Yoga - An Introduction

Yoga - this is not just a term. Neither can this be categorized as just an exercise form. The very word 'Yoga' has more than one meaning. Yoga means growth, happiness, binding, sex, formula, cure, emotion, qualification, penance, meditation, harmony, armor, feeling oneness with universe and many more. Each of these meanings are directly associated with yoga. To be more precise, all these can be achieved through yogic practice.

Yoga promotes growth in life.

Yoga keeps you happy everyday.

Yoga is a union of body and mind.

Yoga promotes discipline.

Yoga protects the body and mind from diseases and other negative energies.

Yoga improves focus and strengthens brain functions.

Yoga is a combination of all these benefits. It should have been a way of life of our ancient people. Profound meaning of the name is suggestive of the fact.

Yoga has long crossed all barriers to be practiced the world over. Yoga is so versatile that over many decades, countless therapists and yoga instructors have given the art their unique touch and the art while retaining its essence is adaptive to the different treatments just as it makes you adaptive with yoga practice. There are yoga studios worldwide and online sessions are conducted too. And not to forget blogs and websites that have immense wealth of information to provide. Yogaaatral's aim is to serve as a link between yoga and practitioners who would like to set their own pace.

The initial theme is to begin with one yoga pose a day and work our way through various poses. The aim is to encourage people of all ages and all body structures to unroll their yoga mat.

Fine, let's begin.

  • Similar to Keezhadi excavations which bring to light the rich past of the Thamizh civilization, Thirumoolar's Thirumanthiram draws our attention to the unbelievably rich knowledge possessed by ancient Thamizh civilization in the field of medicine. It will be only right to say that Thirumoolar would have been the world's first anatomical scientist.
