When you begin to practice Yoga you will have more energy, become fitter, feel less stressed and you will have a much more positive approach to the natural ups and down’s of life. Yoga is such a therapeutic way of engaging your body and mind, helping you to become increasingly aware of your posture, and making you more sensitive to how you carry yourself – Your Posture. Even after just a few Yoga classes you can begin to feel the benefits of this increased Body Awareness, and with a regular weekly yoga practice, you deepen this awareness so that in time you will notice yourself correcting your posture, for example, when you sit at your desk, or standing in a queue. This increased sensitivity toward your body has many benefits, bringing you much more energy throughout your day, helping you to unwind, destress, and strengthening your back are but a few of these benefits.
Yoga is unlike other types of physical exercise which you can experience, for example in a gym. These other types of exercise tend to be Competitive and Goal-orientated, which can increase muscle tension, risk of injury, and can cause your breathing to be strained. Conversely, Yoga applies slow and dynamic movements, fused with static poses which will really work and Tone your body to an extremely deep level, bringing muscle tone throughout all of your body as opposed to being localised. Your breathing in yoga is smooth, never strained, and the yoga postures fused within it’s flowing routines will help normalise the tone of your muscles, insuring that you do not cause injury to yourself.
The Benefits
