Essay & Composition Writing
I have to give a speech on Yoga this Tuesday (on the occasion of world Yoga day). Can someone kindly check this piece of writing (I don't want to bore the audience with a lot of statistics for that task is already done by someone else, yet I need...
YOGA
'Yoga'..., we are all bound to hear that word one time or the other today. I mean after all, today is Yoga day, as declared by the UN. And I'm pretty sure that no matter when we hear that accursed word, we are going to put up some frowns and do some vaguely dissimilar poses, mostly just for the sake of doing it. But wait, here's the difference: today, I, ---- ,and my friend ----, are here to change that misconception, or more precisely, we hope of doing so.
Someone had once said that, “Exercises are like prose, whereas yoga is the poetry of movements.” Quite true indeed. Yoga has that rhythm, and sense of purpose that other exercises just fail to instil in you. But, Yoga goes beyond just the physical realm, it delves deep in the realm of the spiritual. On the whole, Yoga is not just about testing one's flexibility or endurance, it is also about attaining a peaceful state of mind. This inner-most peace can rarely be attained by a method easier than that of Yoga. After all, monks and seers spend years in recluse, for the sole purpose of attaining this peace. And peace roots from harmony of all kinds. Thus, Yoga is nothing but the practice of sprouting balance within oneself.
And so, Yoga finds itself more important than ever today. For today, our lifestyle has been corrupted by stress, improper schedules and what not. Today, more than ever, we need to find a way to get rid of all the ills of modern lifestyle. And that way, refers to none other than the practice of Yoga. Yoga, as we all might now have understood, is not all about contorting you body into vaguely dissimilar poses, rather it refers to enlightening oneself in all aspects - physical as well as mental.
The benefits of Yoga just don't stop there, Yoga has also been known to cure some otherwise chronic ailments. It is a form of rejuvenation and healing that was conceived of by our ancestors. So ostensibly, it packs in some sort of science that still remains unknown to us. Some say that the postures in Yoga stimulate certain electric impulses and fields by touching some sensitive points that re-polarise the constituents of our body. This polarisation could possibly be referring to the feeling of completeness that is derived from performing Yoga correctly.
Finally, as goes with everything else, we should not practice excessively nor push ourselves way too much while doing Yoga. Limited but regular practice is definitely recommended for Yoga. Rest assured, you are going to astonish yourself at all the improvements that Yoga brings in you.
Hope you have a nice day a-head!

, we are all bound to have hea rd that word at some stage. one time or the other today. I mean after all, today is Yoga day, as declared by the U N, so the term "yoga" must be pretty well known to a lot of, if not most, people, even if some may think of it as some new-age airy-fairy thing.

Respected Sir,
"so the term "yoga" must be pretty well known to a lot of, if not most, people, even if some may think of it as some new-age airy-fairy thing." Can I just say that : so the term "yoga" must be pretty well known to quite a lot of us, although we might think of it as some new-age airy-fairy thing. Moreover, will it be better if I use the term 'newfangled' here, inst
