The connection between the body and the mind is a very real one, with the way your body feels playing a big part in how your brain functions and whether or not you experience a state of well-being.
Keeping your body free of toxins, free radicals, and other nasty things that can end up in our insides is essential to maintaining a healthy life.
Detoxing the body also through yoga brings additional benefits which cannot be achieved through diet only or by any other means of detoxing.
Also, detoxification through yoga improves the function of internal organs and removes impurities from them.
