What Are The Benefits Of Yoga

What Are The Benefits Of Yoga

Physical Benefits of Yoga

In addition to the many and varied mental benefits of yoga, there are also countless physical benefits to this age-old form of movement.

The most obvious physical perk to regular yoga is increased flexibility and improved balance. As we age, flexibility and balance become increasingly important to maintaining a good quality of life, which makes taking up yoga all the more appealing.

Unlocking Balance, Flexibility, and Strength: Yoga for All Levels

You don’t have to be a master yogi to reap the benefits of better balance and flexibility either, even a beginner to the sport, who is yet to master more advanced flows and manoeuvres, will notice physical improvements when they commit to doing yoga at least twice a week.

Yoga is also recognised as helping enhance strength and endurance, which makes it a great add-on to the fitness regimes of professional athletes and recreational runners and swimmers.

While yoga may look easy to the untrained eye, holding poses for an extended period of time requires both strength and endurance, and is a great way to activate and strengthen your muscles without engaging in high impact exercise that can take a toll on your joints.

Yoga's Heart-Healthy Benefits: Lowering Stress, Blood Pressure, and Cholesterol

In recent years cardiologists have cottoned-on to the connection between yoga and good heart health, noting that in addition to helping reduce stress levels, which is great for your heart, regular yoga can also result in lower blood pressure and blood cholesterol.

As we head into winter, many of us are looking for ways to boost our immune systems, and according to a number of sources and studies, yoga can do just that. By lowering the amount of cortisol (stress hormone) that your body produces and by encouraging the circulation of oxygenated blood to all of your muscles, yoga helps to support healthy immune function, which gives you a better chance at beating off unwanted viruses and germs that you may be exposed to.
