Yoga is not aerobic exercise, but it involves using movement, breathing and meditation to help a person find a unity of mind, body and spirit. Yoga can improve overall physical fitness.

Meditation takes a person into a state of calm. It offers emotional and mental balance in order to help someone achieve a clearer more tranquil frame of mind. This effect of meditation is said to stimulate the immune system, reduce stress and with practice may even help to reduce pain.
