Yoga is a technique used to prevent physical and mental illness, cleanses the impurities of the body thus bringing about total relaxation.THE HEALTH BENEFITS
OF YOGA
Yoga is a therapeutic tool used to help heal the body on all levels no matter
what style of yoga you practice. The asanas as well as pranayama are very powerful
tools that will enable you to gain more strength, flexibility, and a stillness
of the mind.
The postures are used to free the body from disease, increasing suppleness,
and increasing the flow of blood to the internal organs and keeping them healthy.
Many of the asanas give full expansion of the chest wall improving the breathing.
The inverted postures have benefits on both the circulatory and respiratory
systems. Those suffering from arthritis benefit from the weight bearing postures.
Postures are used to tone and strengthen the muscular system as well.
By Practicing pranayama we learn to be still in the postures for when the restlessness
of the mind is stilled through the practice of yoga, the spirit finds fulfillment
and joy and peace.
The important thing is not how far you get into any give pose, but what are
we learning about ourselves while we are getting there.
