Benefits of Joint Exercise in the Practice of Classical Yoga

Abstract

Unlike many other types of sports, yoga works on the physical, mental, emotional and psychic planes. This explains why the entire body must be mentally and physically prepared before one indulges in any type of asana (posture) be it a beginner or advanced posture. It is imperative for one to also understand that yoga is not a form of exercise but merely a system which involves subtle processes to help manipulate the energy within the biological system.
