To understand “The science of yoga“, we need to understand what is yoga, where it originated and what is its importance in our lives?

Yoga has its origin in ancient India. Most of the credit for bringing yoga to the masses goes to Maharishi Patanjali.

The Yoga Sutras of Patañjali are 196 Indian sutras. The Yoga Sutras were compiled prior to 400 CE by Sage Patanjali taking materials about yoga from older traditions. The Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali was the most translated ancient Indian text in the medieval era, having been translated into about forty Indian languages and two non-Indian languages.

The text fell into obscurity for nearly 700 years from the 12th to 19th centuries and made a comeback in the late 19th century due to the efforts of Swami Vivekanand. It gained prominence again as a comeback classic in the 20th century. (Credit: Wikipedia)

Is yoga spreading its wings

Till now yoga was treated as some spiritual phenomenon originated in the East specifically in India. The main reason was that unlike western methods, which are more reason-based and experimentally approved, yoga has its origin from a totally different kind of thinking.

Yoga cleans our bodies from inner to outer by focusing on the root cause of a disease. Working from the root of any illness has the advantage of its total eradication, so chances of backfire are rare. To explain it further let’s take an example of common cough and cold. It is the most common form of illness but once contracted takes 4-5 days or more get completely cured.

Can yoga keep your brain ageless?

Why yoga?

 

It’s a big claim indeed. But yoga keeps your brain from growing old. And there is enough evidence to prove this theory.

While most people feel that yoga reduces depression and anxiety, even physicians and scientists are surprised to find out that yoga changes brain functioning.

study published in the Frontiers in Human Neuroscience in  May 2015, uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain to show that yoga protects the brain from the decline in grey matter, as we age. People with more yoga practices had grey matter volumes matching to younger people. In other words, yoga could protect your brain from shrinking as you get older.

Why is yoga so popular

So apart from so many benefits yoga renders in our life, the reasons behind the popularity of yoga are quite different. The yoga practices are not about changing the brain, body,  or experiencing greater happiness and joy.  Yoga aims to combine all those things. In an environment where we rush from one day to the next, constantly trying to change our health, our body, or our emotions, or to plan our future, yoga opens up the possibility of connecting to what we already have — to who we already are.
