As well as increasing your flexibility and strength, yoga has so many benefits that you’d be crazy not to be practising it regularly!
Here’s a simple list of the many benefits, but you really only need to try a class or two to experience them for yourself:
Creates a feeling of peace and calm – which I’m sure you’ll agree is a much nicer state to live than running round like a headless chicken!
Improves sleep quality
Makes you feel happier
Improves mood by increasing serotonin levels, and decreasing cortisol levels
Improves posture, which in turn improves digestion and breathing; relieving IBS, constipation and asthma, and also giving you that proud feeling of ‘walking tall’
Helps you to become body and mind aware – commonly known as mindfulness these days – stimulating you to generally take better care of yourself, by eating healthily for example
Eases pain by releasing tension in your body
Improve balance – we all need to be able to avoid falls, especially in older age
Helps you to stay focused on the present moment, which transfers to the rest of your daily activities. This act of mindfulness could help you to lose weight (ask me how)
Lowers blood sugar
Regulates your adrenal glands (read more here)
Lowers blood pressure (Savasana – Corpse pose)
Increases lymph drainage
Increases blood flow
Strengthens bones
Keeps Spinal disks supple
Keeps joints and cartilage mobile
So get into a comfortable outfit – it doesn’t need to be fancy or expensive – and change your life for the better with yoga!
