The Impact Of Yoga Culture

By Annabelle Holman


It plays a major role in shaping the lives of those who indulge in it. Culture is a generally accepted way of living and doing things that is subscribed to by a group of people or a society as right. Yoga culture keeps attracting a larger following as more people realise its significance. It works through connecting the mind and the body into one element. This is done through controlling the nervous system and ensuring it works properly. The nerve system is known to influence how the body reacts to some diseases like stroke.

It was initiated five thousand years ago in India by the spiritual guides mostly of the Buddha religion. Its mode of transmission was by a teacher who tried to pass wisdom to a student. It was based on three elements. The first was relaxed breathing, proper meditation was the second and exercise of the entire body followed. These three were equally important.

Classified under a type or form of a physical exercise and a philosophy. A philosophy is more than a theory as it contains more proof and less criticism. Kindly note that although it has a religious foundation it is not categorised as one. With time it lets the body repair and prevent some diseases especially the ones associated with the nervous system. The student is able to learn how to control the bodily desires too.

It can be practiced for various reasons. Important in attaining a goal as it enables a person to focus, controlling your body, attaining consciousness and self awareness happens when the body is still and silent, that is when the soul speaks.

It has medical benefits. Recommended for cancer patients as it helps them to relax and control the pain. It is also administered to people struggling with addictions like alcohol and other drug abuse. Good in reducing stress, depression, fatigue and sleep disorders. Its also helpful in combating digestive disorders like constipation.

In the twenty first century more people have realised the benefits of being physically fit. This practice enables the body to maintain an upright posture. An average weight and a good respiratory system as it exercises the lungs.Due to these reasons, it is taken up as a sport.

This practise has different schools which have a specific goal. Most of them have separated the human form into three with five important sheets. The epic center is the spinal cord and the diaphragm, this is where the person draws up energy. Jainism is a school that enables the person to control his thoughts and thus focus on nothing else but the soul.

Buddhism uses the tool of focus and insight to understand one self before trying to comprehend the entire universe. A lot of silence is required during the sessions. Another school is Hinduism which works through freeing the mind from all emotional attachments. Shavaism works a little bit differently, it brings together the mind to be in complete understanding and balance with the universe. Some postures done during the sessions are not safe for expectant women or small kids thus it is not advisable for them to take it up.
