The Most Important Reason to do Yoga
Here I am sharing my personal experience about doing yoga and its most important aspect.
From the year 2015, 21st of June is celebrated as an International Yoga day. I being a yoga enthusiast, should be busy doing some yoga and posting pictures of my yoga-poses aka ‘Yog-Asanas’ (like we all love to share our perfect pictures), but I am unable to do so this time, as I have been vaccinated (anti-COVID-19 jab) just a couple of days before and my hands are really sore.
But nothing can stop a yoga lover so here I am doing my finger yoga on the keyboard mat. I am writing this anecdote in the early morning because whenever I feel strongly about something I have a habit of penning it down quickly.
Like all yoga stories I have the same one that how yoga has saved me from an ailment and positively impacted my life and yes it does impact positively but if not done correctly, it may add to ailments, so be cautious and first learn it from some reliable source. Here, I am highlighting what’s more for you (apart from a healthy body)? Well the new trend or we can say the revisited trend (because it always comes and vanishes and again reappears) is Meditation (is there any meditation day specifically?), we also have a day dedicated to it and it is commemorated exactly a month before the Yoga day (21st May is World Meditation day). Meditation, everyone knows is good and has a myriad of health benefits, but nobody does or is hard to do because the monkey mind always wanders. Now, here is the trick. If your mind wanders, do Yog-Asanas, Surya-Namaskar, and then do your Meditation, it comes easy then. In fact, if you do any form of exercise and do your meditation after that even if it is for 5 min, it is great! But if you do it post Yog-Sanas it’s excellent. I am saying this with confidence as I have experienced it, Yog-Asanas are not mere exercise it is in fact well aligned geometric postures fine-tuned with correct breathing (that is, when to inhale and exhale), which is in fact itself meditative and thus this prepares the body very well for further mediation. So you do it post-yoga about 30–40 min of yoga followed by meditation. Whoa! Don’t you want to do it now? Get started!
P.S: Please note that yoga is just for keeping your mind and body fine-tuned and it is not alternative to any medicine. If you are on medication, check with your Doctor. And avoid doing yoga when ill.
