For many people, yoga probably
means some impossible physical postures. This is a distorted idea of
yoga. Yoga means to be in perfect tune; your body, mind and spirit are
in absolute harmony with existence. When you fine-tune yourself to such a
point that everything functions beautifully within you, the best of
your abilities will naturally flow out of you. Have you noticed that
when you are happy you have endless energy? Even if you don’t eat or
sleep, you can go on. Just a little happiness liberates you from your
normal limitations of energy and capability.
Yoga is the science of activating
your inner energies in such a way that your body, mind and emotions
function at their highest peak. When your body and mind function in a
completely different state of relaxation and a certain level of
blissfulness, you can be released from so many things that most people
suffer from. Suppose you have a throbbing headache, it is not a major
disease but it takes away your capability for the entire day. With the
practice of yoga, your body and mind can be kept at their highest
possible peak.
