Step 7: Practice Yoga

Yoga has a lot of health benefits aside from the spiritual harmony that many
people think it is all about. Experts call it the culmination of exercise and
relaxation combined because you are able to achieve both without the physical
toll.

When you practice yoga, you are able to enter deeper relaxation through the
intense meditation and breathing exercise required. Also at the same time, your
body undergoes rigorous training as it is forced to maintain difficult positions,
stretching, and balance. Furthermore, the mental concentration needed to achieve
all of these is also intense because you have to focus your mind on only one
thing with utter disregard of any distractions from the environment.

There are other forms of yoga that allow you to focus more on either the
physical or mental aspect without completely sacrificing any. Bikram yoga, a
yoga done in a heated room, is still mental but is more physical. Bhramari
pranayama, on the other hand, is a type of breathing yoga that is more mental but
still requires physical accuracy.
