Effect of Hatha Yoga on Physical Fitness

By Shiv Kant

Yoga is a historical foundation for healthiness and happiness in life. It is very helpful

for harmony of mind and the body. Yoga is the way of becoming physically and

mentally wellbeing. It contemporizes the function of the muscle and the mind. It is a

path that can lead us towards health (Batch, 1987).

Yoga is not a very old story buried in nothingness. It is the most valuable and

important need of today and the culture of tomorrow (Satyananda, 1969).

It is a mode of existence (life). It is a perfect procedure to educate our body, mind and

inner spirit. This is an art of best living which was practised in India thousands of

years ago but as yoga deals with full harmony of life; its instructions are applicable

today as they were in the primordial period. Some people think yoga belongs to one

religion but its benefits were experienced by the Buddhists, Jews, Muslims,

Christians, Hindus and the Atheists also. Yoga is in unification together with each and

every one (Kindersley, 1996).

'Our ancestors developed yoga towards combination of the body, intellect and spirit,

the same time as harmonious complete' (Satyananda, 1969).

Yoga is a science and method of precise living. It is working on each and every aspect

of human beings life: the bodily, very important intellectual and emotional

(Satyananda, 1969).
