Increasing Flexibility -
yoga has positions that act upon the various joints of the body
including those joints that are never really on the radar screen
let alone exercised. Increasing
lubrication of the joints, ligaments and tendons - likewise,
the well-researched yoga positions exercise the different
tendons and ligaments of the body.
Surprisingly it
has been found that the body which may have been quite rigid
starts experiencing a remarkable flexibility in even those parts
which have not been consciously work upon. Why? It is here that
the remarkable research behind yoga positions proves its mettle.
Seemingly unrelated non strenuous yoga positions act upon
certain parts of the body in an interrelated manner. When done
together, they work in harmony to create a situation where
flexibility is attained relatively easily.
Massaging of
ALL Organs of the Body - yoga is perhaps the only form of
activity which massages all the internal glands and organs of
the body in a thorough manner, including those such as the
prostate - that hardly get externally stimulated during our
entire lifetime. Yoga acts in a wholesome manner on the various
body parts. This stimulation and massage of the organs in turn
benefits us by keeping away disease and providing a forewarning
at the first possible instance of a likely onset of disease or
disorder.
Complete
Detoxification - by gently stretching muscles and joints as
well as massaging the various organs, yoga ensures the optimum
blood supply to various parts of the body. This helps in the
flushing out of toxins from every nook and cranny as well as
providing nourishment up to the last point. This leads to
benefits such as delayed ageing, energy and a remarkable zest
for life.
Excellent
toning of the muscles - Muscles that have become flaccid,
weak or sloth are stimulated repeatedly to shed excess flab and
flaccidity.
