YOGAS BENEFITS
I recently reviewed how yoga has improved my health and life. I started thinking about the benefits I have gained throughout my yoga practice and would like to share them with you. The following are some of the more important benefits that I noticed within the first few months of a twice a week practice. *Flexibility is the most obvious. I didnt realize how tight I had become through the shoulder, hips and lower back areas. With gently stretching I noticed less shoulder and back pain. *Better muscle strength and endurance. By holding some of the poses longer and isolating muscle contractions I was able to improve overall muscle, joint and bone strength. *My posture and balance improved almost immediately. I hadnt realized how much I was slouching until I started paying attention to my posture. Yoga helped me strengthen my core and straighten out my spine. I now measure 2-1/4 taller!!! My doctor was amazed at this and also with my lower blood pressure and pulse, sometimes too low. My cholesterol levels were improved as well. *Deeper breathing capacity. We are born as belly breathers, but as we age, stress infiltrates our lives and we have a tendency to become shallow chest breathers. Yoga helped me return to using my full breath capacity. *Peace of mind and being able to handle stress and emotions much better. Some people turn to alcohol, drugs or food to deal with stress and negative emotions. Yoga helps me bring my issues to the surface and deal with them rather than covering them up. If you are a regular practitioner, you have probably noticed that you have more energy and sounder sleep. Let me know what else you have noticed. If you have been thinking of trying yoga, I hope this article helps lead you to a healthier lifestyle. Namaste
