Ancient Yogis had a belief that in order for man to be in harmony with
himself and his environment, he has to integrate the body, the mind, and
the spirit. For these three to be integrated, emotion, action, and
intelligence must be in balance. The Yogis formulated a way to achieve
and maintain this balance and it is done through exercise, breathing,
and Meditation - the three main Yoga structures. In Yoga, the body is treated with care and respect for it is the primary instrument in man's work and growth. Yoga Exercises improve circulation, stimulate the abdominal organs, and put pressure on the glandular system of the body, which can generally result to better health. Breathing techniques were developed based on the concept that breath is the source of life. In Yoga, students gain breathing control as they slowly increase their breathing. By focusing on their breathing, they prepare their minds for the next step - Meditation. There is a general misconception that in Meditation, your mind has to go blank. It doesn't have to be so. In Meditation, students bring the activities of the mind into focus resulting in a 'quiet' mind. By designing physical poses and Breathing Techniques that develop awareness of our body, Yoga helps us focus and relieves us from our everyday stress. Back to Yoga Basics and Background
