Origin Of Yoga: Connection With The Mind, Body and Spirit 

Yoga's purpose is unifying the body, mind, and spirit. A series of postures, 
breathing exercises, and meditation achieve this connection. With the 
integration of the body, mind and spirit, you can attain a physical and mental 
balance in your life as well as abundant inner peace.
 The practice of yoga begins in the mind. It doesn't matter your physical 
strength, flexibility, weight, or experience. Yoga is a practice that you are 
encouraged to work at your own pace, never requiring anything more than you have 
to give at that particular moment. Yoga is completely for yourself. Practice can 
be as intense or as simple as you need it to be. Yoga teachers never push you to 
do more than you can do. It's completely your practice, your 30 minutes - 1 1/2 
hours (depending on the type of yoga) you are giving to yourself. It is a gift 
to you! 
When your mind is able to concentrate fully on your yoga practice the 
unification of body, mind, and spirit takes place. This is the beneficial 
intention of practicing yoga. There are many situations where you may be 
struggling with problems and are continuously thinking about them. The problems 
keep you awake even at night. Your sleep deprived, stressed, and miserable. 
There aren't any immediate solutions and most of your time is spent worrying. 
Your mind is so preoccupied and full of difficulties. You are no longer living 
in the present moment and find that your happiness is suffering. Along with many 
other psychological medical conditions depression may be setting in. Does this 
sound familiar? Do you question yourself about being depressed? You may find 
yourself taking those quizzes in the doctor's office and notice you answered 
"yes" to most of them. 
Yoga is a great tool for an overactive mind and alleviating depression. Yoga 
when practiced properly, quiets the mind and develops peace and tranquility for 
the mind and body. You should try making yoga practice a daily routine in your 
life. Dealing with life's difficulties and a unsettled mind will seem less 
stressful. You will be better prepared to deal with these problems through 
greater mental control and patience. If you looking for something to help you 
better deal with stress while improving your physical body through toning, 
strengthening and conditioning you cannot go wrong beginning a yoga program. 
A yoga program can help you find solutions to problems you may have never 
considered. Deep concentration and breathing during yoga develops amazing 
listening skills, patience and relaxation allowing your mind to empty. You will 
find yourself in a quieter place.
