Benefits of Yoga
The practice of Yoga
is an extraordinary means
to achieve physical
and mental well being.
The word “yoga” means joining or connecting.
It’s an ancient holistic tradition that unites body, mind, and spirit -
bringing these into harmony and balance.
Hatha yoga is a mindful practice which focuses on physical strengthening, flexibility and detoxification of the body. Hatha yoga also focuses the mind and allows you to be more in charge of your thought process. Present moment awareness and compassion are practiced throughout class. Breathing and meditation practices are introduced.
Some of the many benefits of practicing Hatha yoga are:
- reduction of stress and anxiety
- lower back pain relief
- improved flexibility
- increased stamina and energy
- toned and strengthened muscles
- better posture
- improved circulation
- better digestion
- weight loss
- a stronger immune system
In addition, research has shown that yoga helps manage or improve a wide range of conditions including:
arthritis· asthma· high blood pressure· carpal tunnel syndrome· chronic fatigue· depression,
diabetes· headaches· heart disease.
Yoga is also the perfect partner to your existing exercise program or favorite sports activities.
Whether you love playing golf or tennis, jogging, weight lifting, biking, or skiing,
yoga will enhance your performance! And, it doesn’t require expensive equipment.
Yoga is appropriate for all ages and can be modified according to your age, physique, and health profile.
