Yoga is an ancient East-Asian practice that is supposed to help the body strengthen its connection with nature, and achieve an inner Truth through relaxation, meditation, and spiritual introspection. It is quite popular in today’s culture and is practiced by tens of thousands of individuals regularly.
It’s popularity stems in part from the fact that it is a holistic practice that focuses on the well-being of the body as well on the soul, and recognizes the sacred connection between the two. Go to any Yoga class, and they will explain to you that it is more than any old exercise routine. The poses in any routine are designed keeping in mind the spiritual foundation of the practice, and aims to create a balance with your surroundings.

The routine has ten steps, in a circular form, beginning and ending on the same pose, facing upwards with your back straight, and throughout the routine, you are meant to alternate your breathing movements.
Modern life is quite stressful, with all its distractions and painful realities, but focusing on the good things in life, and being grateful for your blessings can do a lot to not only relax you, but help you achieve mental clarity and help you define a higher purpose in your own life.
