The Art of Living. Review on Yoga Teacher - Mumbai

"Listen to the principles of Yoga. By practising these, you can break through the bonds of Karma"- Bhagavad Gita.

Reaspected MSians,

In this fast moving world, enveloped by tensions, anxities, desires- one forgets about his mental and physical health. We know that a Sound mind dwells in a sound body. Practising Yoga, is one way by which you can relieve your tired body and soul. Yogasanas are not execises, but yoga is a way of living.

Human beings are made up of three components- body, mind and soul. Corresponding to these, are three needs that must be satisfied for a contended life; the physical need is health; the psychological need is knowledge; and the spiritual need is inner peace. When these are present, there is harmony.

Yoga at the practical level gives relief from countless ailments. The practice of asanas rejuvanates the body and creates a feeling of well being. From the psychological point of view, Yoga sharpens the intellect and aids in concentration. It studies the emotions and encourages a caring concern. The practice of Pranayam, calms the mind and relieves it from stress, Thus Yoga in practical sense, involves every aspect of a person's being. It teaches the evolution of the individual by the developement of self discipline and self awareness. Yoga helps to discipline our sense of power with the power of our own sense.

People of all ages can do yoga, and it can be adopted for people with disabilities or special needs. Regular practice of Yoga helps to keep our body fit, controls cholestrol level, reduces weight, normalise blood pressure and improves cardiovascular performance. Yoga is simultaneously self- diagonostic, healing, prevention and maintenance. It urges us to work harder and lessens the fear of failure.

As we start practising the simple asanas, we immediately find out what needs the most attention, while giving it attention it calls for. Throgh this art, everyone can enjoy the ecstasy of freedom, longetivity and happiness. If we are still breathing, it is never too soon, or too late to start practicing Yoga.....

Live long MSians.......
