Benefits of Yoga

Improves Strength, Flexibility, and Balance

The root of yoga’s physical practice involves strengthening your body, while enhancing flexibility and balance. Flexibility is an important component of physical health. A daily yoga practice offers maintenance for the body that can vary in intensity and choice, those being: restorative, hatha, flow, and power. Studies show that maintaining strength and flexibility in our physicality allows for optimal mobility as we age.

Reduces Stress and Anxiety

Remember, yoga is not only just a physical practice – it is a practice that is centered around breathwork, asana (physical practice), and meditation. A regular yoga practice can help you to manage your stress levels and improve your overall quality of mindfulness and sense of mental wellness. Mediation, breath work and auditory rituals such as chanting and sound baths have been shown to significantly lessen tension, relieve stress and anxiety, while boosting mental clarity.

Promotes Ayurvedic Health and Boosts Immunity

When our immunity is compromised we are susceptible to more illness. Currently most of our society is in a state of “dis-ease” from poor diet, stress, and lack of sleep. Practicing a yogic lifestyle that is ayurvedic (holistic) allows for a natural, more organic approach to living and maintaining our sense of wellbeing. Furthermore, an intake of ayurvedic-type foods can help to reduce inflammation in the body, leading to proper gut health.
