I agree with you.  regular practice of yoga and meditation will keep one hale and healthy. The best part of Yoga cure is, It is a non invasive therapy.It doesn; have any side effects like Allopathic medicines.

Yoga is an integration of body ,mind and soul. In today's stressful life we really need yoga and Meditation to relax ourselves and remain fit...

Basically what we need is meditation and any form of exercise that helps us keep fit, brisk walking or a few minutes of ones own exercise routine as helpful as Yoga..Yoga does not give you the cardio vascular benefits and its effects are much slower pertaining mainly to flexibility of the body . Walking and jogging are much better since they take care of all aspects ..

Yoga and meditation is mostly beneficial for dealing with stressful conditions. It help a person to relax the mind. But as rightly pointed out by Usha it rather a slow process and might not be a right way for burning large calories.

Notwithstanding the demerit, yoga is becoming very popular nowadays. Even here at Imphal, its popularity has raised in the last few years and in many of the locality people especially old people meet at community hall in early morning and practice yoga together for an hour or so.

Yoga is the panacea for various Health disorders.It helps to cure Diabetes Digestive disorders, chronic fatigue asthma and heart conditions. Yoga gives the Practitioner. everlasting bliss and mental peace.

Besides the benefits you said, there are various benefits of Yoga

The yoga originated in India, but western people made fun of us and said how one can control over disease and keep himself fit by doing yoga, they propagated chemical medicines instead, and make fun of our culture.

Allopathy is based on chemicals and it is the most effective and efficient method if cure and we should be thankful to all those scores of do tors and scientists world over for the enormous progress they have made in medical sciences. Having said that I have never cone across any western nation making fun of yoga because yoga was popular in UK and USA 20 years ago and continues to gain in popularity. But it had its limitations too so no point in going overboard!
