Asanas have another responsibility and importance from the point of view of physical health.

"The organs of the human body are made up of tissues. This is the reason why the health of human body depends on the health of tissues. According to physiology, there are three conditions of health of the different tissues of the human body. These are:-

i) Constant supply of proper nourishment and of the internal secretions of the endocrine glands,

ii) Effective removal of waste products; and

iii) Healthy functioning of the nerve-connections. Cultural poses are fully capable of fulfilling these conditions."

Yoga is not a religion, but is a powerful technique for self-realisation. It teaches us to live in the present, without worry, stress or anger. We make peace with ourselves, and from this inner harmony, comes peace in our relationships. This makes Yoga of immense relevance to our age. It is our hope at the Universal Yoga Centre that by studying this great science, you may find the true meaning of life, and go on to make the world a better place. May you be well and happy !
