Yoga Postures Or Asanas

Yoga sutras say that a posture that is comfortable and stable is an asana. Stability and feeling of well-being are the results of asana. The practice of asana teaches us to sit erect, keep ourselves healthy and free the mind of thoughts.

The health of the human body depends on the health of the tissues. The organs of the human body are made up of tissues. Practice of asana replenishes the tissues with a fresh supply of oxygen. Elements necessary for nourishment of tissues are carried to them by blood. The circulatory system plays a vital role in the nourishment of tissues.

The heart is the strongest muscle in the body. It can be made healthier by means of proper yogic exercises. It is the contraction and relaxation of the heart that causes circulation of blood to all parts of the body.

Yogic exercises give a good massage to the hard working heart. Asanas involve very little muscular activity. In such a condition, the heart has a tendency to slow down its speed and the heart beats in a controlled manner. When the muscular activity is less, there is minimum production of carbon dioxide. This reduces the levels of stress to the heart.

Asanas improve cardiovascular efficiency even in a diseased person. Asanas are an essential component of yoga that brings steadiness and stability to the body.

I went through the article and first did not believe that yoga can help me with the heart disease.
But i feel a notable difference after doing it for last 15 days. This article has really helped me change my personal life and i thank the writer for it. The descriptions are very clear and precise which helps anybody to follow it. Also the article covers all the aspects and thus is even more helpful.
I recommend this article to everybody. The stress which is present in today's time can be really relieved after practicing yoga as described.

Heart is like any other muscle in our body, which works perpetually. Therefore, it needs to be used and then rested.
