Why Yoga ?
The body can be viewed as an energy system with close interplay between breathing, heart beat and brain function. Yoga provides a useful maintenance service for this system in a holistic way.
Practicing Yoga regularly as part of a balanced lifestyle can enable you to experience many physical benefits: especially , improved muscle and joint flexibility , an increased endurance, and a better posture . Yoga helps build awareness of your body's posture, alignment and patterns of movement while also providing much needed relaxation techniques.
Yoga can have physiological and psychological benefits. It has been shown to improve the lives of asthma sufferers by preventing attacks without the use of medicines.
It can help respiratory problems by teaching people how to control their breathing. It can lower blood pressure, improve lung efficiency and lower heart rates. Other conditions, which can be improved through the use of yoga, include chronic fatigue, varicose veins, diabetes and digestive disorders.
On a deeper physiological level, the practice of Yoga improves digestion and elimination. When you start to stretch and twist and bend and do all these things that put pressure on the internal organs, digestion and the elimination processes improve.
The aging process can also be slowed through the use of yoga. Aging is the result of autointoxication. Keeping the body clean, flexible and well lubricated reduces this cell deterioration. Weight reduction is another area where yoga can help. Yoga stimulates sluggish glands. Positions focusing on the thyroid gland can have a positive effect on body metabolism.
There are also many psychological benefits produced by yoga also. It has been known to help with obsessive-compulsive disorders. It reduces stress, anxiety, depression and tension. It increases a feeling of well-being.
Most people will experience a positive outlook on life and feel invigorated. They will have higher energy levels and will have a better knowledge of themselves and be more self-aware. Improved memory, attention and concentration, as well as, social skills and self-acceptance are also benefits of this exercise.
Biochemical benefits are lower sugar levels, lower cholesterol levels, lower sodium levels, hemoglobin increases and vitamin C level increases.
The biggest benefit of all is learning how to deeply relax. A great deal of our major illnesses like heart disease are due to stress. The more skillful you get at learning to calm yourself down the more tools you have for managing stress in every day situations. Yoga breathing lowers blood pressure and brings intense relaxation.
