Good morning to one and all present here. Today, I’ll be giving a short speech on the importance of yoga.
Google defines yoga to be “a Hindu spiritual and ascetic discipline, a part of which, including breath control, simple meditation, and the adoption of specific bodily postures, is widely practised for health and relaxation.” From the mere meaning, it can be gathered that yoga is important to maintain good health of the body.
The first reason yoga is important is because it helps straighten one’s posture. Bad posture could lead to several health disorders and can be easily avoided with the help of simple yoga exercises.
Secondly, yoga helps regulate the breathing pattern of the body. Meditation which accompanies yoga is important to rid ourselves of everyday stress.
Yoga, in general, makes our body fit. By helping with our balance, it helps establish control over our limbs and also helps in strengthening our joints.
Lastly, yoga is proven to enhance our body’s natural healing process in case of injuries.
Thank you.
