No matter whether or not we practice Yoga, we can not argue the fact that yoga is one of the most effective ways to change one’s lifestyle. Some people claim Yoga has changed their whole life and some people claim that yoga has freed them of many long lived health conditions. So, if you want to start practicing yoga and are looking for push in the right direction, this is for you.
Here are a few of the many world-acclaimed benefits of yoga:
Improved Flexibility
This is a benefit you will start noticing in short term. IN your first yoga session you may not be able to touch your toes with your fingers, give it some time and you will notice that you are now able to touch your toes with your finger and the same goes for backbend.
Stronger Muscles
Imagine strength and flexibility combined. If we go to the gym and lift some weights, we sure can gain strength, but flexibility is mostly compromised, but if we take the shelter f yoga, we ca get both.
Posture Perfect
Regular yoga changes your posture dramatically (In a good way, obviously!) in the long run.
Lowers the Blood Pressure
Yoga is very helpful for people suffering from high blood pressure.
Increases the Heart Rate
Aerobic yoga can increase up your heart rate which as a result can improve the oxygen intake and help lose weight.
Helps Concentrate Better
One of the most important advantages of yoga is better focus, memory and in some cases improved IQ.
Relaxation
Yoga is a calming practice which as a result relaxes your body and mind.
Helpful in Insomnia
If you are suffering from insomnia, yoga can help you get rid of it, and if you are not suffering from insomnia you will anyway lie the deep sleep you will get.
