Importance of Yoga
Yoga is not a religion; it is a way of living that aims towards 'a healthy mind in a healthy body'.
Man is a physical, mental and spiritual being; yoga helps promote a balanced development of all the three. Other forms of physical exercises, like aerobics, assure only physical well-being. They have little to do with the development of the spiritual or astral body.
