At the outset, we must understand what we can gain out of this wonderful practice.
|
|
At the physical level, yoga and its cleansing practices have proven to be extremely effective
|
|
for various disorders. To get a sampling of how yoga benefits health disorders, please visit
|
|
the Yoga Therapy section.
|
|
More importantly, yoga is extremely effective in:
|
|
Increasing Flexibility – yoga has positions that act upon the various joints of the body including
|
|
those joints that are never really on the ‘radar screen’ let alone exercised.
|
|
Increasing lubrication of the joints, ligaments and tendons – likewise, the well-researched yoga
|
|
positions exercise the different tendons and ligaments of the body.
|
|
Surprisingly it has been found that the body which may have been quite rigid starts experiencing
|
|
a remarkable flexibility in even those parts which have not been consciously work upon. Why? It
|
|
is here that the remarkable research behind yoga positions proves its mettle. Seemingly unrelated
|
|
“non strenuous” yoga positions act upon certain parts of the body in an interrelated manner.
|
|
When done together, they work in harmony to create a situation where flexibility is attained
|
|
relatively easily.
|
|
Massaging of ALL Organs of the Body – Yoga is perhaps the only form of activity which
|
|
massages all the internal glands and organs of the body in a thorough manner, including those
|
|
such as the prostate - 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.
|
|
Complete Detoxification – By gently stretching 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 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.
|
|
Excellent toning of the muscles – Muscles that have become flaccid, weak or slothy are
|
|
stimulated repeatedly to shed excess flab and flaccidity.
