Yoga helps you feel good.
Choose a level-appropriate class and go with an open mind; you’ll feel different, more open, present, and happier. Trying is believing!
Yoga boosts flexibility.
If you haven’t heard that yoga increases flexibility, you’ve been living under a rock. Yoga can help you increase flexibility by building muscle memory; be patient.
Yoga strengthens
Yoga demands strength as well as flexibility. Strength prevents damage, boosts the immune system and metabolism, and makes daily duties easier.
Yoga improves immunity
Movement boosts the immune system. Yoga’s twisting, inverting, back bending, and soothing help the body spend more time in the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest) (the fight or flight system, which causes stress and inflammation and dramatically lowers the immune system).
Yoga improves concentration
It’s easier to direct energy when your mind is quiet and uncluttered. Yoga promotes one-pointedness via practise. You teach your mind to be present. After a yoga class, you can better focus your mental resources, process information accurately, and learn, hold, and update information.
Yoga boosts energy.
If your morning routine involves dragging yourself out of bed and gulping coffee, try 10 rounds of Surya Namaskar or Kapalabhati pranayama. Later in the day, a few minutes of asana practise can re-balance the nerve system, quiet the mind, and give you a new perspective.
Yoga increases metabolism.
A morning yoga practise will get your blood, lungs, and muscles moving before breakfast, improving nutritional absorption. Strong practise can build muscle and promote metabolism, while deep breathing increases circulation and metabolism.
Yoga relaxes
Anxiety produces shallow breathing, bad posture, and stiff muscles. If you’ve been locked in an anxiety cycle for a long time, your body may have learnt to protect itself by remaining stiff and taking short, quick breaths. Deepening the breath, strengthening posture, and relaxing muscles in a safe setting helps lessen anxiety.
