Yoga is not just stretching! Stretching is just one of many components.
Yoga is presumed to be a mix of stretching and breathing exercises however Yoga consists of many more we could imagine. I would brief what Yoga means. Mainly there are three branches of Yoga:
1. Asanas: Asanas consists of stretching and other kriyas (exercises) which make body flexible and strong. The significance of Asanas is that it simply increase our stamina and make us strong to sit for long hours while doing meditation. The more the stamina is the more one can sit for meditation for long hours.
2. Pranayam: Pranayam consists of breath controlling kriyas helps in concentrate, increase the Oxygen in our blood, strength breathing system and clean our lungs.
3. Shatkarmas: Shatkarmas consists of inner body cleaning kriyas clean our stomach, nose, intestines and eyes.
So earlier the main motive of Yoga was to do Asnas to protect the body from diseases, make it strong and flexible so that one could do meditation for as long as he want. If we start doing meditation without doing Asanas and Shatkarmas then we wouldn't be able to do it for very long. In only 5 minutes our body will feel pain while sitting in a single posture.
Meditation is the next stage in Yoga and followed by Smadhi (Trance) a is state of inner consciousness and external unconsciousness. Smadhi means a half-conscious state characterized by an absence of response to external stimuli, typically as entered by a medium.

Yoga Vs Gym. Which one is more effective?
Undoubtedly Gym is beneficial than not doing any exercise at all but if you want to decide which one should be opted, Yoga or Gym then below comparison will help you to decide which is more important and useful.
1. Yoga makes us strong mentally, emotionally and physically.
Yoga will help tone your body but while it’s doing that, it also helps you to be truly in the moment and infuses your spirit with positive energy. Yoga help in controlling the senses, enhance mental power and concentration. A gym workout is focused primarily on improving your body’s physical condition.
2. Yoga benefits our full body—externally and internally.
The Asanas, Prynayams and Shatkarmas strengthen the immune system, digestive system, breathing system and increase Oxygen in our blood circulation. It increase our stamina and make our muscle powerful. A gym workout is focused just on strengthening muscles and boosting.
3. A science to understand our self.
Meditaion is the key component of Yoga. We get closer not nature and it helps in knowing whare really we are and why we are here. It transforms our mind form distracted to concentrated and our heart from conservative to innovative.
4. Yoga makes our body Flexible.
Yoga Asanas increase flexibility in our body on the other hand strenuous exercises make our muscles stiff and hard and cause a lots of physical problems when we grow old.
5. Yoga will make you lean.
By stretching your muscles you will strengthen them, your body will take on a leaner appearance. A gym workout filled with weights will cause your muscles to bulk up.
6. Yoga is more effective.
Yoga relies on your own—your entire body—for strengthening. Gym classes use weights and other equipment. Through different asanas, your full body becomes toned and stronger by using your own entire body weight as ‘weights’. By using only weights or other equipment, muscles are isolated and have to be worked individually in order to benefit, which takes a whole lot more time.
7. Yoga is inexpensive.
You can easily practice yoga at home, outside or in small spaces. All you need is about 6 feet place to do Yoga. A gym workout requires more equipment and more space.
8. Yoga is kinder to the body.
This does not mean yoga is not intense. Just ask anyone who practices Ashtanga. Yoga builds heat and works your muscles, but you’re doing what your body allows you to do and not attempting to lift weights and pound on the joints—both of which can cause injury. Yoga also stretches as you move through the postures and a good yoga practice builds on itself to prepare the body for the next position.
9. Yoga helps in reducing aches and pains.
A gym workout increases them. Yoga slowly stretches muscles and opens the energy channels of the body. The increased flexibility keeps muscles and joints lubricated and healthy. Weights and treadmill can cause strain which leads to soreness and injuries.
10. Yoga increases our thinking power.
During times of stress, it’s easy to forget to breathe—really breathe, and not just shallow breaths. Without deep breaths, it’s harder to think clearly and fatigue can set in. Yoga focuses on the breath so that when you need it most, those deep breaths are the norm.
