Yoga rejuvenates the physical system and restores mental
equilibrium. The word ‘yoga’ is derived from the Sanskrit word yuj which means
to ‘yoke’, ‘unite’ or ‘join’. It implies the joining or uniting of the
individual consciousness with the universal consciousness. This chapter deals
with the most popular element of yoga—asanas or body exercises. Yogasana is the
science of the beauty of form. It combines effortless postures and definite
stances in the projection of a healthy and striking personality. Asanas mould
every part of the body to its ideal contours.
Yogasanas, in conjunction with pranayama, bring harmony and
balance to every part of the body, and are highly therapeutic for the body,
mind and soul.
