Yoga as an intrinsic system of physical exercise exists on the holy land of
India since times immemorial. It is the ultimate source of physical fitness
as well as mental ecstasy as proved by modern science. Although its origin
is ancient by nature, modern science has now accepted the benefits of yoga
on body and mind.
Yoga is now being reintroduced and promoted in modern ways to reach each
nook and corner of the world. In the stressful modern times, yoga comes as a
pleasant respite and is believed to have the surest cures for man’s physical
as well as psychological ailments. Yoga has a therapeutic effect not only on
the external organs of the body but also on the internal functioning of the
body. Any yogi practicing yoga acquires a positive attitude and outlook
towards life.

The ancient yoga concentrates on the eight stages for total bliss. Yoga,
apart from teaching physical postures, teaches one about social, mental and
individual discipline, breath control, concentration, meditation and
self-realization. Today, Baba Ramdev is a renowned name in India as well as
the world of yoga, who has taken serious measures to introduce Yoga in a new
way to the whole world.
