Youngsters are preferring yoga over other methods to keep fit like joining gymnasiums or attending aerobic classes.
"Yoga has caught up the fancy of the GenNext in a big way", says Dr Anju Sand, yoga expert.
"Today the majority of the students in yoga classes are youngsters, which was not there earlier. The changing lifestyle and eating habits has led to a lot of problems including stress and other health related issues. In such a situation this ancient technique is proving to be really helpful for the youngsters who go through the various asanas and Pranayam to manage these problems".
"Doing fast exercises in gym could help then to control their weight but does not help in handling stress which affects them due to the fast paced life. Since meditation is an integral part of yoga, it helps them de-stress themselves. The biggest advantage with yoga is when the youngsters cannot practice it due to examination or other constrains they do not tend to gain weight fast which normally happens if they discontinue their pushups at the gym," says the yoga expert.
"Several health related problems like irregular menstruation creep up due to their eating habits. Fast food and consumption of soft drinks which leads to such problems in girls are being managed by them through yoga exercises. A large number of girls join yoga to find solutions for this problem," she says.
