• When it comes to staying fit, most folks hit the
  gym and spend time on exercises that promise
  quick strength-building and weight loss results.
  But here's the thing if you're patient enough,
  yoga can offer you similar results. Don't worry
  it doesn't matter if you can't touch your toes or
  dont feel flexible, all you need to do is make
  up your mind and get your yoga mat ready. Here
  are seven reasons why you should get started
• 1. Perfect Posture
• Did you know that when your head is balanced
  directly over an erect spine, your back and neck
  muscles don't have to work as hard to support it?

• Poor posture can result in back, neck, joint and
  muscular pain which may cause you to tire down
  easily. As you continue to slouch, the body finds
  a way to compensate by flattening the natural
  inward curves of your lower back and neck. This
  may lead to degenerative arthritis and pain in
  the spine. Yoga will help to strengthen and
  balance the supporting musculature and improve
  your posture.
• 2.Improved Agility
• If you play sports and want to improve
  performance, signing up for a yoga class should
  be next on your list. While the benefits are
  subtler than those of workouts such as
  weightlifting or running, they will still offer
  you an edge in both competition and everyday
  life.the guidance of an experienced yoga teacher

  muscle strains or pulls.

  performance to the elderly seeking great function
  and range of movement, yoga can help.

  techniques to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and
  calm the mind. Simple breathing exercises can be
  integrated into your everyday routine, offering

• Making yoga a part of your everyday routine can
  increase proprioception and improve balance.
  People who display bad posture or are trapped
  indysfunctional movement patterns are more likely
  to experience poor balance and an increased
  incidence of falls or accidents. While improving
  balance and spatial awareness are particularly
  important for the elderly, greater body control
  is helpful for everyone and essential for
  competitive athletes who want to be at the top of
  their game.

  taxing on the nervous system. With constant
  notifications and email reminders bombarding us
  every day, getting away from the hustle and
  bustle of modern life can be challenging. The
  good news is that a yoga class offers a
  mini-retreat from the barrage of distractions and
  regular practice will teach you how to focus on
  the most important aspects and block out the
  interference of interruptions. Numerous yoga
  poses encourage the nervous system step back from
  being on high alert, providing for relaxation and
  a sense of calm.

  sleep at night, lowering your stress levels and

  to prioritize self-care. It provides you the
  opportunity to make healthy, productive changes
  in your life whether it's waking up earlier or
  shifting your dietary choices to more healthful
  alternatives. With regular practice, you will be
  inspired to take more control of your life and
  dedicate more time to self-care. Best of all if
  you take group classes you will be surrounded
  by a group of like-minded people who will
  motivate you to stay on track and bring positive
  changes to your daily routine.
