Yoga For Health

Hello everybody,

As we all know yoga does wonders for our body, mind, health & for some, the soul. Yoga is suitable for all ages when practiced with experienced, certified instructors. I for one has been benefiting from my yoga practice, I lost 7kg, toned muscles and level of stamina and energy has increased. It has done wonders for me and I would like to share the benefits of Yoga with you.

I have a group of certified international & local intructors to share with us their knowledge. I'll be posting their profiles soon, so please come back and check their profiles, timetable, venue & time.

In the meantime, I'll leave you with something for you to read.

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.
One of the far-reaching benefits of yoga is the uncanny sense of awareness that it develops in the practitioner of an impending health disorder or infection. This in turn enables the person to take pre-emptive corrective action

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.
