Is yoga on your list of New Year’s resolutions? If it is, you’re in luck because yoga is incredibly beneficial for both your mind and body. If yoga isn’t on your list of resolutions this year, maybe it will be after you learn more about it!
According to the American Osteopathic Association, yoga is a healing system of theory and practice, which helps to create strength, purpose, awareness, and harmony in the mind and body. If you suffer from body aches and pains, yoga is especially beneficial at getting to the root of the problem and preventing other types of medical conditions.
Yoga is a series of stretches, poses, and breathing techniques. The relaxation techniques in yoga can help to ease chronic pain, such as pain from arthritis, headaches, carpal tunnel syndrome, or back pain. Yoga has also been proven to lower blood pressure, reduce insomnia, and even assist in weight loss. Most importantly, yoga is excellent for protection from injury and keeping the body safe and stress-free.
When practiced regularly, yoga can improve muscle strength, tone, and flexibility, and it can also improve energy and vitality. Yoga can help to balance a person’s metabolism and assist in weight reduction, while also improving circulatory health. If weight loss is a goal for the New Year, yoga can help you to feel great, manage stress, and assist in weight loss. Of course, eating plenty of fruits and vegetables in conjunction with practicing yoga and other forms of aerobic exercise is even better.
