yquauturd: The Benefits of Practicing Yoga

Why practice yoga? Is it to live longer, sleep better, alleviate stress,
or simply to feel good? Whatever your reason is for wanting to practice
yoga, there are many benefits to keep you going!

The benefits of yoga have been touted for thousands of years. Scientific
studies have confirmed that a regular yoga practice can improve overall
health and wellbeing. It's also sometimes prescribed by doctors as a
therapeutic approach for chronic illness and injuries.

Not only can a regular yoga practice reward you with a healthy glow, but
it can relieve fatigue and increase your energy levels. With a regular
yoga practice, you'll wake up more refreshed and walk with a lighter step.

What are some of the other benefits of yoga? For starters, it stimulates
your glands, increases your immune system and you'll recover from illness
faster than someone who's a couch potato. If you get a cold, you may be
able to shake it off a lot sooner than someone who doesn't practice yoga
at all.

Yoga can reduce stress, and improve your focus, concentration and mood,
especially if you take the time to meditate as well. Yoga can also help
you to lose weight and shed inches, although the process is much slower
than if you take on a more rigorous exercise program, such as aerobics or
running. Adding a yoga practice to a cardiovascular workout, however, can
improve balance and coordination. Many runners who do yoga improve their
performance, especially while training for a marathon.

A regular yoga practice will help you to stand taller by improving your
posture, and certain yoga poses counter the effects of aging on the spine.
If practiced regularly and over time, some yoga poses can also build
bone, prevent osteoporosis, and increase balance. This is especially
important for women as they age.

The look and feel of your body will also change over time if you practice
yoga regularly. You'll become stronger, your muscles will take shape, and
your skin will improve. People may tell you that you look younger than
you are. And you'll feel younger, too.

Yoga is known for its healing effects and can be used to manage back pain,
breathing disorders such as asthma, and help with sinus conditions. Women
in the throes of menopause can reap the benefits in more ways than one as
some yoga poses are designed to prevent or manage hot flashes and minimize
erratic mood swings.
