I remember my journey when I was introduced to this holistic approach of practising yoga. I always had weight issues and had tried many things from gymming to trying out a healthy diet, but nothing seemed to work. Yoga came as a boon to me and helped me shed those extra kilos. But I had to be very patient and consistent with my routine. I made it a part of my lifestyle and started practising it in my daily routine. Within a few months, I could feel the change in myself and how losing weight made me more confident about myself.
This was just to show you the importance of yoga. Yoga has been since ancient times used to heal the soul and body. It cleanses the system from within and provides inner peace and contentment. Studies have shown how yoga has been a stress buster and relieved many ailments and problems. Losing weight is also one of these. There are many asanas targeting solely to lose weight. Everybody in today’s world wants to look good and maintain themselves. People are very conscious of their eating habits and sometimes dieting to lose weight. But along with that if yoga is also practised, it can give dual benefits. Yoga keeps us healthy and fit. It helps in keeping in shape and maintains the overall health of the body.

Breath of fire through the left nostril. It takes only 11 minutes a day and it's free!!!
"We are not making any claims, but there is a breath meditation in Kundalini Yoga which according to yoga, creates a \"benign radiation\" in the body, which no virus can withstand. Block your right nostril with your right index finger, raise your left hand up (as if you are taking an oath) and have your ring finger tip and thumb tip meeting. Do Breath of Fire through the left nostril for 11-31 minutes. To end, clasp your hands in front of your face, palms facing inwards, thumbs on top, inhale hold your breath and try to pull your hands apart 3X. Part 1 works on the nerves. Part 2 works on the immune system."

"Breath of fire is fire but the left nostril is water.
The left side of the body is moon but the ring finger is sun.
These oposites create a healing dynamic in the body to spark your immune system and optimize everything.
So have faith in that fact as you breathe.
And also according to yoga, this technique can make your inner talent your outer expression.
It can help you cultivate the gifts you never knew you had.
Make this part of your life and it will make your life.
Let people say what they will regarding these claims.
Practice perfectly and initiate yourself into the society of those who understand what's truly possible."
From the dvd "Yoga House Call" (formerly Dr. Yoga House Call) with Ana Bret and Ravi Singh
