BENEFITS OF YOGA |
| |
Yoga helps you to make healthier life choices. There is a story in yoga about the student who asked their yoga teacher whether their smoking habit would interfere with their yoga. The teacher smiled and replied. “No, but your yoga will interfere with your smoking.” Whether or not that was the case, one of the great things about yoga is that it helps you to tune into what your body wants and needs. Many people find that the acceptance and self-love that they practise on the yoga mat can have a profound impact to the way they treat their bodies off the mat, whether that is through improved activity levels. better nutritional choices or reduced reliance on alcohol or tobacco.

BENEFITS OF YOGA |
| |
Yoga encourages your body’s natural healing process. The body has an incredible ability to heal itself, given the appropriate conditions. Yoga practice can be a wonderful way to create an environment which allows the body’s innate healing powers to kick in. In part this is due to the effects of mindfulness on the immune system, increasing the body’s ability to fight disease and restore health. The strengthening and lengthening effects of yoga can improve mobility and function, helping the body to recover from physical injury. And the benefits for mental health can lead to improved sleep patterns and enhanced wellbeing, greatly improving your quality of life.
