In this series we would like to give you some background information about yoga and its influence on our well-being.

Our body is made up of eight different systems. In Yoga, we influence those eight systems through the different practices and also help them work more smoothly. The eight systems are:

  1. The Skeletal System
  2. The Muscular System
  3. The Respiratory System
  4. The Reproductive System
  5. The Endocrine System
  6. The Digestive System
  7. The Circulatory System
  8. The Immune System

Originally, yoga was a purely spiritual path whose main goal was the search for enlightenment through meditation. The many asanas only developed over time. Their primary goal is to strengthen and mobilize the body. Over time, more and more recognized the positive effect of physical exercises on the overall well-being of the person. On December 1, 2016, yoga was recognized as a UNESCO Intangible World Heritage Site.
