If you are looking for a workout with mental and physical health benefits, then yoga is something for you. Yoga's primary goal is to create power and balance in both the mind and the body. Doing yoga lifts your mood instantly and makes you feel happy. It also decreases pressure and gives mental peace. Here are some of the advantages that will help you to understand how yoga will improve your overall health:
Decreases Stress
Yoga is the best way to get rid of your mental and physical stress. It helps people get rid of anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder. This is because yoga enhances consciousness and induces a sense of calm in the mind of the person. Yoga raises the levels of serotonin and lowers monoamine oxidase, which also improves depression. So, after yoga, you might feel more relaxed and happy.
Makes You Flexible
Since yoga is all about stretching your muscles, it will help you to get a range of motion to tight areas. We all know that our body gets less flexible with age, which can contribute to discomfort and immobility. So, performing 30-40 minutes of yoga on daily basis will make you feel less tired and stiff. You might feel some pain and aches at first, but it'll go with time.
Strengthens Your Muscles
Not only does yoga make your body flexible, but it also makes your muscles stronger. Some unique yoga poses are based on supporting the weight of your body on one leg or balancing yourself with your arm. These poses encourage the body to improve your muscles and also protect the body from arthritis and back pain. Yoga strengthens the arms, legs and heart in particular.
Improves Your Posture
It is obvious that if you have strong and flexible body, it means your posture will improve too. Yoga enhances the consciousness of your body, so you can quickly recognise whenever you sit or move in the wrong pose. So start trying different yoga poses so that you can improve your posture.
Enhances Your Blood Flow
Relaxation exercises help enhance the movement of blood in the hands and feet. Yoga provides the cells with more oxygen, which increases their efficiency. The amount of haemoglobin and red blood cells that bring oxygen to the tissues is also increased by practising yoga. Some of the poses that will help you to improve your blood circulation include triangle, warrior II, downward-facing dogs, legs up the wall and others.
Provide Better Quality of Life
Yoga practise will help you improve your quality of life as it preserves the functions of your brain, enhances sleep and protects your flexibility. You'll always feel joyful and healthy. It allows you to get a deep sleep that is required for the human body to heal and repair itself. Breath and action co-ordination helps the mind retain focus and allows the brain to take rest from the multi-tasking incorporated into our daily activities.
Best for Migraines
Very few people may be conscious that yoga exercises are very beneficial for people who are suffering with migraines. Individuals usually take medications to alleviate migraine pain, but yoga can lower the frequency of migraine. The vagus nerve that has been shown to be effective in relieving migraines can be stimulated by yoga. People who prefer to practise yoga are less troubled by headaches.
In Conclusion
There are numerous mental and health benefits of practicing yoga. It also helps to strengthen the immune system and reduces the level of cholesterol and triglycerides. Doing yoga often makes you feel energetic and decreases tension as well. So make sure that you must take 15-30 minutes from your daily schedule and perform some basic yoga.
