Yoga : To Improve Concentration Power - Fitness Master

Improve Concentration

"The concentration is the action or power to focus all attention."

Yoga practice calms your mind and keeps distracting thoughts at bay. Patanjali, the sage who compiled the aforementioned Yoga Sutras, "yoga Chitta vritti nirodha", which means that yoga reduces the fluctuations of the mind. Eliminate emotional clutter in your head and help you focus better.
