Research shows that yoga helps manage or control anxiety, arthritis, asthma, back pain, blood pressure, carpal tunnel syndrome, chronic fatigue, depression, diabetes, epilepsy, headaches, heart disease, multiple sclerosis, stress and other conditions and diseases

Pranayama breathing exercises help clear the nadis, or channels, that carry prana the universal life force, allowing prana to flow freely. When the channels are clear and the last block at the base of the spine has been opened, Kundalini rises through the spine, through the central channel called the sushumna-nadi, and joins the crown chakra. According to the tradition, the release of Kundalini leads to enlightenment and union.

Yoga gives us control of ourselves. It helps cut through the layers of mis-identities that arise in response to our actions, experiences and feelings. It calms the frenzy, clears the clutter and allows us to get back in touch with ourselves.

Green Hands: sadhguru jaggi vasudev's speech

Food at Isha

It's just that non-veggie food is not suited to our system. Just as carnivorous animals have sharp teeth (incisors) to cut into the meat they also have short alimentary canals, so that the meat can pass through quickly, since it putrefies quickly too. On the other hand, herbivores have no such teeth, have an enzyme which acts on the carbohydrates in the mouth (that's why raw rice begins to taste sweet when in the mouth itself) and have long alimentary canals. Moreover, fruits pass through the system in an hour-and-a-half, raw veggies may take a little longer but non-veg food stays in the system for almost two days. Also, (quite obviously) cooked food lacks the goodness, vitamins, minerals and enzymes that raw vegetables have. Now, it's up to you whether you choose to follow a strict vegetarian diet or not. What you can certainly do is add to your diet some of the scrumptious raw-vegetable recipes from the Isha Yoga Ashram. Do remember what Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev says, "It's not essential to get fanatical and avoid food groups, remember to eat alive food, chew well and eat with joy".
