Benefits
A
good yoga program helps you manage pain, heal common ailments, and
promote your overall well-being. Unlike other exercises, yoga generates
energy rather than dissipates it. Yoga is both therapeutic and preventative
in nature. It helps keep the nervous system elastic and capable of
bearing stress. Yoga postures penetrate each layer of the body and,
ultimately the consciousness itself. Only in yoga can you keep the
body and the mind relaxed, even as you stretch, extend, rotate, and
flex your body. The benefits are cumulative over time.
Yoga
is more than just physical movement and postures, though you will
gain flexibility and improve your strength. Breathing (something we
can all do) is central to yoga. In mastering simple yogic breathing,
you realize the breath has the power to change how you feel and think
and, like the poses, breathing is done slowly, with mindfulness. Focused
breathing is calming to the mind and relaxing to the body.
