I am certain you have heard of yoga some time or other in your lifetime! Let me tell you a few interesting facts about yoga and its inception.
Yoga is over 5000 years old practice of ancient India which is a combination of holding postures, breathing, relaxing and meditating. India’s ancient religious texts, in the language of Vedas, Sanskrit, gave birth to both the literature and the technique of yoga. The idea of doing yoga is not losing weight and increasing heart rate. In the older times, it was not a part of a fitness goal, it was more to do with expanding your inner awareness, increase focus and mental stability and ultimately expand one’s spiritual energy.
Yoga is a light, which once lit will never dim. The better your practice, the brighter your flame.― B.K.S Iyengar
It was widely practised by the sages of ancient India, who believed the yoga is a kind of magnificent tapestry woven together by the inner spirit and the universe. The word yoga is derived from the word “yuj” which means bind and is often a method of discipline one follows. Yoga helps to gain balance, inner peace, coordination as well as physical and overall well being.
Yoga is gaining popularity in today's chaotic and busy lifestyle like never before. The goal and benefit revolves around the central fact of “awareness”
There are a top 5 benefits of practising yoga regularly.
- Feel the energy flowing inside you, soothes tension and anxiety in the mind and body
