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.
