BENEFITS OF YOGA
Fitness and Vitality
Yoga
postures not only tone, stretch and strengthen the body, but also invigorate
the vital organs. They overhaul the body inside and out, increase mobility
and the range of motion of joints and muscles. Athletes and sportsmen
can be better athletes and sportsmen through the steady practice of Yoga.
Stress Management
Commonly
people live with high stress and no stress management. Yoga releases pent up
stress and nervous energy. In our daily life we operate in a fight or
flight mode. Yoga helps us to move away from this, and allows the mind
and body to find a calm equilibrium.
Weight Management
Being
over or under weight is a malfunction of emotions. There is a breakdown
in the smooth flow between body and mind at the cellular level. When this
imbalance is corrected, weight automatically goes back to its normal state.
Yoga postures and breathing techniques can help achieve this.
Correct Breathing
The
Key to Yoga lies in its breathing practices. This is what sets Yoga apart
from any other fitness programs. Correct breathing brings out the rhythm
in a dancer, endurance in an athlete, smoothness in a singer, and steadfastness
in a Yogi.
Yoga Massage
Premature
babies nurtured through massage gained 45% more weight on a daily basis
then untouched babies. This proves that massage is more than mere decadent
indulgencies or luxuries. Massage is known to be of great value after accidents,
trauma, shock, abuse, stress, etc. Doctors recommend massages in cases
of arthritis, heart diseases, and cancer.
