Yesterday, June 21, was celebrated across the world as "International Yoga Day". We have had a few posts on the benefits of Yoga. Time, we did more research on Yoga and present information which can benefit everyone.
Yoga, consisting of eight limbs (universal ethical principles, individual self-restraint, physical poses, breath work, quieting the senses, concentration, meditation, and emancipation), is believed to bring balance and health to the body, mind, and spirit.
Yoga improves symptoms associated with a number of chronic health conditions including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, and cancer. Yoga decreases inflammation and improves immune system function,and yoga favorably affects mental health, reducing depression and anxiety. Evidence suggests yoga exerts its therapeutic benefits by increasing vagal stimulation and turning off the Hypothalamic-Pituitary- Adrenal (HPA) axis and the Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS) response to stress.
While it is always best to join Yoga classes, you can start with basic asanas provided you have no medical condition which prevents you or limits you.
You can do some beginners stuff by looking at this video.
Wishing you all a happy healthy life!
