Over the past centuries it is gaining more popularity. Culture can be defined as a way of life accepted by a group of people as the appropriate and right way to live. Yoga culture is a form of mind exercise that tries to join together the mind and the body. More people are realizing the benefits of this philosophy. It is very effective as it works through controlling the nervous system which controls our health.

It was initiated five thousand years ago in India by the spiritual guides mostly of the Buddha religion. Its mode of transmission was by a teacher who tried to pass wisdom to a student. It was based on three elements. The first was relaxed breathing, proper meditation was the second and exercise of the entire body followed. These three were equally important.

Classified under a type or form of a physical exercise and a philosophy. A philosophy is more than a theory as it contains more proof and less criticism. Kindly note that although it has a religious foundation it is not categorised as one. With time it lets the body repair and prevent some diseases especially the ones associated with the nervous system. The student is able to learn how to control the bodily desires too.

It can be practiced for various reasons. Important in attaining a goal as it enables a person to focus, controlling your body, attaining consciousness and self awareness happens when the body is still and silent, that is when the soul speaks.

Commonly recommended in the treatment of diseases. Helps to get rid of stress, reduce pain caused by some kinds of cancer, eliminate depression, eliminate sleep disorders, reduce fatigue, reduce addictions to drugs and bad habits. In total it helps to promotes self healing.

For people who want to maintain a level of physical fitness. This is a good sport. It helps to control breathing by exercising lungs, it also maintain muscle fitness and a good body posture and weight. This is also a form of empowerment and self recognition which grows with time.

The practice divides the human body into three body parts and five sheets. The central part being the spinal and the diaphragm. There are different schools of yoga. The most known is Jainism which aims at knowing the self and taking the soul to a state of complete freedom. It concentrates on how to control your thoughts and feelings.

Buddhism uses the tool of focus and insight to understand one self before trying to comprehend the entire universe. A lot of silence is required during the sessions. Another school is Hinduism which works through freeing the mind from all emotional attachments. Shavaism works a little bit differently, it brings together the mind to be in complete understanding and balance with the universe. Some postures done during the sessions are not safe for expectant women or small kids thus it is not advisable for them to take it up.
