Why we do yoga? For losing weight? To stay in shape? To exercise ? For anti-ageing or for your physical and mental health ?
All are good reasons to start yoga and the reason you started doing yoga does not matter. Whatever the reason, the fact that you opened the new door of yoga practice is the same which is amazing thing.
You might have started yoga for your physical health, however, you will gradually notice that yoga is something different from other fitness. You don't know why, but your body and mind tell you yoga is something different. Your mind is calm and relaxed after your yoga class. Your body feels better, and tension in your body is gone .
Why ? because "Hatha yoga" will connect your body and mind.
Yoga means "union" or "connection" In Sanskrit , and the experience of connection is a state of yoga, that is a joyful and blissful, fulfilling experience. Hatha yoga is "moving meditation" that eventually leads you to a state of meditation. When you are in yoga poses- your mind is focused, concentrated and just in the present moment, there is no path or future, your body and mind are connected when you are just in the present moment.
Yoga will internally and externally tune your entire physical system and asana will release tension and increase blood circulation, digestion and give you more stability.
These are the real benefits of yoga practice.
