Top 7 Benefits of Yoga in Daily Life

 Yoga is a 5000-year-old art if not a science which originated in India. It is derived from the word 'Yuj' meaning a union of our own consciousness with the ultimate or the divine consciousness. Many have notions about yoga being a physical exercise where people stress their body in the most complex way, but this is the most superficial aspect of this science of unfolding the uncountable potentials of the human mind and soul.

• Complete Health:


Sri Sri Ravi Shankar said and I quote, "Health is not a mere absence of disease. It is a dynamic expression of life - in terms of how joyful, loving and enthusiastic you are".


This means that health is dependent of physical, mental and social well-being. And from practices like Asanas to meditation, Yoga helps you achieve complete fitness.


• Stress Relief:


Stress induces a hormone in the body called cortisol. Excess of cortisol in the body can suppress thyroid function, increase blood pressure and decrease muscle tissue. Yoga helps our body to reduce this hormone as it has been medically proven that Yoga can activate the parasympathetic nervous system. We accumulate a lot of stress during the day at work and home and we must get this stress out of our body as soon as possible.

• Mental Awareness:


Our mind constantly plays tricks on us. It is either wondering about the future or caught up in the past. We must first accept the fact that the most important time is now and we must not let our mind tense itself over events that have not happened yet or something that happened a long time ago.

Yoga helps your mind stay in the present and helps you clear negative thoughts. It helps you believe that the most important time is now and that is the best place for your mind to be.
