The body is truly a marvellous piece of machinery but it is prone to breakdown under unfavourable conditions. With the breakdown of the body, the mind becomes weak, and selfconfidence dips.
The advantages of yoga -Yoga asanas offer unique advantages over other systems of exercise. The practise of yoga asanas (postures) and pranayama (breathing exercises) is unquestionably an ideal method that helps preserve the health and longevity of our body without any harm, fatigue or exhaustion.
Simple yoga asanas and walking are appropriate for any age. Even people suffering from various diseases can practice yoga, whereas most other exercises like jogging, running, aerobics and gymnastics are prohibited for them.
