Top 10 Reasons to "Make the Connection" with Yoga
Yoga postures balance the body and increase strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular levels; while breathing awareness techniques can release tension and help us maintain focus; both in our yoga practice and in our day-to-day lives.
According to a recent Harvard Medical School survey, 90% of Americans who have practiced yoga have found it helpful for a number of health conditions, including back or neck pain, anxiety, arthritis, depression and fatigue. Yoga makes you more stress hardy, relaxes and rejuvenates you, improves your strength and provides a general sense of well-being. Other benefits of yoga practice include: preventing pain and injury; slowing the aging process; increasing self-confidence and improving concentration; developing correct body posture; and increasing flexibility in joints and spinal column.
The Yoga Alliance recently published these Top 10 Reasons to "Make the Connection" with yoga:
1. STRESS RELIEF: Yoga reduces the physical effects of stress on the body. By encouraging relaxation, yoga helps to lower the levels of the stress hormone cortisol. Related benefits include lowering blood pressure and heart rate, improving digestion and boosting the immune system as well as easing symptoms of conditions such as anxiety, depression, fatigue, asthma and insomnia.
2. PAIN RELIEF: Yoga can ease pain. Studies have demonstrated that practicing yoga postures, meditation or a combination of the two, reduced pain for people with conditions such as cancer, hypertension, arthritis, back and neck pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and many other chronic conditions. Some practitioners report that even emotional pain can be eased through the practice of yoga.
3. BETTER BREATHING: Yoga teaches people to take slower, deeper breaths. This helps to improve lung function, trigger the body's relaxation response and increase the amount of oxygen available to the body.
4. FLEXIBILITY: Yoga helps to improve flexibility and mobility, increasing range of movement and reducing aches and pains.
5. INCREASED STRENGTH: Yoga postures use every muscle in the body, helping to increase strength literally from head to toe.
6. WEIGHT MANAGEMENT: Yoga can aid weight control efforts by reducing the cortisol levels as well as by burning excess calories and reducing stress. Yoga also encourages healthy eating habits and provides a heightened sense of well-being and self-esteem.
7. IMPROVED CIRCULATION: Yoga helps to improve circulation and, as a result of various poses, more efficiently moves oxygenated blood to the body's cells.
8. CARDIOVASCULAR CONDITIONING: Even gentle yoga practice can provide cardiovascular benefits by lowering resting heart rate, increasing endurance and improving oxygen uptake during exercise.
9. BETTER BODY ALIGNMENT: Yoga helps to improve body alignment, resulting in better posture and helping to relieve back, neck, joint and muscle problems.
10. FOCUS ON THE PRESENT: Yoga helps us to focus on the present, to become more aware and to help create mind-body health. It opens the way to improved coordination, reaction time and memory.

| My personal understanding of Breatharianism is that is it is more of a path to spiritual enlightenment. It isn't really about not eating anything. It has more to do with limited intake of food while depending on a spirit/god/force to provide you with the will to follow this path. Historically, people have fasted to gain spiritual wisdom. There are stories of yogis who survive living only on prana - the life force that surrounds us - usually felt through the breath.
For me, being a Breatharian is a spiritual path and journey. You start slow - as a vegetarian, then move on to vegan diet, raw vegan, fruitarian, then only liquids until you only need a pure water, air & sun.
Some spiritual practice is needed as well. I do yoga and I use yoga to control mind. But you can also do prayer - ask a God to guide you on your journey toward Breatharianism...
Your mind is supposed to be your friend but in many cases, it's No.1 Enemy. People eat, eat, eat, drink, drink, drink, obsess, lie, cheat and then go and EAT some more... Why? No freaking' self-realization! I wan t live a decent, simple, clean, healthy, happy and peaceful life and the why I got on this path 
How about you?

| The stomach is an abnormal inflation designed to store excess food untill your digestive tract can deal with it. When you fast or stop eating it shrinks back to its original tubular state, allowing your solar plexus(directly behind your stomach) to start beating again.
My own stomach is now quite minimal as I eat very little, only for social reasons and then it's fresh fruit only, like a piece of banana, half a apple and such. My stomach could not even accommodate some "regular' serving of foods, and eating a meat would really wreck havoc on my system now...
See a video of a real Breatharian I just posted to my youtube channel:
