The soul of yoga



Yoga, an art which brings mind, soul, and body together. It makes our body flexible, healthy, strong and peaceful. In countries like India where people often undergo stress and depression, Yoga becomes very necessary to get rid of all mental and physical problems.

A healthy mind, as well as body, is capable of bringing anything into action. Yoga intends to bring both physical and mental health in unity with each other through a number of physical and mental exercises.

For physical health, the methods consist of different ‘asanas’ or yoga postures to edge towards a healthy body. On the other hand, the mental methods, involve meditation or ‘dhyana’ and breathing exercises or ‘pranayama’ to control the mind.
