10 Surprising Benefits Yoga can add to your Life

The Universe, Yoga, and You

Yoga has been around for centuries, and originated in India.

It's a system of physical, mental and spiritual disciplines that helps improve your overall health and wellbeing.

The key to yoga is achieving balance and harmony between your body, mind and spirit.

The physical disciplines of yoga include the practice of asanas (yoga postures) and pranayama (breathing exercises). These help to improve strength, flexibility, and circulation.

The mental disciplines of yoga include the practice of concentration and meditation, which help to calm the mind and promote inner peace.

The spiritual disciplines of yoga include the practice of ethical principles and self-inquiry, which help to promote self-awareness and wisdom.

How does your Yoga Practice impact the universe?

It is said that whatever is in the universe is in the body and whatever is in the body is in the universe.

Just like if there is one pin prick in the body, yet the discomfort is felt by the whole body. Similarly, if there is an imbalance in any unit of the universe, it impacts the whole universe.

The impact may be minute but still there is an impact.

We usually tend to dissociate ourselves with the universe, but we are actually a part of the universe.

Each of us is a single unit which is perfectly connected with the universe.

Any disruption in our body has a minute negative impact on the universe. At the same time, the healthy functioning of the body has a very minute positive impact on the universe.

Just like planting a single tree, though very insignificant when compared to the universe, does have an impact on the universe by giving oxygen to the environment.

Likewise, even a single sincere yoga practitioner has a positive impact on the universe because that person is working on increasing his prana energy.

Even an increase in prana energy on an individual level has a positive impact on the whole universe.

Do you see now how powerful this practice is?

Here are some benefits of practicing Yoga:

Every time you take a yoga class, you are reminded to focus on your breath and to control your breath.
