Yoga is a 5,000-year-old discipline from India. It was developed as a practice to unite the mind and body. There are many branches of yoga. All yoga styles can help balance your body, mind, and spirit, but they achieve it in various ways.
Yoga is a series of stretches and poses that you do with breathing techniques. It offers the powerful benefits of exercise. And since yoga is gentle, almost anyone can do it, regardless of your age or fitness level.
Some yoga styles are intense and vigorous. Others are relaxing and meditative. No matter which type you choose, yoga is a great way to stretch and strengthen your body, focus your mind, and relax your spirit.
Here are 8 reasons why you should have a regular yoga practice.
1.Improves posture
Yoga is a balancing practice. It lightens tight areas and strengthens weak areas. This strengthening and stretching asanas tighten your muscles and help in correcting your posture naturally.
2.It will make you stronger
Yoga is a full-body workout, targeting all the muscles of the body with both static holds and dynamic movement. You are supporting your own body weight, building functional strength in areas where you really need it. This is strength with purpose.
3.It reminds you to breathe!
Our breath and emotions are connected in a feedback loop. Yoga brings awareness and control to our breath patterns, allowing us to notice when our emotions are affecting our breath, and using the breath to calm our emotions. Sometimes a deep breath is what separates you from saying something you will regret! The more you can connect with your breath, the clearer you think, even in difficult situations.
4.Yoga improves your health
Regular breathing helps blood circulation, allowing oxygenated blood to move more efficiently, which in turn boost your immune system.
5.Yoga is one of the best stress relievers
Deeper breathing and mind-body practice help reduce stress, anxiety, and inflammation. By encouraging relaxation, yoga keeps your body balanced and helps lower the levels of stress hormones.
6.You will sleep better
When we are less stressed, we sleep better, and when we sleep better, we are less stressed. Physical activity and mental relaxation fuel this virtuous cycle.
7.Teaches us to listen both our body and soul
We often complain that we do not have time for ourselves. Yoga gives us the opportunity to find such a time and spend it with profit. Everyone needs time for solitude and contemplation. With yoga, you have a chance to listen to and hear even the deepest thoughts rising in your head.
8.Boost Sexual Performance
Finally, the reason you have been waiting for: all that time spent practicing breathing, and relaxation techniques carries over into the bedroom. Yogis are in touch with their bodies, able to focus the mind and hold the ability to control and channel sexual energy. Yoga will help you be more receptive and sensitive to your partner. They will be thankful for it and so will you!
