Yoga benefits
The benefits of yoga practice at any stage of our lives are enormous and include…
Regained flexibility, mobility and strength - Yoga helps people regain or increase flexibility, strength and joint range of motion through gentle muscle stretches, movements that help lubricate joints and strength exercises addressing all major muscles in the body.
Improved breathing - Practicing yoga increases lung's capacity making respiration more efficient. This in turn has a beneficial effect on other physiological processes, including balancing of a blood pressure. In addition, the practice of a conscious, slow and regular breathing has a calming effect on the mind, reducing 'fight or flight' response to stressful events.
Weight loss - Regular yoga practice will promote maintenance of a healthy and stable weight. For more details on this aspect please read my blog on How Yoga helps in maintaining healthy weight.