11. Yoga will make us peaceful.
We move through practice with a calm, relaxed expression. No grunting, no dropping weights, no clenched teeth or grimacing expressions like you see from gym-goers. The overall intention is to release tension throughout the body and mind.
12. Yoga reduces stress.
Many yoga classes include meditation, or at least Savasana. It gives you a chance to clear the mind of the stresses of the day. With practice, stressful situations can be dealt with more easily and overall stress levels decrease. The competitive nature of a gym along with the loud music and bright lights is more likely to increase your stress.
13. Anyone can practice yoga.
No matter your age or your health, you can practice yoga. Yoga has even been found to help people who have health ailments ranging from Parkinson’s to cancer. Moreover yoga have specific Asanas for Children, Young, Oldage, Patients and Pregnant Women. Gym workouts, in general, are not designed to be therapeutic, or senior-friendly.

Nauli Kriya
Nauli is one of the Kriyas in Shatkarma (cleaning exercises) from Yoga. The exercise is claimed to serve the cleaning of the abdominal region - digestive organs, small intestine and is based on a massage of the internal belly organs by a circular movement of the abdominal muscles.
Nauli is an exercise of the classical Hatha Yoga but is not taught often in yoga schools. Nauli is considered as a difficult exercise, which can be learned only with perseverance and patience. There are four different variations, which are gradually learned one after another:
- madhyana nauli: the isolated contraction of the central muscles of the abdominis
- vama nauli: the isolated contraction of the left part of the central muscles of the abdomen
- daksina nauli: the isolated contraction of the right part of the central muscles of the abdomen
- nauli kriya: the circular movement of the central muscles of the abdomen
In yoga, Nauli generally recommended for the recovery of constipation. The exercise may clean the small intestine and eliminate digesting problems.
Nauli is generally done standing but it is possible to do it in other position like lotus, whereby the trunk is bent forward and is supported by the hands at the thighs. After a complete breath out the entire belly is strongly brought in and then the middle belly muscle is contracted and moved in a circle.
Note : It should be done under the supervision of a trained Yoga teacher.
Vaman (वमन) or Kunjal Kriya
Vamana is therapeutic vomiting, which is a medicated emesis therapy. People with high imbalance of kapha are given this type of treatment, which loosens and mobilizes the toxins, in an effort to eliminate them from the body. Waste products (vitiated dosha) are eliminated through the upper gastrointestinal tract.
Method: 3-5 glasses of water should be drunk while sitting down. The water should be normal in summer and lukewarm water should be drunk in winter. Then should stand straight and bent forward at 90 degree angel. Put two fingers down your throat and massage the back of your tongue as far down as possible. By pressing it you will feel the urge to vomit, which is called the pharyngeal reflex or gag reflex in medical terminology. Water will come out of your mouth in a quick series of gushes. Continue pressing until your stomach is empty.
This practice should be done first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. It is also done after shankhaprakshalana. Follow kunjal with neti. After completion of the practice it is best to wait twenty minutes or half an hour before eating. The stomach lining should have a chance to reform before the process of digestion starts pouring acids onto its sensitive surface.
At the physical level kunjal
can aid the maintenance of good health as well as help in the cure of the
following diseases: acidity and gas in the stomach, biliousness, nausea, food
poisoning and auto-poisoning, indigestion, inflamed oesophageal mucosa, coughs,
asthma, bronchitis and respiratory ailments, headaches, (both tension and
migraine) and diseases of the nervous system.
At the pranic level, kunjal gives the whole body a flushing,
untying knots and unblocking nadis (psychic nerves which conduct prana) so that
the whole body feels revived and alive.
On the mental level, kunjal can help with many types of mental
diseases and problems, acting as a kind of shock therapy to recharge the brain
and mind. It especially helps with depression, lethargy, apathy, tensions,
anxiety, neuroses and phobias.
Note: Those who suffer from any chronic disabling disease, an active stomach ulcer, hernia of the stomach or abdomen, high blood pressure, heart disease or oesophageal varices, should only practice kunjal under the guidance of a qualified yoga teacher or ashram.
