An introduction to Yoga, meditation, pranayama, and asanas for emotional and physical wellbeing

Trainer’s name: Deepika Sharma

Description

Welcome to Mittsure’s Fundamental Yoga course!

Yoga is a spiritual discipline between your body and soul. Yoga is an art of healthy living which also brings peace to your mind and soul.

The word “Yoga” is derived from the Sanskrit word “Yog”, which means “to join”, or “to unite”. It is believed that the practice of Yoga started in early civilization. Lord Shiva is known to be the first Yogi or Adiyogi, who poured his knowledge of Yoga on the legendary “seven sages”. The Seven Sages helped to spread the knowledge of Yoga all over the world.

Life has become extremely stressful nowadays. Moreover, excessive dependency on machines and gadgets has reduced the requirement for physical labour in everyday life. Children like to stay indoors and play games on tablets rather than going to a park and playing physical games. This lack of physical movement is slowly becoming the root cause of many diseases in children as well as adults. Yoga can be considered an effective solution to this modern age issue. Practicing Yoga daily can have multiple physical and mental benefits like:

  • Improving physical strength balance and flexibility
  • Curing bone and muscle-related ailments like back pain, arthritis, joint blockage, etc.
  • Benefits heart health
  • Cures insomnia
  • Increases energy levels and brightens the mood
  • Helps reduce stress

Not only this, but Yoga can also help children manage their anxiety issues, regulate their emotions, boost their self-esteem, improves concentration and reduces impulsion.

Now you know some basics and benefits of Yoga.

Are you determined enough to practise Yoga for a healthy and peaceful lifestyle? Mittsure’s Fundamental Yoga course is the right way to start your yogic journey. Join us today to learn the basics of this ancient art form.
