Yoga's impact on students' fitness traits

Tirumalai Krishnamacharya (18 November 1888 – 28 February 1989) was an Indian yoga teacher, ayurvedic healer and scholar. He is seen as one of the most important Guru’s of Modern yoga, and is often called "the father of modern yoga" for his wide influence on the development of postural yoga.
India is the birthplace of yoga, an ancient branch of Hindu philosophy. It has a spiritual and physical component. Yoga incorporates breathing exercises, meditation, and movement. It enhances well-being and health. The Sanskrit word for unification is yoga. The father of traditional yoga was Patanjali. As "the cessation of the transformation of the mind," he defined yoga (stopping changing the mind) and also Citta, according to Swami Vivekananda, is the mechanism used to comprehend the outside world. Citta comes in three main forms:
- Manas: the lower mind's consciousness
2.The ego is Ahamkara.
3.Intelligence, Mahat
While a yoga practitioner will switch between asanas (postures), there are other crucial elements to yoga, such as breath exercises, mantras, mudras (postures of the hands and fingers), meditation, and much more (for more information, check out the Yoga Sutras). For instance, the "sun-salutation," which consists of 12 poses of asanas, is supposed to help body and spirit in harmony. Each asana corresponds to a particular mantra. The "Suryanamaskar" is the common name for the "sun salutation."
Yoga is the total renunciation of "Citta's" functional modification. It is impossible to translate the word "citta" into the word "mind." Citta is active in a wide sense at all levels of the body, including the coarse level, where sense organ feeling is present, the level of the mind, which includes the sub-conscious and unconscious levels, and even the level above the mind, known as the supra-conscious level.
The primary root of human unhappiness, which includes moral, religious, physical, and psychological problems, has been characterized as self-estrangement, alienation from existence, and loss of contact with being. He gets overly focused on the outside world as a result of feeling cut off from everything. He ignores the inner conflicts within himself that hold the key to his problem. This crucial element is emphasized in yoga. It aims to produce that vital existential experience that re-establishes a person's connection to their deepest selves. The goal of the disciplined practise of yoga is to reach and realize complete emancipation.
