Our physical body is meant to move and exercise. If our lifestyle does not provide natural motion of muscles and joints, then disease and great discomfort will ensue with time. Proper exercise should be pleasant to the practitioner while beneficial to the body, mind and spiritual life.
Asanas or yoga postures/exercises focus on increasing and maintaining flexibility of the spine, toning and rejuvenating the nervous system. The gentle stretching, twisting and bending movements bring flexibility to the joints and muscles of the body, as well as massaging the glands and organs. Circulation is also improved, ensuring oxygen to all the cells of the body. The different poses put pressure on various points, which help to relax the nervous system and therefore also helps to release stress.
The Sanskrit word Asana means steady pose, therefore holding the yoga postures is beneficial. Taking a few deep breaths in every pose, slowing down.
Ardha Matseyndrasana – half spinal twist.Halasana – the plough.Standing spinal twist in triangle – Parivritta Trikonasana.
If you are up early, you can witness the silence of nature and get the chance to see some spectacular sunrises. This time of the day is what Yogis refer to as “Brahma-muhurta” – the best time to meditate, when the quality of nature is pure “Sattva”.
