"Most religions of the world are essentially based on belief systems; Yoga is the only exception. It assumes nothing and it proceeds in a systematic and scientific manner. You need not believe in it. All you have to do is to practise this system as a life experiment. Yoga, to start with, makes the body physically fit and helps the various systems function normally. And finally, makes you reach a state of mental and spiritual bliss that cannot be disturbed by any external phenomenon.

Yoga for Stress Relief explains how Yoga can be practised to eliminate stress. By practising these simple and easy Yogic techniques, the body and mind begin to work in harmony to make life healthy, happy and stress-free."
