Alhaji Ismaila explained that Yoga goes far beyond mere stretches as it also consists of series of isometric contractions that combines with intentional breathing intervals to improve healthy living and well-being, which he said, “manifests by ways of improved cardio-respiratory activities, recovery from stress, increased flexibility as well as improved respiratory energy and vitality”.

He added that “the exercise among others; prevents injuries, weight reduction, improved muscular strength, enhances balanced metabolism, increases mental alertness, relaxation, and ultimately harmonizes the mind, body and soul for optimal productivity”.
