Yoga is an ancient set of physical, mental, and spiritual practices that originated in Northern India more than 2,300 years ago. I was lucky enough to have learned the asanas as a child, which are poses that formulate the art. I didn’t know the many other benefits of it until recently, and when the Covid-19 lockdown begins, I started watching Yoga by Adrinne to brush up on my knowledge. This year, I was invited to join an online class called Satya Yoga & Wellness, which immensely helped my practice and helped me feel many noteworthy benefits.

The Key Benefits Of Practicing Yoga

1. Improves flexibility – The movements include stretches and poses that improve your body’s flexibility. I was quite amazed at what my body could do while doing yoga. I enjoy the SATYA Yoga classes as they warm up your muscles and teach you stretches to help your wrists.
2. Helps build strength – It is a strength based practice. It uses your body weight to make you stronger and increase muscle tone. It’s not like weight training regimes that isolate movements, this is a whole-body workout. Furthermore, it builds strength you can use in your everyday activities.
3. Better posture – As you build strength and flexibility, your posture does improve. This is because you are building your core muscles, which help you to stand tall.

   

4. Improves joint health– Vinyasa and ashtanga yoga are considered the most athletic types, and are the basis for “power yoga” classes. Both types of classes are good for building and maintaining muscle that will help support arthritis joints.

   

5.  Reduces stress – It is a relaxation practice, this is the opposite of stress. This is one of the major benefits for me, as it uses breathing techniques and meditation. It really helps me manage my stress and even though we are living the most difficult times of our life. This is what makes it such an important mental health activity.
6. Helps you sleep better – As yoga is a mindfulness practice that incorporates breathing, stretching and meditation, together they set you up for a better night’s rest. It’s naturally calming and relaxing properties are the best nighttime routine I have had. My sleep has improved immensely when it comes to the quality.
7. Improves heart health – When you practice yoga, you improve your blood circulation and flow. It also helps lower blood pressure, cholesterol and your heart rate.
8. Increased energy and better mood – By improving circulation to the endocrine glands, a consistent yoga practice enhances the functions of hormones that play a primary role in the physiology of depression. This results in a reduction in depression and improved overall mood. You also feel a boost in your alertness, increased mental and physical energy and enthusiasm.
