An Hour Spent In Yoga Is Rewarded With 2 Hours Of Extra Life Span

There is no doubt that a robust and healthy body is more resistant to stress, both physical and emotional, than a weak and exhausted body.

- Shri K.K. Bajaj

The fact that our bodies feel better motivates us to walk, run, jog, go to the gymnasium, play a sport, and even do sit-ups and push-ups, or do aerobics or yoga. The body is truly a marvellous piece of machinery but it is prone to breakdown under unfavourable conditions. With the breakdown of the body, the mind becomes weak, and selfconfidence dips.

The advantages of yoga -Yoga asanas offer unique advantages over other systems of exercise. The practise of yoga asanas (postures) and pranayama (breathing exercises) is unquestionably an ideal method that helps preserve the health and longevity of our body without any harm, fatigue or exhaustion.

Simple yoga asanas and walking are appropriate for any age. Even people suffering from various diseases can practice yoga, whereas most other exercises like jogging, running, aerobics and gymnastics are prohibited for them.

Yoga asanas are simple and can be done literally in a few minutes at any place - be it your home, a park, or even your office. It also requires no equipment and little space. Yoga asanas balance our nervous system and increase oxygen supply to our brain, thereby improving mental clarity, alertness and physical well-being, besides controlling cholesterol levels and reducing weight. The most important benefit of yoga is that it is a physical and mental therapy.
