Understanding yoga on a deeper level

Benefits of yoga

# ONE - PHYSICAL
A clinical study shows now that yoga reduces or eliminates inflammation. 
Inflammation is widespread and is the underlying condition of serious illnesses like cancer, heart disease and diabetes, just name a few.
The word inflame contains the word flame, this means hot. There is too much heat  in the body.
Yoga is calming and cooling and therefore reduces or eliminates inflammation in the body. 
The risk for degenerative diseases diminishes.
