Know the Benefits Of Yoga

At the outset, we must understand what we can gain out of this wonderful practice

At the physical level, yoga and its cleansing practices have proven to be extremely effective for various disorders. To get a sampling of how yoga benefits health disorders, please visit the Yoga Therapy section.
More importantly, yoga is extremely effective in:

    Increasing Flexibility – yoga has positions that act upon the various joints of the body including those joints that are never really on the ‘radar screen’ let alone exercised.

    Increasing lubrication of the joints, ligaments and tendons – likewise, the well-researched yoga positions exercise the different tendons and ligaments of the body. Surprisingly it has been found that the body which may have been quite rigid starts experiencing a remarkable flexibility in even those parts which have not been consciously work upon. Why? It is here that the remarkable research behind yoga positions proves its mettle. Seemingly unrelated “non strenuous” yoga positions act upon certain parts of the body in an interrelated manner. When done together, they work in harmony to create a situation where flexibility is attained relatively easily.

    Massaging of ALL Organs of the Body – Yoga is perhaps the only form of activity which massages all the internal glands and organs of the body in a thorough manner, including those – such as the prostate - 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.

    Complete Detoxification – By gently stretching 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 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.

    Excellent toning of the muscles – Muscles that have become flaccid, weak or slothy are stimulated repeatedly to shed excess flab and flaccidity

Getting Ready For "International Yoga Day" 21 June

With UN designating June 21 as the International Yoga Day, yoga guru Ramdev on Friday said that while credit goes to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for championing the initiative leading to the declaration, one must not forget the contribution made by sages and seers to the discipline.

“No prime minister (before Modi) talked about yoga on the global stage. It was Modi ji who ran the campaign for an International Yoga Day and garnered support of 177 countries. This is the first time that a proposal in the UN received the support of 177 countries with not even a single country opposing it.

“Modi ji and his government are completely given credit for this but, socially and spiritually, there are several great men (‘mahapurush’) who worked hard for yoga education and they should also be recognised,” Ramdev told reporters here.

Less than three months after Modi mooted the proposal, the UN General Assembly has adopted an India-led resolution for declaring June 21 as ‘International Day of Yoga’ as it recognised that “Yoga provides a holistic approach to health and well-being”.

Asked about the idea of introducing yoga education in schools, Ramdev said Modi had discussed the same with him before he had become prime minister even as he added that he was committed to spreading yoga in the fields of education, health, etc.
