Experience a body-mind flow as the breath is linked to movement, creating a feeling of being grounded in the present and a connection with your inner strength. These are just some of yoga’s beneficial effects.

Health benefits:  prevention is better than cure

Strength, Posture, Breathing, Stress, Concentration and Health Conditions

Anyone at any age can practice yoga. There is no need to be flexible as this develops naturally in effectively carrying out the movements. Better yet, flexible people need to practice yoga in order to gain strength. Improving your posture is another benefit, as the movements create awareness and strengthen core- and back muscles, allowing you to sit and stand more upright. The long deep breaths involved improve oxygen intake and is beneficial to the heart, lung capacity and overall concentration. Less stress hormones are produced due to the biochemical reactions that occur in the body, which also helps improve sleep. Yoga can alleviate certain health conditions like high blood pressure, symptoms of asthma, back pain and arthritis. Practicing yoga has not only become mainstream, but is also often recommended by general practitioners and other health care professionals.
