\"Health<\/p>\n

Yoga has been practiced for centuries in our country and has proven to be not only a way of exercise but a way of life. In the west, yoga is one of the most commonly performed fitness program. Unlike the exercises that we perform in a gym, yoga emphasis on the holistic improvement of mind, body and the soul. Here are some of the health benefits of yoga<\/p>\n

Stress relief:<\/strong> A few minutes of yoga during the day can be a great way to get rid of stress that accumulates daily – in both the body and mind. Yoga postures, pranayama and meditation are effective techniques to release stress<\/p>\n

Weight loss<\/strong><\/a>: Surya namaskar (Sun Salutations)\u00a0 and Kapal Bhati pranayama are some ways to help lose weight with yoga. Yoga encourages development of a positive self-image, as more attention is paid to nutrition and the body as a whole<\/p>\n

Pain relief<\/a>:<\/strong> studies have shown that practicing yoga reduces pain for people with conditions such as cancer, multiple sclerosis, auto-immune diseases and hypertension as well as arthritis, back and neck pain and other chronic conditions.<\/p>\n

Improved breathing:<\/strong> Many pranayamas emphasize slowing down and deepening the breath, which activates the body\u2019s parasympathetic system, or relaxation response.<\/p>\n

Flexibility:<\/strong> Yoga can improve flexibility and mobility and increase range of motion. Over time, the ligaments, tendons and muscles lengthen, increasing elasticity.<\/p>\n

Strong bones:<\/strong> Yoga includes many weight bearing poses, which can help strengthen your skeleton and prevent illnesses including osteoporosis.<\/p>\n

Improved Muscle tone<\/strong>: Yoga poses incorporate arm balances that can involve lifting the \u00a0whole body weight , thus strengthening and improving muscle tone.<\/p>\n

Healthy heart:<\/strong> Even a gentle yoga practice can provide cardiovascular benefits by lowering resting heart rate, increasing endurance and improving oxygen uptake during exercise.<\/p>\n

Improved immunity:<\/strong> Yoga poses massage organs and strengthen muscles; breathing techniques and meditation release stress and improve immunity.<\/p>\n

Strong memory: <\/strong>Regular yoga classes have been proven to improve memory and concentration. Recent studies also claim yoga may help in the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer\u2019s.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Increased energy<\/strong>: yoga increases the overall vigour and vitality and keeps the body charged up<\/p>\n

Inner peace:<\/strong> The meditative effects of a consistent yoga practice help cultivate inner peace and calm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
