There are many theories about yoga. General question is: How it works and how different it is from any other physical activity to maintain general fitness.

Yoga is different from any other physical activity done for the body fitness and the very essence of it lies in the word ‘Yoga’ a Sanskrit word that means ‘sum total’ of something. Yoga thus is the sum total of body and mind.

Yoga is a practice to achieve the ‘sum total’ of body and mind. Any other fitness activity works for physical wellbeing while a practitioner of Yoga tries to establish a right balance between body and mind.

Yoga has some novel effects. It increases mindfulness traits and decreases stress levels due to the practitioner’s continuous efforts to establish harmony between body and mind.
