Why You Should Try Yoga

Yoga is a 5,000-year-old discipline from India. It was developed as a practice to unite the mind and body, yoga is a spiritual discipline, with the underpinning of yoga steeped in spirituality, your experience of yoga can be what you want it to be, keep an open mind and heart.

What is yoga, and why is it so popular? Yoga is a series of stretches and poses (asanas) you do with breathing techniques (pranayama) and meditation.

It offers the powerful benefits of exercise. And since yoga is gentle, almost anyone can do it, regardless of your age or fitness level.

Benefits of yoga

Yoga can make you stronger and more flexible. It's a great way to stay limber and energetic. You'll also feel more focused and alert. And yoga can help you feel great and function better in your daily life. Yoga can also help improve these conditions:

·         Poor blood circulation

·         High blood pressure

·         Arthritis

·         Osteoporosis

·         Limited mobility

·         Lower back pain

·         Difficulty breathing

·         Headaches

·         Tension or stress

Yoga's gentle movements are a big reason for why it’s so popular. Yoga is good for people who haven't been active in a while. It’s good for people who have certain health conditions like arthritis or osteoporosis. You can change the exercises to fit your needs. But yoga is also great if you're already fit and want a challenging workout. As you become more strong and flexible with yoga, it's easier to do other kinds of exercise like dancing, walking, or swimming.

Yoga can help you:

·         Reduce your risk for injury. Each yoga pose targets specific muscles. This helps you increase your flexibility and reduce your risk for injury.

·         Reduce stress. Yoga can help soothe the mind and lower stress levels. It does this by focusing the mind on the moment and the movements.

·         Increase your concentration. A main part of yoga is rhythmic, focused breathing. This can help you focus.

·         Understand the mind and body connection. Yoga requires you to focus all your energy on each movement or pose exactly. This can help you feel the mind and body work together.

·         Improve balance and stability. Balancing poses require you to use your core muscles. This can help you improve your overall stability.

·         Improve posture. Yoga poses strengthen and open tight areas of the body like the shoulders and muscles of the upper back. This can help you keep good posture. 

·         Develop body awareness. Yoga requires you to contract or relax specific muscles as you stretch into each pose. This can help you become more aware of your body’s strengths and weaknesses.
