Yoga is one of the exercise that has a history of five hundred years. The yoga poses are designed so that an individual get in to the path of evolution and all his/her body parts coordinates to achieve the goal. The breathing techniques in yoga helps us to intake large amount of energy and to us it combat physical and psychological problems or the meditation practices help us increase our concentration and improve our memory and learning ability. One of the benefits of yoga is that it is a genuine sport and it is highly beneficial for everyone regardless of their age and gender.

Our body itself is not unfamiliar of yoga. Since we were in cradle, we all used to stretch our hands and legs and bend our head downwards to eliminate our tiredness, unaware of the fact that we have been practicing yoga.

Yoga has three major forms and the Hatha yoga or Physical Yoga is the most known one. Hatha Yoga is poses for different parts of our body like stretching and pausing and restarting the poses with the breathing techniques with high concentration. Hatha Yoga is the collection of poses and positions that is called Asanas, Breathing techniques called Pranayama and mental healing trainings of Pratyhara.
