YOGA BENEFITS - 10 POSITIVE EFFECTS FOR YOUR HEALTH
Why should you do yoga? We all know that regular exercise
and movement are good for our bodies. But what special effects do we unleash
through yoga? The great thing is: Yoga has many effects that can have a
positive impact on our health - both mentally and physically.
What are the benefits of yoga? What do you have to consider?
What happens to my body when I do the exercises? In this article you will find the
10 positive effects yoga has on your health and why you should therefore
incorporate regular exercises into your everyday life. Here we go!
1. CONTROL BREATHING
Probably the most important and perhaps most valuable aspect
of yoga is the effect it has on breathing. Nothing is as decisive for the
sequence of movements, but also for the entire yoga session, as correct
breathing or breathing technique. Learning these is one of the basic principles
and affects the entire implementation. It ensures that you can find your inner
peace, concentrate on performing the exercises and, above all, remain in certain
yoga positions for the entire duration.
It is not for nothing that this part of yoga is one of the most difficult and often requires years of practice. However, as soon as you have learned to control your breathing, you can also use the techniques you have learned in everyday life, for example to find peace in exciting situations, after a strenuous day at work or during panic attacks.
2. GET TO KNOW YOUR BODY
Regular yoga training also has a positive effect on your
self-esteem. For one thing, you will notice some physical changes - such as
firmer skin. However, through the movement sequences you will get to know your
body better and learn how flexible you are and which exercises are good for
you. Yoga is suitable for everyone and has no restrictions.
3. STRENGTHEN THE MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM
Yoga has another positive effect on your entire
musculoskeletal system. The movements and exercises are so extensive and varied
that they train your entire body and address all muscle groups equally. This
strengthens the entire musculoskeletal system and thus often has a more
effective training than through pure strength or endurance exercises while
jogging or visiting the gym.
4. RELIEVE THE BODY
As soon as you have strengthened your muscles through the
individual yoga exercises, you automatically begin to relieve your body. Newly
built or activated muscle groups protect your body from injuries, from back and
neck complaints - which are often part of everyday life in office and desk jobs
- as well as from muscular tension. I think it's an extremely valuable yoga
advantage!
5. INCREASE VITALITY
Some yoga exercises are primarily aimed at relaxation.
Others activate the body and increase your vitality. By using different muscle
groups and staying in different asanas (resting body positions), the energy
flows in the body are activated and can thus increase your mental and physical
performance.
6. ORGANIZE THOUGHTS
Yoga is the perfect way to organize your thoughts and take
the time to focus on yourself. This conscious time is often missing or
neglected, especially in stressful everyday life. In particular, if you master
the breathing techniques and meditative states, it will also help you in your
job, in your free time or in your private life to control or direct your mental
state.
7. MEDITATION: DEVELOPING MENTAL STRENGTH
You also bring about positive changes through the meditative
elements of yoga. The focus on the inside and the clear guidance of your own
thoughts ensures that you build up your inner strength and learn to remain calm
in challenging situations. In addition, meditation has a positive effect on
your defences and your immune system.
8. HEAL THE BODY
No matter what ailments you may have - the versatile
exercises and possibilities of yoga allow you to solve or alleviate many
impairments or restrictions. There are exercises that you can use to loosen
neck blocks and, with others, have particularly positive effects on your joints.
Yoga has been shown to have positive effects in the following areas:
Strengthening the cardiovascular system
Increase in antioxidants in the blood
Strengthening the back
Relief of tension in the neck area
Headache reduction
After all, yoga contributes to your general well-being and can also help with depression, panic attacks, or other emotional states.
9. STRUCTURE EVERYDAY LIFE
Integrating regular yoga exercises into everyday life may be
difficult at first. However, if you notice how much the exercises help you to
keep your body fit and healthy, you will probably automatically integrate them
into your everyday life. In addition, they help you to create a fixed structure
in your day, which you ensure regularity and routine. This helps you to stay
relaxed, to plan enough time for yourself and to face new tasks with
confidence.
Routines and clear structures are very important and essential for recovery, especially with mental illnesses such as depression. In addition, yoga exercises and other regularities help to distract yourself from certain things on which one - with a certain psychological history - is too focused and rigid.
10. RECHARGE YOUR BATTERIES
Probably the most important aspect of yoga and the greatest
benefit - is the opportunity to recharge your batteries. Hardly any other
sporting activity manages as much as yoga to provide new strength for mind and
body in the end, despite strenuous exercises. Be it on a mental or physical
level - the positive effect on your energies can be enormous!
THE BENEFITS OF YOGA ARE OBVIOUS!
So, if you have still doubted or thought that yoga offers no
benefits for you and your physical and mental condition, then you were wrong!
Clearly, there are numerous positive effects of studying yoga techniques and
incorporating them into your healthy lifestyle.
