Yoga is a physical, mental, and spiritual practice that originated in ancient India. It combines physical postures (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayama), and meditation to promote overall well-being, balance, and harmony. Meditation, on the other hand, is a practice that trains the mind to focus and relax through mindfulness, concentration, and visualization. Since yoga and meditation are a solution to all disturbances in today's fast-running life, promoting a healthy lifestyle is essential to maintain a healthy and progressive society.
