Yoga is an ancient discipline that encompasses many physical techniques, centredaround slow bodily movements in harmony with controlled breathing. Yoga, originally known as the ‘Yog', was developed in India and is said to date back to several millennia. The physical techniques are called ‘Asanas' and are divided into three different stages based on one's level of advancement. Yoga helps you in various ways and the benefits are immense. It helps one to prevent disorders and diseases like spondylitis, back problems, lack of height growth, loss of focus and even breathing problems. The primary benefits of Yoga are said to be improvements in concentration, tranquillity, and curing of mental disorders like depression and anxiety. Yoga can play a very important role in children's mental development and helping them cope with life's issues. Yoga is equally helpful to adults in preventing/curing disorders such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol among others.
