Yoga transcends physical postures to heal the mind, rejuvenate the body, and create inner balance, empowering you to lead a stress-free and fulfilling life, writes Yash Gupta

Let us understand the word yoga and what it means. It means the union of the self. So as per the yoga, many pains are not just in the body but in the mind and the memory as well. Have you ever wondered why you feel so lethargic even after you’ve not done anything in a day because your mind is tired? There is an old saying that says a weak mind cannot carry a strong body but a strong mind can have a weak body.

Yoga also includes some parts of astrology so at some point like at the full moon or maybe on the new moon day you might feel different from the rest of the days but practising yoga means simply surpassing everything because the self is beyond everything and with the natural healing process, there are some techniques that help you to become a younger version or maybe a better version of yourself.

Yoga acts like the white blood cells in the body as soon as the pain arrives, it eliminates or with some breathing techniques and pranayam and some techniques it helps you relieve all the stress. Like if you go to a physiotherapist and you have a lower back issue or like a back issue the most common answer for them will be the cobra pose the moment you start doing the cobra pose it helps you have the posture and once you have a good posture it also helps you have a better confidence while travelling while walking even while sitting. So it focuses not just on the aspect of the physical body but on the mental level as well yoga helps you relieve every sort of stress.

Also, the major cause once the digestion is improved while doing the surrender Namaskar it helps you relieve all the problems related to your stomach and you move naturally becoming fresh & light. It is also said by Maharishi Patanjali that yoga not only removes the stress and pain but also blocks the pain and the stress coming towards you.

There are yoga postures that people do and names like Ashtanga Yoga, Hat Yoga and what not but the major concern is that you listen to your body and you start responding the same way also once you start responding the same way you start Healing as well as your body will start listening to you which will produce harmony in your life and will help you grow in your career for sure.

People often say that they don’t have the time to meditate or do yoga but remember it is always to have the pain of discipline rather than having the pain of regret so you’re not late anymore you can start now you can join yoga schools, online classes for better postures and training.
