Yoga is more than an exercise. It is the art of living life through the mental, spiritual and physical path. It helps in achieving stability and attention in the consciousness of the inner self. It helps in learning about mind, emotion, and physical needs and how to think more about how to cope with life's challenges.
Yoga works at the level of body, mind and energy; regular practice of yoga brings positive changes in the body, including strong muscles, flexibility, patience and good health.
An ancient form of practice, yoga was developed thousands of years ago in Indian society and has been practiced continuously since then.
Yoga is being practiced all over the world. According to a survey, about 2 billion people in the world practice yoga. Indians have learned the importance of yoga for decades and for the last several years the entire world is talking about yoga and benefitting from it.
