Advantages of practicing Yoga


       Advantages of practicing Yoga

                           

Yoga is a group of physical, mental, and spiritual practices or disciplines which originated in ancient India. ‘The word “Yoga” essentially means, “that which brings you to reality”. Literally, it means “union.” Union means it brings you to the ultimate reality, where individual manifestations of life are surface bubbles in the process of creation’- Sadhguru.

                                     
It’s a belief that Yoga chooses people because through Yoga you will be connecting with the Universe, you will be in a surrendered state to the nature. The purpose of Yoga is to build strength, awareness, and harmony in both body and mind. In Yoga they call poses as Asanas. There are roughly 84 asanas in Yoga, yoga practitioner finds its challenging by unlocking each and one of the asanas. Once you have unlocked all the asanas, you can eventually be a Yoga master, creating more Yogis into this Universe.

                                   

There are many advantages by practicing Yoga. One of them gives you peace of mind. It slows down the mental loops of frustration, anger, regret, fear and desires that can cause stress. And because of stress, it can lead you to many health problems. If you learn to quiet your mind, you’ll be likely to live longer and healthier.
                               
Second Yoga helps you to increase your self-esteem. Many of us personally have lower self-esteem in certain ways and that leads us to handle this negatively. But if we take Yoga as a positive approach and practice Yoga, we can notice a different side of ourselves. You’ll experience feelings such as gratitude,empathy and forgiveness as well as sense that you’re a part of something bigger.

                                        

Most importantly, practicing Yoga makes you to have a healthy eating habits. The more Asanas you have unlocked the more you are into Yoga and that makes you to change some of your lifestyle habits. Logically if you whacked food and practice Yoga afterward you cannot do the Asanas completely. Eventually, you will reduce eating and change your eating lifestyle.


Most of us misunderstand that Yoga is particularly for non-muslims. It is absolutely incorrect, Yoga is a way of life and everyone in this world can practice it. Yoga changes us mentally and physically and I believe it is the most important thing all of us have to have in our life. Personally, I have come across many people whose life changed after practicing Yoga. Everything begins with us but the question is WHEN?

Law Of Attraction

Law Of Attraction. What comes up in your mind when you hear this word? There might be many thoughts running around you. It's all about what you attract, the vibes you attract to yourself.
