Yoga offers a wide range of physical, mental, and even cognitive health benefits, especially when practiced regularly and safely.
Benefits are :
• Helps burn calories and supports healthy weight loss
• Tones core, legs, glutes, and upper body muscles
• Improves flexibility and joint mobility
• Enhances posture and spinal strength
• Reduces stress and relaxes the mind
• Boosts digestion and metabolism
• Increases overall strength and body balance
Regular practice of yoga promotes strength, endurance, flexibility and facilitates characteristics of friendliness, compassion, and greater self-control, while cultivating a sense of calmness and well-being.
Sustained practice also leads to changes in life perspective, self-awareness and an improved sense of energy to live life fully and with genuine enjoyment.[
The practice of yoga produces a physiological state opposite to that of the flight-or-fight stress response and with that interruption in the stress response, a sense of balance and union between the mind and body can be achieved.
Benefits generally increase with consistent practice (for example, 2–5 sessions per week over several weeks).
