Yoga is an important part of many lives today. Although it is considered a type of exercise, it has the potential to affect the emotional and psychological health of the individual, not just the physical state. Today's society is much faster paced that ever before. People have more stress problems which lead to more health problems, mental and physical. There are more concerns with toxicity in the food we eat and the air we breathe. Millions of Americans today live a sedentary lifestyle, which is associated with obesity. The body, the cavities of our soul, was not meant to deteriorate in such a way that leads to disease. Yoga was developed over 5,000 years ago in India and it included spiritual beliefs, physical techniques, and scholarly philosophy.

How to Use Yoga has been written by senior teacher Mira Mehta, one of today's leading exponents of yoga in the style of B. K. S. Iyengar. She presents a practical philosophy that unites body, mind, and spirit for health and fulfillment. With over 450 color photographs, this book acts as a guide in achieving a fit and flexible body through the practice of yoga postures (asanas) and breathing techniques (pranayama). These practices work on all body systems, stimulating circulation, toning muscles, and improving overall health. Best of all, the author makes this powerful antidote to the stresses of modern life accessible to those who want to practice at home-safely and effectively.

All you need to know about herbs, nutrients, and yoga for enhancing mental health.

If you're dealing with back pain, yoga may be just what the doctor ordered. Yoga is a mind-body therapy that's often recommended to treat not only back pain but the stress that accompanies it. The appropriate poses can relax and strengthen your body. Practicing yoga for even a few minutes a day can help you gain more awareness of your body. This will help you notice where you're holding tension and where you have imbalances. You can use this awareness to bring yourself into balance and alignment. For me, It has become my part of life from the moment when I was having a lower back problem. My problem has become mitigated magically with the practice of Yoga. Before trying Yoga, I have been to many doctors for my back problems and have taken many medicines. However, It didn't work. Then I started to go to the physiotherapist. She introduced me to some yoga poses. I was surprised by the recovery which I have got after doing that yoga consistently. From that point, I have started to explore these ancient techniques and have got understandings of Yoga and Pranayama. It has not only changed my body flexibility but also provided me with a stress-free sound mind. As a result of that, I think yoga is a way to prepare oneself for getting success in life. I have written this book to give the reader the knowledge to do various types of yoga and pranayama to control the fitness of both body and mind. My advice is that read this book and practice these yogas and pranayamas to get benefits.
