For thousands of years, people have adopted the ancient practice of Yoga to enhance their physical and mental well-being. Its foundation is the idea that the body and mind are interconnected, and it has its roots in India.



The Sanskrit word "Yuj," which means "to connect or join," is where the word "Yoga" originates. A common definition of Yoga is the fusion of the mind, body, and soul. It is a comprehensive technique that incorporates breathing exercises, physical postures, meditation, and mindfulness.

The fact that Yoga helps to increase strength and flexibility is one of its key advantages. The physical positions, or asanas, help to increase flexibility while also stretching and toning the muscles. Injuries can be prevented and posture can be improved as a result.

Yoga provides a lot of advantages for mental wellness as well. Stress and anxiety can be lessened by practicing meditation and breathing exercises. Additionally, it can aid in enhancing mental clarity, attention, and concentration.

There are many different styles of Yoga, each with their own unique focus. Some popular styles include Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga, and Ashtanga Yoga. Hatha Yoga is a slower-paced style that focuses on holding postures for longer periods of time. Vinyasa Yoga is a more dynamic style that focuses on flowing movements and connecting the breath to the movement. Ashtanga Yoga is a more physically demanding style that follows a set sequence of postures.

Yoga is suitable for people of all ages and abilities. It is important to listen to your body and only do what feels comfortable. It is also important to find a qualified teacher who can guide you through the postures and help you to modify them if needed.

In conclusion, Yoga is a holistic practice that combines physical postures, breathing exercises, meditation, and mindfulness to improve physical and mental well-being. It is suitable for people of all ages and abilities and can be practiced in many different styles. With regular practice, Yoga can help to improve flexibility, strength, and mental health.

Advances in the field of medicine, agriculture, industry, etc. can be attributed to the technological prowess. Artificial intelligence was believed to take the place of professionals like doctors, teachers, engineers, etc. Robotics, coding and such were being taught as main subjects in colleges. The world was set to take off into a technological revolution.      After the pandemic broke out, life became unpredictable.
