    This Is Why Everyone, Including You, Should Be Doing Yoga

    Yoga is the ancient exercise regime that helps people with everything from stress relief to weight loss.

    In an unhealthy world plagued by cardiovascular disease and diabetes, it’s important to stay healthy and prevent these conditions from developing in the first place.

    It’s no hidden secret that the benefits of yoga practice are significant. They touch so many parts of a yoga practitioner’s life. (This yoga instructor swears by her craft. Who can blame her? She’s 98 years old!)

    While yoga may not be a cure-all, it is the sort of thing that everybody should be doing due to its tremendous health benefits. Here is a look at some of the most significant beneficial effects of yoga.

    Cardiovascular Health

    Rumor has it that yoga boosts heart health and prevents heart disease. As it turns out, these rumors could very well be true.

    According to a study published in 2014 in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, there was evidence of improved cardio-metabolic health in participants that practiced yoga regularly.

    That’s great news considering that heart disease is the number one killer of men and women in America today!

    Pain

    Muscle pain happens to all of us every day. If you go running without stretching or you’re just plain old, muscle pain is a part of our daily life.

    What’s more, the market is flooded with pain killers and muscle relaxants that have as many side effects as prescribed uses. Avoid all of that with yoga.

    Scientific studies have shown that yoga can improve the pain associated with conditions from lower back pain to even serious conditions like Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis.

    Stress

    If you’re alive, chances are that you experience stress. How can you not? We all experience different levels of it and we all deal with it differently. Many of us choose to partake in a couple of adult beverages or a cigarette to relieve some stress. But it is important to find other healthier options for stress release. Yoga is one of these options.

    Exercise is a great way to bust stress and improve your overall mood and health. Yoga has shown to have multiple effects. One study even suggests it may lead to decreased levels of anxiety and even depression.

    Whether it’s for relaxation, flexibility or for general health, yoga is the number-one exercise for you. These examples are just the tip of the iceberg, to learn more about how yoga can change your life for the better contact us today.
