Benefits of Yoga
Namaste 🙏 friend
While modern media and advertising may have us think that yoga is all
about physical poses, the entirety of yoga includes a wide range of
contemplative and self-disciplinary practices, such as meditation,
chanting, mantra, prayer, breath work, ritual, and even selfless action.
The word “yoga” comes from the root word “yuj”, which
means“to yoke” or “to bind”. The word itself has
numerous meanings, from an astrological conjunction to matrimony, with
the underlying theme being connection. Yoga asana is the physical
practice and postures of yoga. The scientific research into yoga’s
benefits is still somewhat preliminary, but much of the evidence so far
supports what practitioners seem to have known for millennia: Yoga is
incredibly beneficial to our overall well-being.
