What is Yoga? Yoga is a way of life, an
integrated system of education for the body, mind and inner spirit. This art of
right living was perfected and practiced
in India thousands of years ago
but, since yoga deals with universal truths, its teachings are as valid today
as they were in ancient times.
Yoga can be practiced by anyone regardless of
age,gender, or physical ability. It will enhance your studies and reduce
stress, and help you to enjoy your free time. If you do suffer from any
specific medical condition it is best to check with your doctors before taking
up asana practice.
Asana benefits:
Physical benefits focuses on increasing and
maintaining flexibility of the spine, toning and rejuvenating the nervous
system. The gentle stretching, twisting and bending movements bring flexibility
to the other joints and muscles of the body, as well as massaging the glands
and organs. Circulaion is also improved, ensuring a rich supply of nutrients
and oxygen to all the cells of the body.
Mental benefits: steady postures free the mind
from disturbances caused by physical movement, promoting steadiness of mind,
balanced emotions, and an improved outlook on life.
Pranic benefits: Asana work in much the same ways
as acupuncture or shiatsu, but the yogic system of pranic balancing is more
subtle. To gain the benefit, you must practice asana regular over a period of
time, but once you feel the benefits,
they will last longer. The different poses put pressure on vaious points,
purifing and strenthening the nadis.
