Various Benefits of Yoga

I came across this great article and couldn't help but share. For all the yogi's and non-yogi's I feel it's important to understand the great benefits of the movements, motions, and meditations practiced. I'll be the first to admit that in my new and busy city-life, I have pushed yoga off to the side a bit. But just reading how great it is for mind-body connection... it's quite inspiring to hop back onto the mat!



1. Yoga increases flexibility, helping common ailments, such as typical aches and pains.
2. Stimulates blood pressure control, regulating blood pressure, heart trate, body temperature, respiratory function, high stress level, and metabolic rate.
3. Toning muscles and ridding of excess fat.
4. Lowers oxygen consumption which leads to relaxation and easier sleep.
5. Meditation keeps the heart healthy as well by increasing blood flow creating less work for your heart. Meditation also helps to build endurance, resolve phobias, and reduce the activity of emotional distress.
Any of this sound too difficult? Read the entire article here. Namaste!

It's true that yoga can give us so many benefits. At first I thought it could reduce my belly fats just like how the coolsculpting in New York does, but then it does you more than that. The satisfaction of getting all the positive energy is such a fun experience.
