Take a deep breath, try Yoga, it could transform your life

M odern life is fast-paced and competitive. Moreover, our environment is getting more polluted and food adulteration is common. Average life expectancy is decreasing and the number of people suffering from psychosomatic diseases (mental diseases) is rising

We are struggling to keep up with the competition. Technology is adding to our problems by creating new products and services which are greatly reducing our workload but increasing our stress levels. Smartphones are a perfect example.

Our lifestyle is so stressful that there is simply no time to relax. Our sleeping hours have reduced, in fact there is hardly any quality sleep that we get. In short, we are working hard to survive and save money so that we can fund treatment of diseases later in life.

If you’re able to relate yourself to the above situation, you certainly need to do Yoga. In Yoga, we use our body and breathing in a specific manner to connect and calm our mind, thereby releasing our physical and mental stress.

Unlike other fitness plans which provide immediate results and benefits to the physical body, Yoga goes deeper and helps us become stronger and healthier physically, mentally, intellectually, and spiritually.

The other good thing about Yoga is that it can be practised by people of all age groups. Yoga helps us develop a healthy body and also creates inner peace which influences the way we live in society. That is why it is often said, “Yoga is not a change in body, it’s a change in lifestyle.” —
