			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>What is yoga?</strong></p>
<p>The word <strong>yoga</strong> comes from Sanskrit word meaning “union”. It’s a language of ancient India where yoga was first originated. In yoga, there is a union between mind, body and spirit.</p>
<p><span id="more-300"></span></p>
<p align="center"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-301" src="http://www.healthgiants.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Yogajpg.jpg" alt="Yogajpg" width="162" height="100" /></p>
<p><strong>Asana</strong> is a word that most accurately describes yoga, which refers to the general practice of physical postures and poses. There are large numbers of health benefits of yoga for various disorders.</p>
<p>Effectiveness of yoga is outlined as under:</p>
<p><strong>Increase in lubrication of ligaments, joints and tendons</strong></p>
<p>In fact, it’s a decade in which advancements of technologies are at their peak and has made our life more relaxing and comfortable. Now a robot has become man’s subordinate. In such circumstance people don’t bother to do their work by own. Development of <strong>yoga practices</strong> has made it possible that different joints, tendons and ligaments can work flexibly and healthily.</p>
<p>It is due to its remarkable mettle that is hidden behind its various exercise postures. <strong>Yoga basic positions </strong>are non strenuous and works for certain parts of a body in an interrelated manner. When these positions work in a specific harmony, they are liable to create such a situation where flexibility can be attained very easily.</p>
<p><strong>Increase in flexibility</strong></p>
<p>Yoga maintains flexibility of those joints that are never seen on the X-ray machine.</p>
<p><strong>Massaging every organ of our body</strong></p>
<p>Yoga is the only form of exercise that lubricates and messages every internal organ and gland of the body in a thorough manner like prostate that can hardly be stimulated during our entire life span. This massage and stimulation can help our body to fight against the diseases and can provide forewarning for various disorders.</p>
<p><strong>Muscle toning</strong></p>
<p>If our body muscles have become weak or rather flaccid, they are repeatedly stimulated so that the <strong>yoga benefits</strong> can shed flaccidity and excess flab to our body.</p>
<p><strong>A thorough detoxification</strong></p>
<p>A <strong>yoga exercise</strong> ensures optimum supply of blood to different parts of our body, which helps to flush out toxins from every nook and cranny and provides nourishment to its maximum. The most important target that achieves includes: increased zest of life with <strong>benefits of yoga</strong> for the remarkable energy packets and delayed process of aging.</p>
<p><strong>Full fitness</strong></p>
<p>In short, <strong>yoga positions</strong> provide least metabolism and full fitness and stress. This meditation thus provides the body full strength to achieve the major goal of self motivation, self realization and a concept of enlightenment which perhaps for us is definitely esoteric.</p>
