What are the benefits of yoga?

Yoga is a holistic practice widely known for its well-being benefits and nurturing qualities. It is estimated that currently there are about 300 mln people around the world that practice it.

So why is yoga so special?

Yoga can have positive benefits for the physical body as well as the mental health and its benefits extend well beyond that. Today there is so much research to support what ancient yogis knew intuitively.

People practice yoga to:

-Improve their health overall
-Feel less tension, stiffness, sourness or pain in different areas of the body and muscles, especially after long days of holding similar positions
(sitting, typing, texting, driving, standing, cooking, taking care of children, performing, repetitive movements)
-Build strength, improve flexibility, enhance balance and coordination
-Compliment other sports (e.g. rock climbing, golf, tennis, running)
-Manage better stress or anxiety
-Experience relaxation
-Simply feel better

Today science is backing up what ancient yogis knew intuitively and practiced over thousands of years: breath, meditation and movement matter in fostering mindbody connection and your overall health.
