blog is informative. Is there any scientific research, survey and analysis on the effectiveness of yoga.
Though it is said to be less costly compared to other ways of keeping healthy mind and body, but where to get the professional coaching for yoga? Again this may be costly. Further, daily we may have to spare sizable time also. Though there is no doubt that the yoga will be very useful.
