Usually when we do any physical work, our heart beat increases, but when we do yoga we can’t feel the heart beat increasing. Can you explain this?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Your metabolism goes up when you do physical exercise. That is necessary. But, when you rest, your heart beat decreases; you need that rest. You should balance work and rest, then life expectancy is much higher.
