Benefits Of Yoga

Hey up everyone!

Now it’s time to know the benefits of yoga. Yoga helps in two ways physiologically and psycologically. At physical level, yoga practices help to improve our physical health and at psychological level, it gives a feeling of fullness and satisfaction to the inner personality. The best part of practicing yoga is that it brings about positive energy and takes the negative energy out. Do you know what is the greatest positive energy and the greatest negative energy? Well, they are the two faces of the same coin, that is happiness and sadness.

Here are some benefits of yoga.

Increasing Flexibility: Yoga has positions that act upon the various joints of the body including those joints that have not been worked upon. It increases lubrication of the joints, ligaments and tendons.

Ligament : (noun) any of the strong strips of tissue in the body that connect bones together, limiting movements in joints and supporting muscles and other tissue

Tendon : (noun) a strong cord in the body connecting a muscle to a bone

Massaging of all organs of the boday: Yoga is perhaps the only form of activity which massages all the internal glands and organs of the body in a thorough manner.

Complete Detoxification: By gently stretching muscles and joints as well as massaging the various organs, yoga ensures the optimum blood supply to various parts of the boday. This helps in the flushing out of toxins from every nook and cranny as well as providing the nourishment up to the last point.

Anti Aging: This one is perhaps the most prestegious benefit of yoga. It steals away your age, makes your skin glow, vanishes wrinkles and brings an enchanting grace in personality.

Loses Weight: Along with various benefits, yoga is helpful in weight management. Musucles that have become flaccid or weak are stimulated repeatedly to shed excess flab and flaccidity. It gives body a shape, corrects posture,and keeps in frame.

Once you start practicing yoga you will experience yourself its benefits. There are so many benefits of yoga that if I begin to write them all the post will get longwinded but the benefits will not end.

Hello Amy, thank you that you liked my post and I hope you will like this one too. I wish you good luck for the yoga classes.

Ana Paula, it’s good to see you back and I’m glad that Rosana is back home. And yes, how was the film? Is the movie based on the story of a kite runner in Afghanistan?

Adri, I liked the photos of yours and Iago. How small he is in the one he is laid on sofa. I just love to picnic on the beach. I also went through the links, they are very informative. Have you visited ivillage.co.uk ?

Anita, Thank you for posting the links again! It was very impressive to read how you got the cholestrol level down to scale. As for yoga, you will be hooked once you try it.

James, I’m really enjoying your posts. They are interesting.

Marianna, I also saw the picture of the castle which you had once told about.

Hello Yumi and Satya! It’s really good to see you after a long time. Satya, we do remember you. How have you been up to?

By the way Yumi, how many dresses have you bought?

Leila thank you so much for providing such an informative link. I’m also going to ask my father to go through it.

That’s all from me. See you again.

Hi Naheed Salam.. I think you chosen a very good topic for discussion today and elaborate all yoga’s benefits very well, I can say all knowledge in one blog, I think you should visit India once and should go to kerela where the yoga comes from, and it’s the destination of Ayurveda. Well I think you are inspired by yoge very much and I am happy to see that a girl belongs to Pakistan knows much more about yoga actually its a very surprised thing for me to see that Naheed is very much enthusiastic about yoga and following it as a necessary part of her life. Nice blog I think its a best blog I ever seen. I think every one should do yoga I am also doing it. Take care n keep blooging Nice to see you again and happy to see you blog. Bye for now Manoj "Monu"

I strongly recommend yoga. I have been doing ashtanga yoga for such long time that I couldn't imagine my life with out doing it. I am pleased that you have brought up this topic. I wish everybody could become acquainted with all the benefits of yoga, minde and body.

Thanks for all your contributions. This blog has now closed and can no longer accept new comments.
