Yoga Obsession

Its been few days that I got myself enrolled into Yoga after a long break of 2 years , Its an awesome experience to resume the asana's and I feel that my body has been really rigid with no yoga for ages. I know I have been really lazy :D that I can write a book on virtues of laziness, Only when I browse the pages of Angelina Jolie / Shilpa shetty I give up the idea of virtue of laziness and spring back into yoga ;-) . I am writing this blog not to prove that I am feeling like a champ resuming yoga but I have returned to my cherished activity.

Facts:
I heard that there are 84 lakh postures that means to say , I will never be able to master the art of yoga :) but definitely learn to maintain good state of health and well being. Also , all the postures mimic animals and their carefree lifestyle . Being in IT , I have not had any type of physical activities and the sedentary life style has warned me against getting tyres of fat in my belly .I also read that alligator can survive in marshy places flooding with germs but still stay fit and fine; Even if humans drink filter water, eat canned food but are afflicted with caugh and cold ? .So Yoga empathizes on our aping nature and animals in their natural habitat. I wonder why do people patent on yoga postures when they themselves have copied from animals :D . We would go broke if animals demanded royalty for serving as an inspiration to carry on postures :D. Something to cheer me up - Being a Mysorean , I have seen many forigners paying close to 25,000 INR to learn yoga whereas I pay just 200 bucks

My observation of beneficial things in yoga are:

1. I should say that I am active or hyper active ever since I started on Yoga
   
2. My appetite is restored.Constipation problem is kinda reduced.
   
3. Back ache and headaches has alleviated
4. I observe improvement in sleep patterns since the body undergoes tremendous physical activity , It is putting me to sleep naturally hence it cures depression as well because I end up sleeping more than letting my mind ramble :)
5. Walking 2 miles makes me feel healthy and contemplate about the things that I did yesterday and plan for an active today
