Reducing tension and anxiety: According to research by Ronald C. Kessler, sociologist and professor at Harvard Medical School in Massachusetts, daily yoga decreases anxiety and tension like traditional medical therapy does not (taking anxiolytics).
Increases sleep quality and helps you sleep better: According to another research performed by the Swami Vivekananda Yoga Research Foundation, persons who practised yoga needed an average of 10 minutes less to fall asleep and slept an extra hour every night. Furthermore, they reported feeling more rested in the morning.
Making you work better: If your job exhausts you, you dislike it, or you work in a highly competitive setting, yoga can help you break free without changing jobs. Another Hindu study that examined five indicators of work performance (satisfaction, commitment, results, emotional involvement, and social relationships with colleagues) found that the benefits of yoga were appreciated by the worker in four of the five points examined, with only the level of commitment being exempt.
Enhancing academic performance and concentration: Yoga includes attention to breathing and meditation, which allows for a more calm state of mind, reducing nerves and tension from the pressures of studies and boosting performance. Alternatively, study less and learn more and faster. An hour of yoga is preferable to a restless night fuelled by caffeine to pass a test, an opposition, or a job interview.
Strengthening bones and muscles without stiffness: When done gradually and appropriately, yoga reduces lactic acid accumulation in the body while also strengthening the bones, reducing bone mass loss, and improving joint flexibility—for example, a fantastic natural cure to osteoporosis.
Increasing flexibility: Although the postures may appear contortionist-like at first, as
you develop in your practice, yoga helps to improve muscle flexibility. Crossing your legs in
the lotus position will be easy, and it will serve as a platform to practice your favourite
sport while avoiding harm.
Yoga is particularly successful in relieving most chronic pain, including neck pain, rheumatoid
arthritis, knee pain, low back pain, chronic back pain, sciatica, and fibromyalgia, among
others, with a well-adapted practice. To avoid injuries, it is necessary to follow the
instructions of a master yogi.
Serves as an anti-aging therapy: Yes, current research indicates that yoga and meditation can help preserve DNA from harm caused by lifestyle or the natural passage of time. It has been demonstrated that its regular practice is capable of reversing the aging process because it has a direct impact on telomerase, that well-known enzyme that is critical to protecting telomeres, the ends of chromosomes that shorten with each cell division, and the longer they are, the longer our lives will be.
Burn calories: This is a popular and scientifically confirmed claim. According to some studies, practising Vinyasa Yoga requires an average caloric expenditure of 7 kcal/min, comparable to burning around 507 calories per hour. Ideal as a supplement to a slimming diet or to maintain a healthy weight.
Trains you to breathe appropriately and adequately: Yogic breathing, also known as abdominal or diaphragmatic breathing—inspiration begins in the belly, continues in the intercostal area, terminates in the clavicle, and reverses—increases cell oxygenation. Breathing deeply and slowly also reduces your heart rate and calms your muscles. In reality, it is an excellent approach for preparing for delivery or dealing with any scenario in which pain appears. Due to its immense array of benefits, Yoga continues to grow in popularity around the world with many people adopting techniques into their weekly routines to improve quality of life, reduce stress levels and musculoskeletal pain.
