Yoga for Healthy Being

Each and everyone of us today is suffering from some or the other ailment whether physical or psychological. In this stressful and over complicated world we reside in today, stress seems to be unavoidable, leading to degradation of our physical and mental health. We struggle everyday to keep our mind calm and our peace intact. Amidst these psychologically fluctuating times, the need for Yoga impounds and resounds for healthy body and mind. If you are looking for a healthy being, YOGA IS THE ANSWER!




So what is yoga? Originated in India, Yoga is a physical, mental, and spiritual practice or discipline. In Vedic Sanskrit, yoga means "to add", "to join", "to unite", or "to attach" in its most common literal sense. A few minutes daily routine of breathing exercises, body postures and meditation can work wonders in making us unite to our spiritual or peaceful being. The essence of yoga is the union of mind, body and soul in maintaining a balance of our being or existence, which we have forgotten in these fast moving times. One of the primary philosophies of yoga is the importance of breathing. It is that very breathing that sets our body and all its functions in a harmonious rhythm and acts as a constant in making us unite with our source.

Try close your eyes for a few minutes, sit upright and concentrate on your breathing as you inhale and exhale, you will instantly feel a little calmer. The asanas or body postures, helps gaining our flexibility and healing our body from inside. Different postures are meant for different healing purposes. Meditation, on the other hand acts as getting back to where we came from. It has been practised by sages and hermits in the ancient times to realise who they were and their purpose of life. Few hours of meditation every day serves as igniting our soul and gaining power to solve the question of WHO AM I?



Practising yoga is not confined to any age. Practising yoga for students is very beneficial. The younger generation is more vulnerable to the side affects of these fast paced times westernization, technology outburst and a lot of other things have made the younger generation very distractive with no aim in life. Practising yoga helps in greater concentration, stress management and boosts both physical and emotional well being. Also practising yoga from an early age makes body both physically and mentally strong to deal with new challenges. It further helps them to discover themselves and their abilities to take more focussed decisions in life.

SO, Yoga is like a holistic package for healthy mind, body and soul. A daily routine of exercise, breathing and meditation can work wonders for the well-being of the body.  The more you practice, the more aware you become of yourself and the surroundings. It opens the way to improved concentration, coordination, reaction time, memory and well being.



So, for a healthy being lets adopt the yoga way!!
