Hi

I'm practising yoga from last one month, and I don't know how yoga heals?

I'll really appreciate your replies.

Thanks

Hi

Yoga has been used as a therapy for cancer, heart disease, infertility, lung disease, insomnia, high blood pressure, and joint pain. Medical researchers have shown that 90 percent of diseases are related to stress. The feeling of ?stress? is the product of the sympathetic nervous system or its response as an almost instantaneous surge in heart rate, blood pressure, cardiac output, sweating, shallow breathing, and metabolism. If a person is under stress continually for a long time, it is harmful.
Yoga lays the emphasis on pranayama exercises (long, deep breathing) and conscious relaxation activates the parasympathetic nervous system. Yoga also reduces the release of stress hormone 'cortisol' in the blood. Meditation is a very easy way to get relief from stress.
