The human frame aligns itself to support and distribute our weight with the greatest economy of effort- the arch of the foot, the precise curves of the spine, the design of every joint, the tilt of the pelvis- and is designed to combine freedom of movement with strength and protection of vital organs. The joints are held firmly by strong, elastic ligaments, and the whole structure is supported, moved and returned to alignment by the muscles.
Yoga asanas give muscles and ligaments a slow, non-violent stretch, without the following sharp contractions of most sports. Stretching a muscles helps it contract more strongly, while slow movements and deep breathing increase the oxygen supply to the muscles, preventing the accumulation of lactic acid in the fibers. The stretching and contracting muscles stimulate circulation to the tissues and organs and cause an increased venous return.
For all common health problems, prevention is better than a cure- regular practice of the full asana sequence, which is designed to stimulate the the circulation, and to work systematically on every part of the body so that the muscles dare healthy and in balance, will keep you young and agile through life."
Muscles
Your skeletal muscles are ranged symmetrically, left to right and front to back, in layers with different actions.
Yoga asanas symmetrically work each opposing set of muscles in turn, keeping them youthful, elastic and in balance with each other.

Anyway
People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered.
Love them anyway!
If you do good, people will accuse you
of selfish, ulterior motives.
Do good anyway!
If you are successful, you will win false friends and enemies.
Succeed anyway!
The good you do will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway!
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway!
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway!
People really need help but may attack you if you help them. Help them anyway!
Give the world the best you have
and you’ll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you’ve got anyway!
