Everyone knows or thinks they know yoga, but do you know that some of its postures calm ovarian disorders and improve circulation?
Yoga has three means of action: postures, breathing, and mental concentration. Each posture activates or slows down the circulation of energy, the "prana", in a specific area of the body. The postures do not act on the muscles, but on the internal organs. The breathing techniques, associated with the postures, favor the improvement of blood circulation and oxygenate the body.
Concentration controls the emotions and leads to the state of meditation. In the philosophy of yoga, health is a stage towards spirituality. A healthy body contains a healthy soul.
