2-Why practice Yoga today ?
The vast technological progress that has been made in recent decades has resulted in the pace of our lives becoming tremendously fast .Stress relief is therefore the number one reason for the practice of yoga today .The simplicity of practicing yoga on a small mat on the floor offers an all-too-welcome contrast to the complexity of modern life , gradually allowing the body and mind to regain their balance .While many people are initially drawn to yoga to combat stress , to keep their bodies fit and flexible , or to seek relief from a specific complaint ,such as backache , many also end up experiencing subtle changes in their approach to life as they begin to understand the inner peace that is their true nature .
For beginners , the benefit of yoga are mostly felt as mechanical changes in joints and muscles ,increased blood circulation ,temperature changes and improved control of the nervous system through regulated breathing .According to yogic teachings , all of these are really changes in Prana currents ( shifts in the vital life energy that runs through every life form ), which , as practitioners become more rooted and sensitive in the exercises ,they will start to experience on a mental level as well as a physical one .Understanding and controlling Prana - the subtle energy in all life forms - is viewed as the key to healthy body-mind balance .
