It's really no wonder that yoga has become such a prevalent part of our lifestyles nowadays. Sanskrit, which is the Indo-European language of India's time-honored sacred texts called the Vedas, created the concept of yoga. The word "Sanskrit" itself is defined as "well-formed, refined, perfect or polished," and the word "yoga" means "to put to active and purposeful use." So it can be said that yoga is a terrific means for us to put ourselves to "active and purposeful use" in order to become more "refined" or "polished!" A good yoga session can leave you feeling lighter, clearer, and refreshed, without exerting much physical energy. Just by being mindful of the way you breathe, and concentrating your mind on your body and its chakras will instill in you a sense of peace like you've never felt before. With the right techniques on hand, you can heal, balance, tune, and boost your chakras effortlessly. This bonus consists of 7 simple yet powerful yoga positions that can help you greet each day with a peaceful joy, or cleanse your body and mind of the day's stress and vexations. 3
