Many people say that "I do not have time," but doing yoga calms the mind and does not leave the feeling of lack of time. Yoga can be started with 15 minutes, and gradually increase the time. Doing yoga strengthens the body, changes speech and thought, and brings prosperity and peace in life.
People who practice yoga have shown excellent improvement in diabetes, high blood pressure, heart diseases and mood-related problems.
The Difference Between Yoga and Gym
Gym is only for the body and it increases the stiffness, whereas yoga is for both the body and the mind. Yoga is a set of asanas, pranayama, and meditation that strengthen the internal organs.
Pranayama like Kapalbhati and Bhastrika gives a reaction to the organs including liver, kidney, heart which is not possible from the gym.
The physical and mental benefits of yoga
By doing yoga, the hair remains black, hair fall stops, and the amount of oxygen in the body increases. By doing yoga, every cell of your body gets enough oxygen, which prevents cancer, heart attack, and other diseases.
Yoga calms the mind, removes negative thoughts, and reduces mental stress. Yoga and meditation will strengthen your mental health
Yoga and meditation
The combination of yoga and meditation is very important. Waking up before sunrise, taking bath regularly and eating at the right time is good for the body.
During the review of the daily routine it should be noted that it is necessary to maintain the health of both the stomach and the brain. Sleeping early and waking up early is essential for good health.
Diet and yoga
Diet is as important as yoga. The structure of our body is made up of five elements, and accordingly five types of "food" are needed:
1. Sunlight - 15-20 minutes of sunshine per day.
2. Vayu (Breathing) - Taking long breaths, such as pranayama.
3. Akash (empty stomach) - fasting and regular eating.
4. Eat fruits, vegetables, and grains that grow in the soil.
5. Jal (water) - Drink pure and appropriate temperature water.
The diet should be regular and appropriate. Take at least 20 minutes while eating and eat by chewing the key quietly.
Meditation and meditation
Pranayama is a breathing ritual that includes a complement, kumbhaka, and laxative. Doing pranayama under proper guidance refreshes the body and mind.
The most important thing is to focus on the breath. Meditating on the breath calms the mind and brings inner peace. It is necessary to learn to see and distinguish them when thoughts arise.
Yoga teaching and propagation
Gujarat Yoga Board has prepared 1.5 lakh yoga trainers and it is expected that it will take this number to 10 lakh. There is also a system of honorarium and employment for yoga teachers.
Yoga is a national responsibility, and everyone should try to integrate yoga into their daily lives.
