Yoga, a 6,000+year-old practice having its roots in India, aims to transform the body and mind. Yoga comprises of simple breathing techniques that help you to know the power of breath, and yoga postures that keep you fit and energize you. Yoga helps you to add quality to life by empowering you with a calm disposition. Yoga empowers the mind to vibe well with people and situations.
Yoga postures and breathing go hand in hand. A few days of yoga practice will show certain visible improvements, like realizing that your breaths have become deep and long. You will feel less stiff and crumpled as your muscles get relaxed. Your lungs will be stronger than ever, your limbs more flexible and back stronger. Your mind will feel fresh and your heart younger. Some basic yoga postures can relax your abdominal organs and following some simple habits can help improve the functioning of the digestive system and restore your system back to an optimum level!
