Stress plays a major part in our lives these days when we have to tackle work and home life. Yoga seems to have become more popular all around the world in these recent years. Yoga through meditation works remarkably to achieve harmony and helps the mind work in synchronisation with the body. Stress affects every part of our physical and emotional system. And with the help of yoga, these things can be corrected.
At the physical level, yoga and its cleansing practices have proven to be extremely effective for various disorders.
Benefits of Yoga
Yoga is known to increase flexibility; yoga has postures that trigger the different joints of the body. Including those joints that are not acted upon with regular exercises routines.
Yoga also increases the lubrication of joints, ligament and tendons. The well-researched yoga positions exercise the different tendons and ligaments of the body.
It has also been found that the body which may have started doing yoga being a rigid one may experience a quite remarkable flexibility in the end on those parts of the body which have not been consciously worked upon.
Yoga also massages all organs of the body. Yoga is perhaps the only exercise that can work on through your internal organs in a thorough manner, including those that hardly get externally stimulated during our entire lifetime.
Yoga acts in a wholesome manner on the various body parts. This stimulation and massage of the organs, in turn, benefits us by keeping away disease and providing a forewarning at the first possible instance of a likely onset of disease or disorder. One of the far-reaching benefits of yoga is the uncanny sense of awareness that it develops in the practitioner of an impending health disorder or infection. This, in turn, enables the person to take pre-emptive corrective action
Yoga offers a complete detoxification of the body. It gently stretches the muscles and joints as well as massaging the various organs, yoga ensures the optimum blood supply to various parts of the body. This helps in the flushing out of toxins from every nook and cranny of your body as well as providing nourishment up to the last point. This leads to benefits such as
delayed ageing, energy and a remarkable zest for life.
Yoga is also an excellent way to tone your muscles. Muscles which have been flaccid and weak are repeatedly stimulated to shed excess fats and flaccidity. But these enormous physical benefits are just a “side effect” of this powerful practice. What yoga does is harmonise the mind with the body and these results in real quantum benefits. It is now an open secret that the will of the mind has enabled people to achieve extraordinary physical feats, which proves beyond doubt the mind and body
connection.
In fact, yoga compliments meditation, because of both work together in achieving the common goal of unity of mind, body and spirit which can lead to an experience of eternal bliss that you can only feel through yoga. The meditative practices through yoga help in achieving an emotional balance through detachment. This, in turn, creates a remarkable calmness and a positive outlook, which also has tremendous benefits on the physical health of the body.
