A short spoken segment by Dr. Calm asserting that yoga is more than twisting poses: it benefits physical health (stimulates organs, stretches fascia, heals/strengthens muscles), mental health (focus during poses disconnects from external problems and calms the mind), social well-being (claimed alignment with WHO’s broad health definition), and spiritual awareness (increases with continued practice). The speaker frames yoga as a complete system of health.

Chapters

Most people think that yoga is simply some body twisting poses, but there is a lot of wisdom in those poses. They stimulate your internal organs, they stretch out your fascia, they heal your muscles, they strengthen your body as a whole. Not just that, when you're trying to concentrate in doing all those body twisting poses, you're disconnecting your mind from external problems, from all the thinking and focusing within. Just the process of doing all those body twisting poses makes your mind feel calm. Not just that there is increased spiritual awareness as you continue to practice yoga. So if there is one system that I know that fits the definition of world health organization and that can promote physical, mental, social, spiritual well being, and that is yoga.
