences its distinct results over a while (gradual or immediate).
