THE PRACTISE OF YOGA OVER THE 
MILLENNIUM 
 There are many types of yoga. These are followed by a 
series of asanas (yoga postures), which end with savasana 
(a resting period).
 The goal during yoga practise is to challenge yourself 
physically, but not to feel overwhelmed.

CARDIOVASCULAR BENEFITS
 Several small studies have found yoga to have a positive 
effect on cardiovascular risk factors: It helped lower blood 
pressure in people who have hypertension. 
 It’s likely that the yoga restores “baroreceptor sensitivity.” 
This helps the body senses imbalances in blood pressure and 
maintain balance

SELF-AWARENESS
 Yoga develops inner awareness. It focuses your attention on 
your body’s abilities at the present moment. 
 It helps develop breath and strength of mind and body. It’s 
not about physical appearance.

IMPROVES FLEXIBILITY
 The first and most obvious benefit of yoga is that it improves 
flexibility. People with stiff body muscles often find it difficult 
to practice yoga at first. 
 But as the practice is continued, it becomes easier as there 
is a loosening of the muscles.

BUILDS MUSCLE STRENGTH
 Yoga helps you build muscles which are not only good in 
appearance but also have health benefits. 
 They prevent a person from arthritis and back pain which are 
very common in elderly people.
