LET'S KEEP IT REAL - YOGA IS FOR EVERYONE

The typical perception of Yoga has shifted a great deal from generation to generation. To a great extent, by and large, people think that yoga is a physical system with a spiritual component. They also are led to believe, that it is the cure-all for all the problems. On the contrary, Yoga is in reality a spiritual system with a physical component. Unfortunately, the view that Yoga is a physical exercise program is the dominant viewpoint held worldwide. The main purpose of Yoga is to create a balance between the physical body, mind, and energy. It should be a perfect marriage between body and mind. The ten best reasons why one should practice Yoga are:

1. Yoga for stress relief

2. Yoga for Pain Relief

3. Yoga for Better Breathing

4. Yoga for flexibility

5. Yoga for increased strength

6. Yoga for weight management

7. Yoga for improved blood circulation

8. Yoga for cardiovascular conditioning

9. Yoga for focus on the present (Mindfulness)

10. Yoga for inner peace.
