The Ins and Outs of Becoming a Yogi

The Ins and Outs of Becoming a Yogi

Looking for reasons to try out yoga? Here are some proven examples of how yoga can improve your life, keep you grounded and of course healthy!

Increased Flexibility

The first obvious health benefit is flexibility. Yoga improves your overall flexibility, and although you may not be able to touch your toes during the first class, over time that will change. At first your muscles may seem tight, but eventually they will start to loosen. Your aches and pains will start to disappear, and your posture will strengthen.

Muscle Strengthening

When your muscles strengthen they protect you from conditions like arthritis and back pain. Although you can improve your muscle strength by going to the gym, yoga helps you improve your balance as well.

Immune Boosting

When your muscles are being stretched during yoga practice your organs move around and increase the drainage of your lymphs. This movement helps the lymphatic system fight off any infections, and eliminate cancerous cells.

Improves Bone Density

Evidence suggests that yoga can improve your bone density. Yoga poses that require you to lift your own weight may help strengthen your bones. For instance, downward and upward facing dog, are all weight bearing exercises, which can alleviate osteoporosis.

Improve Blood Flow and Circulation

Any yoga exercises can help your blood circulation in your body. These exercises also get more oxygen to your cells, which help your body perform better. Yoga also increases the levels of hemoglobin and red blood cells. This carries oxygen to the tissues and thins out blood, which can decrease the occurrence of blood clots.

If you’re feeling tired or lacking in energy then try yoga out today. You’re sure to feel the difference soon and reap all the rewards of feeling healthier!
