Yoga Asanas(Yoga Postures)


Yoga Asanas(Yoga Postures)


Yoga Asana is a part of Yoga.At the outset one must understand that Yoga is not completely yoga Asanas,  But yoga asana is a part of yoga that will help to gnite the natural well-beingness inherent in a human body and synchronize the flow of energy across all organs, thus leaving you feeling revitalized and rejuvenated. That is why the ancient sages used this asanas .

Benefits of Yoga Asana
At the physical level, yogaasana  and its  practices have proven to be extremely effective for various disorders and diseases.

More importantly, yoga asana   is extremely effective in:

Increasing Flexibility – yoga asana 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 asanas (yoga postures) 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.


One of the far-reaching benefits of yoga asana  is the uncanny sense of awareness that it develops in the practitioner of an impending health disorder or infection. This in turn enables the person to take pre-emptive corrective action
Complete Detoxification – By gently stretching muscles and joints as well as massaging the various organs, yoga asana 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 slothy are stimulated repeatedly to shed excess flab and flaccidity.

But these enormous physical benefits are just a “side effect” of this powerful practice. What yoga asana  does is harmonize the mind with the body and this results in real quantum benefits. It is now an open secret that the will of the mind has enabled people to achieve extraordinary physical feats, which proves beyond doubtthe mind and body connection.
