Yoga is the Art and science of living with happiness and consciousness. Yoga is a discovery of one’s inner physical, mental and spiritual abilities for the complete well-being of a person. It is a pearl of ancient wisdom based on consistently developing body, mind, and spirit to a higher level. Continued yoga practice provides a sense of happiness, peace, and well-being, as well as the feeling of being connected with the surrounding environment and the self. Daily yoga makes one's body full of energy, strong, and flexible and boosts immunity by boosting complete health. During 200 yoga teacher training courses, Yogi Chetan Mahesh observed that yoga improves the functioning of circulatory, respiratory, digestive, blood flow, and hormonal structures. It also brings emotional stability and clarity of mind within a person observed during the one-week yoga retreats and yoga ttc program at AYM.
Different forms of yoga are popular now, such as Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Iyengar, Vinyasa Flow, Power yoga, Tantra, and Kundalini yoga. Each style has its source in the history of yoga, and every style benefits in one way or another.

Many Yoga techniques increase blood circulation and provide more oxygen to body cells, resulting in their better functioning and rejuvenation. Research shows that yoga can boost haemoglobin levels and the count of red blood cells in a few weeks during yoga teacher training in India.
Asana alignment improves body alignment and the skeletal system, removing body defects. When your head is balanced directly over your erect spine, it removes prana blockages and increases energy in the body. Neck alignment minimizes the work required for your neck and back muscles to support it.
Yoga exercises increase blood circulation in the bones which improve the strength of bones and help keep osteoporosis at bay. Yoga has many postures which require you to lift your own weight. Asanas like Downward- and Upward-Facing Dog, help strengthen the arm bones, considered quite vulnerable to osteoporotic fractures.
Yoga helps build muscular strength. When you build strength through asana, you do so while balancing it with flexibility. It also protects from bone-related ailments such as arthritis and back pain.
While doing asana, when you contract and stretch your muscles, move your organs around, and come in and out of yoga postures, you increase the circulation of lymph (a viscous fluid rich in immune cells), which in turn helps boost your immunity. This helps the lymphatic system to fight infection, destroy diseased cells, and dispose of the harmful waste products that come out of cellular functioning.
An important element of yoga is- to focus. It has been found that regular practice of yoga helps improve coordination, reduces reaction time, and improves memory. People, who do yoga with great focus, do not get distracted easily by people or by other things.
Regular practice of yoga increases proprioception (the ability of your body, of what it is doing and where is it present in space) and improves the body’s balancin power. Better balance means fewer falls and fewer injuries.
