The Yoga rules

By Glen Wood

Ayurveda and yoga are sister sciences that have been united for thousands of years for the sake of healing body, mind, and consciousness. Generally speaking, Ayurveda deals more with the health of the body, while yoga deals with purifying the mind and consciousness, but in reality they complement and embrace each other.

Stress which affects the conscious mind is not very dangerous. Stress that is stored in your subconscious mind comes out in the form of dreams. But the stress which is unknown, the stress which you don't understand, goes into your unconscious mind and can create havoc in your body, mind, emotions and personality.

Many people wonder if yoga can improve their muscle fitness. They recognize that yoga can help reduce stress and increase flexibility, but when it comes to increasing muscle fitness, they think it might be a little too 'weak' to do the job.

Yoga provides weight-bearing exercise, through standing posture and flow sequences, essential to increasing bone density, and preventing osteoporosis. Improved circulation oxygenates cells, wrings out internal organs, and boosts hemoglobin and red blood cells reducing clot-promoting proteins.

Reduction in risk of heart attacks through the lowering of the resting heart rate, increased endurance, and improved uptake of oxygen as well as increased lymph drainage have been reported. Inversions provide a unique opportunity to circulate venous blood from the legs and pelvis back to the heart, which can reduce leg swelling that result from heart or kidney problems.
Exercise is a powerful tool for ADD management. Because it can help. It has consistently been used to cure and prevent back pain by enhancing strength and flexibility.

As many practitioners can attest, Yoga can offer effective healing that's relatively free of side effects. The slow movements and gentle pressures reach deep into troubled joints. Additionally, the easy stretches in conjunction with deep breathing exercises relieve the tension that binds up muscles and tightens joints. Yoga is exercise and relaxation rolled up into one.

Even a worker who is disgruntled will realize the benefits of a corporate Yoga program. Yoga also helps employees develop new life skills such as anger management, stress reduction, moderate diet, healthy living, self-esteem, and much more. The truth is: There are so many benefits to be gained by introducing Yoga into the corporate sector that management is "crazy" not to offer it.
