Philosophy:

Yoga should not be limited to only physical activities because it is more about our mental state. It is a connection between our mind and soul. Meditation is part of working on our mind. It is not only inhaling and exhaling, but when we breathe we should focus our brain on only breathing process. All the thoughts about our life e.g. “I have to go for laundry today”,”Write an article”, “Wash car” should be ignored for a while. It relaxes our mind and increases the lifespan of our brain.

Nowadays, our lifestyle is rapidly changing, so stress factor in our daily life is increasing and in addition lack of exercise makes it worse. We are running over becoming successful and earning money, but forgetting the well said phrase “Health is wealth”. Nothing is more important than our physical and mental health. What is the meaning of having a luxurious car, but also having a back pain. Doing a well paid job, but stressing about life. Our happiness should not be measured by our income. Success is not about becoming a millionaire, but how happy you are and how fit you are physically and mentally.

One should do at least 12 rounds of Suryanamskars every day. It makes great impact on our life. Invest your time for your health instead of stress.
