Most Yoga taught in the West focuses on the following elements:
- Physical postures or poses (asanas,) including standing, sitting and recuperative poses
- Breathing exercises (pranayama)
- Various forms of meditation
However, the deeper you go into Yoga the richer and more diverse the tradition becomes.
The most important benefit of Yoga is physical and mental therapy. Scientists state that the reason Yoga therapy
is effective is because it creates a balance in the nervous and endocrine systems that directly influence all other systems and organs in the body. |
