The word yoga means union ,the union of what?
Mind and body in simple terms.
Coming to yoga ,yoga is a mind thing ,then comes breating ,then comes body[postures]
but there is a misconception that yoga is posture alone ,so lets be clear ,it is easier to start with postures because we are used to do things with our body than our mind.
So when i say mind thing ,yoga puts down certain things to be followed before starting ,they are simple things like being happy ,not to tell lie ,not to steal ,bramacharya ,praying god ,doing meditation ,etc.....
these are simple things but in today's hectic world these are difficult to follow.In the list of things we should follow at least what we can follow ,then comes breathing when we control our breath[prana]we can control our mind ,once mind is under control ,body falls into place.
Having read all this you would be confused state ,should I do postures or should I wait till i acquire those mental qualities
Surely doing postures will improve your overall health and in particular tiredness due to diabetes and reduce blood sugar having said all this if you can combine the breathing and few simple things for mind like being truthful the effect of yoga will increase four fold .
One word of caution before you begin ,start doing simple steps ,don't overstretch yourselves ,it will take at least one month of regular yoga to fetch you results ,mind you this is not magic ,and if you have doubt always consult an expert ,take care of your breathing while you do because that play a a major role in giving benefits ,keep in mind that always exhale while you go towards gravity and inhale while you work against gravity .
I HAVE COMPILED A LIST OF ASANAS that can have a therapeatic effect on diabetes ,they are given below with figures ,keep in mind that it always better to learn from a guru..
