    Boxing helps me remove stress. I get to hit things. It is very relaxing.

    The modern yoga is great and all but many people have a very wrong impression of what yoga really is. Yoga isn't about working out. It is not even about meditating. Yoga, from the very start till now, is about making money. It is sort of art if you wanna put it. An entertainment.

    Hindu yogis who would go on for long journeys used to live on the road and used to eat near to nothing. They had very very low body weight and looong sessions of meditation. When they were not praying, they were travelling. Traveling has expenses, even for people who lived minimally and don't eat much. So their egos asked them to not beg but work for it and thats when they used to do "tricks" with their bodies. Like laying flat on a needle bed etc.

    I know this has little to do with the OP but I wanted to take this opportunity to educate a little about what exactly yoga is, about money and entertainment. Not meditating (hence reducing stress) or workout
