The Sanskrit term yoga has a wide range of different meanings. It is derived from the Sanskrit root yuj, "to control", "to yoke", or "to unite". Common meanings include "joining" or "uniting", and related ideas such as "union" and "conjunction". Another conceptual definition is that of "mode, manner, means"or "expedient, means in general".
Stress is the number one suspect affecting all parts of our physical, endocrinal 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 exercise 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 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 stimulated repeatedly to shed excess fats and flaccidity.
But these enormous physical benefits are just a “side effect” of this powerful practice. What yoga does is harmonize the mind with the body and these result 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 = meditation, because 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.
Hi friends I am giving this knowledge of yoga through this mediam by more resources, my idea towards yoga and most of from our guruji Sri Swami Sivananda. My aspiration here is to broaden the message of yoga to a lot of peoples who are below down line in the fields of yoga. I hope this contexts is helpful to you.
I will be updating more and more in this site so please keep in touch with this.
