yoga

Every one wants to have  good health whether from the masses  or the  classes.The word yoga has been derived from  the  Sanskrit word   yuj, Yoga means union of the individual consciousness or soul with the Universal Consciousness .It is a 3000 thousand years old body of knowledge.  Yogic exercises  are believed to be  so pronounced and effective that some believe that even a disease like cancer can be cured with the help of  yoga.

   For many years yoga was confined to Ashrams and places where Sanskrit was taught. It was in the mid 80’s that yoga became a compulsory subject in all Delhi schools. It was like  a wave  which overpowered Delhi. Since then there is no looking back.  Yoga   reached  every house of Delhi. It was a great impetus for this subject.

  There was another interesting angle, associated with the introduction of Yoga.  More than 90% of the teachers  posted in the schools  were young  girls. They were only High School  pass, but the scale given to them was the same as given  to Graduates. All of a sudden the marriage market became alert. Most of  the  yoga  teachers got married within one year.

  Yoga became very  popular . Yoga camps are set up regulary in many areas . Yoga aims to unite the body , mind and the soul. Yoga helps people of all ages. Whether you are 28 or 82 yoga can help you. In many colonies in Delhi  yoga classes are conducted. Some exercises are very popular. Deep breathing is very helpful for relaxation. 
  I am not going into the details of  various  exercises. This post is meant to to bring an awareness among the people about the benefits of yoga.
