What is yoga?
Yoga is 99 percent practice, one percent theory. - Pattabhi Jois
In fact, yoga is all about balance. Many people have the impression that the physical practice of yoga is about being flexible, but physical flexibility is not the primary goal of asana yoga practice: balance is. Some people, who come to yoga, particularly some women, are very flexible: what they need is strength. Other people, including many men, are pretty strong when they first come to yoga, but lack flexibility. Some yoga students are debilitated by fear. Others have trouble staying motivated. Some people can’t relax.
The practice of yoga challenges you wherever you need it, transforming liabilities into strengths, making you a more balanced person.
Yoga has a number of tools that can help overcome one of the chief factors undermining the health and well-being of many in the modern world: an out-of–balanced stress-response system. Since stress is a factor in a host of medical conditions – from heart attacks to infertility – yoga’s role in stress reduction helps explain why it is useful in so many situations. Most people who regularly do yoga discover that it gets more interesting over time. I do not know anybody who feels that way about stomach crunches.
There is a growing body of scientific evidence suggesting that yoga has serious therapeutic value. - Timothy McCall MD
