What are the benefits of yoga ?
Whether you are an absolute beginner or have dabbled in yoga here and there, no time is better than the present in regards to starting a yoga practice. Here are 5 ways that yoga can positively benefit your mind and body.
1. Boosts Your Confidence
Yoga helps you focus on how your body FEELS… not just necessarily on how it looks (although yoga does help improve strength and flexibility).
Research found that women who regularly practice yoga had a 20 percent higher body satisfaction rating than those who did other forms of exercise!
2. Improves Your Mind
Yoga requires a degree of concentration, especially when it comes to breathing and getting into form. This specific concentration is referred to as Dharana.
Yoga also increases circulation to your brain and helps enhance your ability to recall information.
3. Better Digestion and Gut Health
Wait… yoga and gut health in the same sentence? YES!!! Because yoga helps reduce anxiety, pain, and stress, it also has a positive influence on providing relief for gastrointestinal issues such as IBS, ulcerative colitis, and Crohn’s disease.
Yoga also provides relief from pain and bloating.
4. Makes You Happier
According to research studies, engaging in yoga regularly (at least once a week) helps slow the release of the stress-triggered protein cytokine.
Too much cytokine leads to fatigue and bad moods!
Namaste your stress away and raise the happy brain chemical GABA during each yoga session.
Low levels of GABA are linked to depression.
5. Provides A Community
“You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with.”
-Jim Rohn
A plethora of studies has shown that people who have positive connections with others are not only happier, but also healthier and live longer too!
In yoga, this social connection is referred to a sangha – a group of like minded people.
Yoga can provide a supportive community of empowered people who can help guide you in fulfilling your goals.
