Yoga: Reducing Disease, Building Health
"As we enter a new millennium, more and more people are seeking lifestyle changes that foster mental and spiritual well-being as well as physical health and fitness. As a result of this trend, the ancient discipline of yoga is currently undergoing a widespread renaissance," says Wai Lana, world-renowned yoga teacher and host of the internationally aired TV series Wai Lana Yoga. "People are more aware than ever of the health benefits of physical activity and fitness," continues Wai Lana. "Regular exercise has been linked to a reduction in the risk of heart disease, strokes, and cancer. Although it is common knowledge that exercise helps build and maintain healthy bones, muscles, and joints, reduces blood pressure, and promotes psychological well-being, there is increasing consensus among health and fitness experts that physical activity doesn't need to be strenuous to be effective. Yoga offers the perfect combination of strength and flexibility." "Yoga's roots date back around five thousand years, when
it was established as a form of meditation.
The Sanskrit word 'yoga' means 'union,' and practicing yoga ultimately brings
one back in touch with the state of union, or oneness, that exists at the core
of every being," she added. Information provided by www.wailana.com. Wai Lana is the foremost authority on yoga, hosting the world's most-watched show, Wai Lana Yoga, which airs on five continents, including nationally in the U.S. on PBS, cable and satellite. Featured Product
