The Benefits of Yoga
Yoga develops strength and flexibility, re-aligns the skeleton and helps to keep the body’s organs healthy. Frequent practice gives students a great awareness of their body’s capabilities and how to apply the techniques learnt in one pose to many others thus deepening their understanding and appreciation of the benefits of yoga.
The tensions and stresses of modern busy lives often cause muscular tightness in the body which can translate into bad posture, back problems and other ailments. Yoga stretches the entire body and is a wonderful natural way to release muscular and nervous tensions, allowing the body to soften and relax. It also improves mental concentration and stamina.
With proper instruction, yoga also assists recuperation after illness and surgery. |
