If you've noticed a sudden change in your usual practice, it could be something that you haven't really thought of as the culprit!
Bad air quality!
Yoga as a Holistic Approach:
Practicing yoga enables us to purify our body and mind. It helps to create a connection between our outer body and inner self which helps us attain complete awareness about our surroundings.
A pivotal part of yoga is “pranayama” which is a combination of two Sanskrit words; "Prana" which means vital life force and “Yama” which means control.
Pranayama all and all is a deep breathing practice, so clean and pure air plays a significant role in exercising yoga.
Have you ever encountered a situation where you found yourself in a suffocating and stuffy room, struggling to breathe deeply and properly?
Situations like these often create a feeling of restriction and uneasiness! Breathing impure air can be a reason. The act of breathing clean air is very crucial because it maintains the amount of oxygen inhaled and carbon dioxide exhaled which is a prerequisite for a healthy and happy life. Air pollution is a serious threat as it negatively affects the environment and our health.
Breathing polluted and impure air can lead to...
Mild discomfort like coughing, eye irritation, chest tightness
Serious problems like reduced lung function and irregular heartbeats
Increased fatigue and decreased athletic performance.
All this will eventually affect your yoga practice negatively!
Clean and unpolluted air is very crucial for our well-being and thus it is something that can’t be ignored, especially when it comes to its role in yoga.
Yoga is majorly designed to:
Improve our breathing practice
Provide strength to our muscles and
To improve flexibility.
However, while talking about air pollution, many people forget to address the menace of "Indoor Air Quality". Polluted indoor air quality makes these yoga goals tougher and more challenging to achieve. It can hinder our breathing ability and thus can impact our overall physical well-being.
Clean Air is Necessary because:
The flow of life force energy, prana, throughout the body stimulates certain regions and parts, helping us heighten our awareness.
Not only that but exposure to unpolluted indoor air plays a very crucial role carries a huge significance in facilitating optimal cellular functioning within the body.
It bolsters the immune system by providing the necessary oxygen levels that are required by white blood cells to combat pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, or other harmful microorganisms.
Additionally, since oxygen influences the release of serotonin, a hormone associated with well-being, breathing in clean air can contribute to an elevated mood and increased feelings of happiness.
