 “Yoga is the artwork of awareness on the canvas of body, mind and soul”

 


Yoga is an ancient form of exercise which evolved thousand years back in Indian society which is being practice continuously since then. It help us physically and mentally. It consist various forms of poses which is called as “Asana” that has different physical benefits. It helps people to keep them in their best shape and also helps them to get rid of all kind of diseases. Yoga have been practiced all over the world.

Yoga is the ultimate harmony between one’s physical existence and spiritual conscience. The perfect synchronization between mind and body is called Yoga. It involves breathing techniques and meditation along with exercises which are beneficial for good health.

There are total of 84 asanas in yoga some of them are: Swastikasana (Auspicious Pose), Gomukhasana (Cow face pose), Veerasana (Hero's pose), Kurmasana (Tortoise Pose), Kukkutasana (Cockerel Pose), Uttanakoormasana (Stretching Tortoise Pose), Dhanurasana (Bow Pose), Matsyendrasana (Spinal Twist Pose), Shavasana (Corpse Pose), Siddhasana (Adept’s Pose), Padmasana (Lotus Pose), Simhasana (Lion Pose)….etc.

Some of the benefits of yoga are that it helps to improve our sleep, reduce our weight, increases our flexibility, increases muscle strength, strengthen the bones, protection from injury, perfects your posture, protects spine, makes you happier, helps you to focus, improve our digestion, helps us to be drug free, increases blood flow, balanced metabolism, gives inner strength, energy regulation…etc.

The word Chakar means spinning wheel. Yoga maintains the chakar are center points of energy, thoughts, feelings, and the physical body. According to yogic teachers, chakras determine how people experience reality through emotional reactions, desires or aversions, levels of confidence or fear, and even physical symptoms and effects. When energy becomes blocked in a chakra, it triggers physical, mental, or emotional imbalances that manifest in symptoms such as anxietylethargy, or poor digestion. Asanas are the many physical poses in Hatha yoga. People who practice yoga use asanas to free energy and stimulate an imbalanced chakra.

There are seven major chakras which are: Sahasrara: The crown chakra, which is at the crown of the head, symbolizes spiritual connection. Ajna: Located between the eyebrows, the third eye chakra has to do with intuition. Vishuddha: The throat chakra corresponds to immunity and verbal communication. Anahata: The heart chakra, which is in the center of the chest, influences professional and personal relationships. Any imbalances in this chakra will affect oxygen, hormones, tissue, and organ control. Manipura: The solar plexus chakra is in the stomach area. It corresponds to self-confidence, wisdom, and self-discipline. Svadhishthana: The sacral chakra, which is beneath the belly button, connects pleasure, well-being, and vitality. Muladhara: The root chakra, which is at the base of the spine, connects the mind and body to the earth to keep a person grounded. It controls the sciatic nerves and the parasympathetic nervous system.

So, I conclude by saying that we all have to do yoga to keep ourselves healthy and pleasant everyday and also encourage others to do yoga.
