Yoga Therapy Yoga can be described as the ultimate means of attaining beauty and preventing health problems. Today, yoga enjoys wide acceptance in orthodox medicine and has proven its positive effects in the most disparate areas. Independently of this, today we know more about the body's incredible potential to regenerate and heal itself through yoga.The Tao of alimentary life makes it necessary to keep oneself as flexible and elastic as possible. Our body is made for movement. You should neither rest too long nor exhaust yourself. The body is a marvel of biological self-regulation and is able to heal wounds and bones, fight infections, regenerate spent energy and fend off viruses of all sorts. Nevertheless, in the Western world we all too often ignore this capacity for vital health and satisfy ourselves with a life of little physical movement and poor diet. The most immediate effect practicing yoga asanas (Hatha yoga exercises) has on the body is an improvement in the spine's and the joints' flexibility. The body is stretched all around and the muscles are toned. Asanas are always practiced with the conscious monitoring of the breath. Thus, yoga improves blood circulation throughout the entire body as well as general heath. Due to moving and stretching with the flow of the breath, blood circulates to areas of the body that might otherwise be inadequately supplied. |

"All sanity depends on this: that it should be a delight to feel heat strike the skin, a delight to stand upright, knowing the bones are moving easily under the flesh." |
