SPLENDOR OF YOGA - PART 4


SPLENDOR OF YOGA

PART—4

WHAT IS YOGA?

The word “YOGA” originates from Sanskrit. The “YUJ” in Sanskrit language is the root word. The word “YUJ” means to bind or to yoke or to join or to merge or to integrate. Binding of mind, body and soul by exercise is yoga practice. Yoga releases one from human bondage and suffering. How it is so can be seen in the subsequent chapters.


WHAT IS YOGASANA?


Yoga+Asana = Yogasana.

Asana means posture. To solve confronting problems, we generally say “Let us sit and discuss”. Sitting comforts us mentally and helps to think vividly. Our culture is to make our visitors or guests first to sit. Sitting is one of the meditative postures. Asanas which accelerate the inner and outer organs of the body to function properly, propelling strength, repelling diseases and tranquilizing the mind with clear thought is called yogasana.


BODY, MIND and YOGA.

We all know that body and mind are interrelated. If some thing wrong happens in the body, it will be shown through mind( Examp: Pain,headache,uneasy to say some) and if any thing wrong happens in the brain, it will be shown through body as psychosomatic problem(Examp: Stress, anxiety, fear to say some).

Is there any yoga technique that I can practise to lose weight? I think I'd heard one yoga exercise that can effectively help to lose weight. Maybe the exercise itself dramatically increase body metabolism. I would be very pleased if you can enlighten me with your reply.

Thanks!
