Yoga is becoming increasingly popular and it easy to see why. Physical benefits of yoga include
- Increased flexibility.
- Increased muscle strength and tone.
- Improved respiration, energy and vitality.
- Help maintaining abalanced metabolism.
- Weight reduction.
- Improved cardiovascular and circulatory health.
- Improved athletic performance.
- Protection from injury.
Not only does the practice of yoga have many physical health benefits such as increased flexibility and weight loss but it also great for mental well being. Research has shown that regular yoga practice helps reduce stress through the activation of the parasympathetic nervous system which is the body’s rest system allowing the body to release tension and muscles to relax. This release allows us to de-stress and gives the mind and body a chance to relax. Over time and through regular practice you will find that your ability to handle and deal with stressful events will increase.
