How yogasana is better than other exercises

Many of us always seem to wonder why yogasanas are said to be much preferable than other form of exercises. These other forms include anything from gymnastics, wrestling, working out in a gym, other forms etc. What is so special and beneficial about performing yogasanas than these mentioned exercises. Mentioned below are few answers which may help solve the query:

1. Other exercises such as gymnastics or working out may help your muscles to grow only from outside, which may allow your body to appear strong and healthy from outside. But the internal organs don't seem to gain much from these mentioned exercises. But when one practices yogasanas, the body does not just strengthen from outside but the internal parts too get activated and one gains both inner as well as external strength.

2. Other exercises may do nothing much to enhance your mind and your sense organs, but Yogasanas definitely improve your mental strength and vigour.

3. With regular practice of yogasanas one can improve his or her resistance or immunity towards diseases which may not be possible with other exercises.

4. When one practices exercises or sports he/she may require large space or many such people to carry on with the so called exercises, but yogasanas on the other hand need very little space and can be performed alone.

5. Body flexibility or elasticity is known to increase by regular practice of yogasanas. Additionally the body is known to get more active with regular practice of yoga. But with other exercises there is possibility to experience a general stiffness in muscles. Also one may experience sprains or muscle-pulls.

6. Yogasanas are known to keep your body clean and remove impurities. The blood circulation is also known to enhance with regular practice of yogasanas.

7. With the lives that we live within this fast paced world, the food that we eat and the less rest that we take, only yogasanas can help us to function proper.

8. Other exercises are known to tire or exhaust us. But practicing yogasanas make us active. This is because the other exercises such as working out make us spend a lot of energy and thus exhaust us completely. But yogasanas on the other hand relax our muscles and thus are more of a non-violent exercises.

9. Yogasanas other than helping us gain inner and outer strength also help us to become calm and composed. Other exercises fail to do so.

10. Yogasanas are known to get our body rid of many ailments and other body disorders if practiced regularly unlike other exercises.
