Yogasanas For Health, Beauty And Wellness

 

Yoga, the art and science of maintaining physical and mental well-being

that has its origin in India, is among the most ancient yet vibrant living traditions

that’s getting increasingly popular today. A potent stress-buster, yoga is an

instrument to self-evolvement and enlightenment, through physical and mental

well-being. Multi-dimensional, it enhances the quality of our lives at so many

levels. One aspect of yoga’s benefits is to explore the bond between yoga,

health and beauty. Broadly, the word beauty incorporates physical, mental and spiritual beauty.

It is a subtle balance of inner and outer beauty. Yogasanas when performed

with perseverance, precision, patience, pleasure and ‘shraddha’, yield highly

rewarding results. They promote health and consequently beauty.

 

But to derive maximum benefit one has to embark on this daily practice

or rather pilgrimage, with unflagging passion and commitment. An ardent practitioner of asanas will reflect unusual grace, poise and beauty.

 

Asanas keep the spinal column supple, strong and healthy.

This results in a steady and erect posture, boosting self-confidence.

During asanas, the alternate stretching and relaxa-tion of muscles

facilitates blood circulation and supply of oxygen, rejuvenating every cell

of the body. Various yogic postures gently massage internal vital organs, keeping them in

perfect health. Consequently, our various systems function in complete harmony.

The endocrine glands are stimulated and work with precision.

 

Cholesterol levels are kept in check and the blood pressure is normalised.

This internal harmony cleanses and detoxifies the body and

boosts the immune system. Asanas make the body toned, strong and flexible.

Standing asanas like the Tadasana and Trikonasana result in perfectly toned

and shapely legs and ankles. Certain inverted postures like the Sarvangasana

— the shoulder stand, the 'king of asanas' — results in blood flowing freely

and profusely to the neck, face and hair. Facial skin becomes taut and

wrinkle-free, attaining a radiant glow. The hair becomes thick and glossy,

and the eyes acquire a natural shine. Asanas speed up metabolism, resulting in a slim figure.

There is no accumulation of fat anywhere in the body. Forward bending like the Paschimottanasana and Uttanasana result in a flab-free

abdomen. Naukasana and Aradhamatsendra result in a narrow, small waist.

Facial features acquire a chiselled, fat-free look. This natural pampering of the

body by asanas also results in slowing down the ageing process, both physical

and mental. A prolific sadhak or practitioner remains youthful, attractive, alert and at peace

with himself. Then we are in touch with ourselves and can live life to the fullest.

 

Inner calm and joy are reflected on the face of the yogi. When the body is so blissfully healthy, the mind reciprocates.

Thus, in this happy, healthy body resides an equally joyous and healthy mind,

which is balanced and in perfect equilibrium with the body.

 

This in turn leads to positivism in our thoughts, actions and relationships. With regular and committed practice, toxins are got rid of.

 

Greed, jealousy, and anger are washed away. The maintenance of the various

asanas for a few minutes at a time results in acquiring tenacity and concentration.

This inner and outer beauty provides totality to the yogi’s personality.

Asanas work both on the body and mind, and elevate and purify our

consciousness, resulting in beauty of body, mind and soul.
