Yoga is one of India's wonderful gifts to mankind. It builds
up a store of physical health through the practice of a system
of exercises called asanas, which keep the body cleansed and
fit. Yoga stresses on the importance of exercise for the speedy
removal of toxins for blood circulation and for the smooth functioning
of all internal processes.
Having dealt with the physical side of life, Yoga turns to the
mental. It concentrates on different breathing exercises or
techniques to quieten the mind.
The word Yoga comes from the Sanskrit root "yuj" meaning
to join or yoke, implying the integration (or joining) of every
aspect of a human being. Another frequently used definition
of yoga is that of a union of the individual spirit with the
universal, since that is considered to be its highest aim.
Towards physical well-being
Yoga is an ineffable art, which however, is supported by a very
logical philosophy. Only by practice does one experience the
effects the various asanas and pranayamas have on the body,
mind and spirit. Why the body becomes supple and efficient through
yoga can be easily understood. Why and how yoga affects the
mind is not so immediately apparent. |
