The human body has incredible potential for self-healing. Through the practice of yoga it is
   able to restore depleted energy, fight infection and strengthen immune defence.
   Each posture fulfils a specific function and every muscle, nerve and gland in the body is
   affected. Long time chronic illnesses, imbalances and joint disorders often get cured or
   relieved through regular committed practice. Yoga helps the body to improve flexibility and
   mobility of the spine and joints. Many people take up yoga in the first place as a result of injury
   or immobility as yoga inflicts a very low level of impact on the body while giving it an all-over
   stretch and tone. Yoga is a safe form of exercise that promotes health and well being in many
   different ways. Yoga asanas have a positive influence on the circulation of the blood.
   Through therapeutic twists and turns of the body and controlled breathing, blood pulses through
   those parts of the body where it can have a tendency to be sluggish. This in turn raises the
   level of oxygen distribution around the system and aids the removal of toxins.
The internal organs are toned and massaged, the function of the glandular system  stimulated. Deep breathing and meditation have proved to slow down the heart rate, lower blood pressure and alleviate stress.

“The Tao of nurturing life requires that one keep oneself as fluid and flexible as possible. One should not stay still for too long, nor should one exhaust oneself by trying to perform impossible tasks. One should learn how to exercise from nature by observing the fact that flowing water never stagnates and a busy door with active hinges never rusts or rots. Why? Because they exercise themselves perpetually and are almost always moving.“
