Yoga is the answer for a lot of aspects that everyone desires, such as a peaceful mind, a strong and flexible body, and healthy, glowing skin. Yoga is not simply a set of exercises but a lifestyle. Yoga is a complete workout for the body and mind and is a combination of stretching along with deep breathing and meditation. It is a way of keeping yourself fit without doing strenuous workouts and lifting heavyweights. When practicing yoga, asanas and nutrition go hand in hand to improve your quality of life. Your digestive system, immunity, and energy levels are directly linked to the food you intake. If there is a problem with any of these, yoga asanas can help resolve it.

Yoga helps in maintaining overall fitness

Yoga ensures that you are healthy in the true sense. Health is like a dynamic expression of life-based on how happy, loving and enthusiastic you are in life. The various postures of yoga help in maintaining overall fitness, and balance both your mind and body in an ideal way.

Yoga boosts immunity

A combination of asanas and yogic breathing techniques can help boost your immunity. Some asanas to try include Viparita Karani, Bhujangasana, Matsyasana and Adho Mukha Svanasana. These poses help lower stress and boost immunity by pumping rich oxygenated blood to all the parts of the body.

Yoga asanas help increase blood flow and increase the heart's capacity to pump blood through the body. A few yoga poses that can boost energy are the camel pose, tree pose, and warrior asana.

Yoga is very essential for calming your disturbed and troubled mind.

Moreover, yoga poses massage your organs and help in strengthening your muscles. The various breathing exercises and meditation forms associated with yoga are great for releasing unwanted, undesirable stress from your system.

Yogic asanas such as the spinal twist, Apanasana, and Paschimottanasana can help smoothen the digestive process.
