Yoga Is an Ancient Health Practice

Yoga has been practiced in Asian for thousands of years, to strengthen the body, improve breathing and quiet the mind. The method uses standard positions, called “asana” to focus on particular parts of the body and achieve an integrated feeling of calm, control and wellbeing. It also includes controlled breathing patterns that carry oxygen throughout the body for better health. The practice can be tailored to different levels of physical fitness, which makes it a valuable method for improving physical health and emotional serenity.

Yoga and Back Strength

Many yoga positions include bending and stretching motions that relieve pressure on discs, muscles, and nerves of the spinal column. In addition, positions that involve twisting the central core of the body strengthen the back muscles, as well as abdominal muscles, which improve spinal function for everyday movement. Yoga also increases flexibility in the neck, shoulders, hips, knees, legs, and ankles, for better balance, flexibility and improved mobility.

Yoga for Stress Management and Emotional Well Being

The experience of pain is a complex process that involves many factors. It can increase the feeling of stress and affect your ability to enjoy everyday activities and pleasures. Yoga offers a way to not only improve your physical condition but also to find mental relaxation and peace of mind. These benefits help to improve your physical wellbeing and manage health issues with a greater sense of control and serenity.
