Yoga refers to the unity of the body and mind and unity of the mind and soul. In Western cultures, people believed that gaps between the actual bodies and ideal bodies are increasing. This is because of two major reasons: lack of exercises and unhealthy diets leading to diabetes and obesity.
The practice of Asana through Pranayama can bring flexibility to the body, calmness to the mind, and balance. This can provide basic trainings with some simple asanas. There are five simple points need to be followed: Proper Breathing; Proper Exercise; Proper Diet; Positive Thinking and Mediation; and Proper Relaxation.
Yoga meditation can give people something which nothing else can. The individuals are introduced to the different levels of themselves. Yoga meditation can bring calmness, tranquility of the mind, better health, better life, better relationships, personal insights, spiritual insights, philosophical insights, and a true sense of wellness.

Body Mind & Breath
Hatha Yoga is one structure of meditation. Each posture, each breathing practice is considered as meditation forms. It calms the body, mind, and breath. Practicing this for about an hour can help people feel more relaxed for several hours because they have achieved serenity and peace. This could be a very great meditation practice.
The asanas compared to various forms of exercises are completely different. These are normally done with fast movement and within specific amounts of strain. Exercises can accelerate breathing, waste energy, and draw circulation on the body's surface. In the end, it develops the muscular parts of the body. This means that the vitality goes with the muscles at the costs of the internal nerves and glands.
According to the Founder of the Yoga teaching, Sri Bhagavan Patanjali, asana in literal meaning is a posture which brings comfort and steadiness. So, asanas must be practiced with extreme comfort and ease.
The cleansing method of Yoga called NETI-nasal cleansing is an extreme powerful technique yet the most simplest. Neti can work wonders for allergies, several asthma cases, and chronic sinusitis. The effect is very remarkable for hay fevers, an infection on the upper respiratory tract.
In the United States, there are more than 40 million sufferers of sinusitis. Most of them failed to be cured by antibiotics. Jalaneti or neti is the best method of treating sinuses naturally.
Neti is also excellent for people who wanted to quit smoking. It is because the tendency for breathing through the mouth is reduced. The nose is re-sensitized by neti on the concrete pollution of smoke ingestion thus it de-programs the brain from psychological and physical addiction. Yoga meditation is really helpful for achieving a great and healthy body.
