Benefits of Yoga
Circulation
Oxygen is the source of life for every cell in the body. It heals our wounds, kills germs and bacteria, and ensures the strength and vitality of all living tissues. Blood is what carries oxygen throughout the body and physical activities like yoga raise the heart rate and increase the circulation of oxygen-rich blood.What makes yoga particularly beneficial is that it also boosts blood circulation to often neglected areas of the body like joints, connective tissues, and internal organs.
Flexibility
With correct guidance you can safely strengthen and heal connective tissue injuries, ligaments & tendons in the body enabling deeper circulation where bone & muscles connect. Also start to feel more balance in these tight and unfamiliar areas resulting in more flexibility.
Detoxification
Toxins are all around us; in the air, in our food, and in the water. Our bodies are designed to naturally eliminate these poisons through the skin, the breath, the blood, and the organs of elimination. For detoxification, a regular yoga practice is extremely effective. Yoga practice is a natural, holistic approach to cleansing the body. Certain yoga poses purge toxins and transform your body and mind to improve your overall health.
Stress Relief
The stress and pressure of our daily lives can lead to serious illness and disease if left unchecked. A regular yoga practice calms the body and mind, boosts the immune system, and eliminates the toxins that stress creates. Many students see yoga as a way to bring balance back into their life to better manage daily challenges and overcome obstacles without struggle, while finding ease and shifting perspectives to create harmony.
Breath Control
The quality of our breath is directly related to our state of mind. When we are upset, the breath tends to be fast and shallow. When we are at ease, the breath is usually slow and deep. We don't have to think to breathe, but when we learn to consciously control our breath, it helps to control the body and mind as well.
Weight Loss
Many students say that after practicing yoga regularly, they feel less hungry and make better choices when eating. As part of an overall healthy lifestyle, yoga is a great way to cleanse the body, increase metabolism, stimulate waste elimination, and reduce cravings for food.
Overall Fitness
Many physical activities that are good for your health also create serious imbalances in the body. Runners are prone to knee and back problems, tennis players sometimes develop arthritis in their wrists and elbows, and weight lifter's connective tissues will become tight and rigid. Yoga promotes whole body wellness, both physically and psychologically for optimum fitness health.
