Are you looking for a reason to try Yoga?
Happy Friday Girls! Let’s start your weekend with a relaxing workout! Yoga is much more than these weird poses. It actually increases your flexibility and reduces stress; it’s about a healthy lifestyle! We give you five reasons why you should try yoga.
Stress relief
First of all, you should try a few minutes of yoga every day to empty your mind and focus on your body and breathing. It’s an effective way to deal with stress. Breathing and mental exercises allow the mind to slow down which results in a better night rest.
Fight Food Cravings
When you practice yoga on a regular basis, you will become more aware of your eating patterns. Mindful eating, an awareness of physical and emotional sensations associated with eating. Yoga breathing exercises can help you slow down and make better choices when cravings strike.
More confidence
Yoga asks you to tune into how your body feels and what it can do—not how it looks.
Makes you more productive
Yoga moves the body, creating a physical space and stirring up energy. Then, when we sit in meditation, we observe that energy settle so we feel the deep stillness. This extra ‘head space’ leads to better decisions, better work relationships, and increased productivity.”
Toned Body and Better Posture
You’re using your body weight to move from posture to posture, and in certain poses, you’re lifting every pound of it. Regular yoga practice stretches and tones the body muscles and makes them stronger. Practicing yoga will strengthen your core, and this can improve your body posture (standing, sitting, walking and even sleeping).
