We all know that Yoga is a very beneficial practice to conduct! Whether its during your free time, or if its part of your daily routine! We can assure you that when you ask someone about Yoga, they will say they feel better when they are done with their session! It promotes health, flexibility, mental wellness and many more things! Lets dig in!!
Lets talk about the obvious.. flexibility! Yoga will help improve your overall flexibility if you do it consistently! This can be very beneficial to your muscles and overall body posture! The more flexible you become, the better you will feel! So like we said flexibility will help improve posture, it will also give your muscles a more toned look since it will lengthen them through stretching! Furthermore, it will allow you to feel more free, open, calm, content, and confident from the inside out!
Now why do you think that your mental wellness will increase when you start to take on yoga? Well the answer is, because you really get to take out the stresses of your daily life when are solely focusing on your yoga routine. You begin to forget about work, forget about the stressful situation you had earlier in the day, and you really start to focus on the NOW. This is beneficial because we never seem to let our brains take a break. We are constantly thinking about something throughout the day that can put more stress and anxiety on us. This is more powerful than anything, and when you begin to let your brain relax, and lose yourself, stress will ultimately go away with it.
Now we don’t want to bore you with ongoing text on why you should take on yoga, so we area going to leave you with this! Go try it, find a friend who currently practices the art of yoga and ask them if you could join, they will definitely say yeah :). If you don’t have a friend who does yoga, then Google some basic poses and techniques and begin to practice on your own time. Now remember, you don’t have to be perfect! It will take time to perfect, but the best thing about it is that you will be having a good time!
Now here is our quote of the day that we will leave you with!
“Why they always look so serious in Yoga? You make serious face like this, you scare away good energy. To meditate, only you must smile. Smile with face, smile with mind, and good energy will come to you and clean away dirty energy. Even smile in your liver. Practice tonight at hotel. Not to hurry, not to try too hard. Too serious, you make you sick. You can calling the good energy with a smile.
― Elizabeth Gilbert
