25 Oct Yoga and it’s health benefits

Nowadays it’s very usual to hear among friends, family, coworkers and news outlets about the benefits of practicing yoga. Throughout the last couple of years this activity and life philosophy has become a trend around the world. But, what is yoga? The word yoga comes from the root from the Sanskrit word “yuj” which means to hold together, reunite, join, direct and concentrate attention and energy for it’s later use. An ancient discipline originated in India, it’s one of the six orthodox systems in Indian philosophy. It’s a comprehensive experience with involves the mind, the body and the spirit, and isn’t just a very good way of exercise. Yoga could be seen as a form of meditation which requires all of your attention when moving from one asana (a pose in yoga) to another. Once you learn new ways of moving, and listen to both your body and mind, other areas of your life will also start to change and move.
In a way, not only do you become more flexible physically, but your mind and focus on life can begin to gain more flexibility needed for your day to day. This means that your body and health will change as soon as you apply correct living styles.
Currently, both adults and children are exposed to stressful routines; the result is a bad diet and poor sleep, living in constant tension which leaves the body more vulnerable to a series of diseases and sickness.
