YOGA
Yoga is a group of physical,
mental, and spiritual practices or disciplines which originated in ancient
India, but only gained prominence in the
West in the 20th century, in Sanskrit, the word yoga comes from the root yuj
which means "to add", "to join", "to unite", or
"to attach" .
The ultimate goal of Yoga is
to learn to control the body and the mind with a path to omniscience and
enlightened consciousness ,Yoga has been studied and may be recommended to
promote relaxation, reduce stress and can improve some medical conditions and
is considered to be a low-impact activity that can provide the same benefits as
"any well-designed exercise program". It is particularly promoted as
a physical therapy routine, and as a regimen to strengthen and balance all
parts of the body.
Yoga could be a useful in
addition to other treatments in schizophrenia, and may have positive effects on
mental health. It is claimed that yoga can be an excellent training for children
and adolescents, both as a form of physical exercise and for breathing, focus,
mindfulness, and stress relief: many school districts have considered
incorporating yoga into their Physical Education programs.
