Importance of Yoga!

Yoga is a way of life and if we incorporate yoga in our life slowly and make in an integral part of our life, we would be in a peaceful state in our everyday life. We would be able to take decisions without getting clouded by our emotions. We would think and act with complete attention, focus and awareness.

‘Stress’ is a buzzword of the modern world. And stress has become and acceptable way of life today, which is surely not at all good for our physical and mental health. Yoga seeks to replace this stress with calmness and peace. That’s the importance of Yoga. Yoga opens up the blockages at our mind, body, breath and emotions level and takes us to a much higher plane of living.

                         

At the physical level, yoga asana seeks to remove blockages and rigidity and build strength over a period of time. Asana seeks to create new body patterns which enables the body to operate at its potential best by removing all impurities.

At the breath level, pranayama seeks to extend our breath so that prana or the life force, is not dissipated and slowly converges inside our body leading to high level of positive, clear state of mind.

 

Over a period of time, the deeper practice of meditation brings in complete clarity and calmness and enables one to step back from momentary pleasures and seek a deeper truth which would bring in the lasting joy and bliss.
