YOGA AND RECREATION

Author: Vinay Bhatia

Yoga defines itself as a science - that is, as a practical. methodical, and systematic discipline or set of techniques that have the lofty goal of helping human beings to become aware of their deepest nature. The goal of seeking to experience this deepest potential is not part of a religious process, but an experiential science of self-study. Religions seek to define what we should believe, while a practical science such as meditation is based on the concrete experience of those teachers and yogis who have previously used these techniques to experience the deepest Self. Yoga is a great way to work on your flexibility and strength. Just about everyone can do it, too - 1 it's not just for people who can touch their toes or want to meditate. Some types of yoga are about relaxation. In others, you move more. Most types focus on learning poses, called asanas. They also usually include attention to breathing. Yoga is the science of life and the art of living. It is the common sense answer to overall physical and mental fitness. Basically, Yoga is a system of physical and mental self-improvement and final liberation, that people have been using for thousands of years. Yoga arose in the age of the Vedas and Upanishads. It is India's oldest scientific, perfect spiritual discipline .
