Can yoga prolong life?



"A yogi does not count his life in terms of years,
He counts it in terms of breath."
 
-B.K.S. Iyengar
 
 
Mr. Iyengar writes that of all certainties and uncertainties, what is certain is death.
But, when each breath is long, deep and subtle..so that the energy is stored abundantly, we still have a chance to build our destiny for the future.
That does not mean we will not die, but "if we lead and practice yogic discipline throughout our life, we are sure to prolong our life, as worries and anxieties do not corrode us."
 
Namaste.
