yoga postures vs breathing and meditation

Postby natalia » Wed Apr 01, 2009 9:36 pm

I do Yoga on a regular basis but my teacher only practice the stretching part. What are the benefits of the breathing and meditation practice of yoga?

I believe this is the most common occidental approach to practicing yoga. But yoga is also pranayama and meditation and you should be able to find a good teacher for learning this 2 other aspects.
according to ayurveda, yoga is a preventive way to avoid illness.
