I love yoga. There is nothing more simple, or more true, that I can say about it. Yet, why? Why do I love it so much? Well, there are several reason I can sight. One major point is that it stills my mind. Another is that it gives me more balance and equanimity, but perhaps the main thing that I love is how yoga works with the body. Yoga is a true example of form following function. That is, the yogis of the past found the poses, breathes, and visual focus which worked with the natural mechanics of the body. My family-line has had many skeletal problems for generations, and for many years, I too felt doomed to these same problems, and indeed, began to manifest them. Yet when I found yoga, I found a system which worked with the natural dynamics of the body. Yoga helped to correct the problems in my body, most of which were based in poor posture and a lack of use: no stretching, lack of full range of motion, laziness, slouching...
Yoga can do these things for you too. Check into it. No matter where you are in your life, no matter how poorly your body is functioning, you can improve your situation with yoga. Whether you are recovering, suffering from a congenital problem or just needing to get some exercise, yoga has something to offer. Yoga works because it works with the natural way the body is made to move. So get moving, get to breathing. Sweat and allow you body to BE. Yoga can improve your life because it works with your natural system; your natural skeletal design and your breathing, which is the basis of a healthy body and a healthy life.
