Yoga is a discipline based on an extremely subtle science, which focuses on bringing harmony between mind and body. It is an art and science of healthy living. Yoga leads to perfect harmony between mind and body, man and nature, individual consciousness, and universal consciousness. Yoga helps to build up psycho-physiological health, and emotional harmony; and manage daily stress and its consequences.
Yoga is also useful in conditions where stress is believed to play a role. Various yogic practices such as Yogasanas, Pranayama, Dhyana (meditation), cleansing and relaxation practices, etc. are known to help modulate the physiological response to stressors. Several randomized controlled studies have shown the efficacy of Yogic practices in the management of non-communicable diseases like hypertension, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchial asthma, diabetes, sleep disorders, depression, obesity, etc. that can be comorbid conditions in patients with COVID 19. Yoga has also been shown to be useful in vulnerable populations such as the elderly, and children. The function of the immune system is critical in the human response to infectious diseases. A growing body of evidence identifies stress as a cofactor in infectious disease susceptibility and outcomes.
Yoga calls for the union of mind, soul & nature. What can be better than merging swachhata with Health? Yoga, India’s gift of health & wellness to the world, advocates for us all to be in harmony with the nature around us. On this International Day of Yoga 2022, the Ministry of Ayush urges us to celebrate the benefits of swasthya & swachhata for ourselves & our environment. Ever thought that cleaning can be so unique and healthy? Let’s commemorate this International Day Of Yoga 2022 in a swachh way. Perform yogic asanas while ensuring swachhata around and embrace the spirit of good health and environment together.
Yoga is more than just an exercise. It is a way of life. A 5000-year-old subtle science, it focuses on bringing harmony between the mind and the body. It is a combination of physical exercise, diet control, breathing techniques, and concentration, which strengthens the body and relaxes the mind. This, in turn, improves immunity.
Over To You:
Yoga and cleanliness are both ways of life. Yoga Day 2022 emphasizes the importance of yoga for humanity. Aligned with this vision is Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban 2.0 which urges all to adopt a healthy & swachh lifestyle for a brighter future.
