Reasons to Practice Yoga
The many benefits of Yoga:
Heal injuries
Humans are made up of more than just muscles. Joints and ligaments need stretching and movement to avoid arthritis and the effects of atrophied muscles
Improve your posture
Your spine can get compressed by years of stress and bad posture. Yoga helps you stretch your back.
Gain strength, flexibility and improved balance
Yoga provides exercise that counteracts the repetitive stressful actions of training only specific muscle groups. Since a good Yoga class works you out on every level without isolating a certain muscle group, greater balance and flexibility is achieved by strengthening the entire body.
Improve your ability to focus
Athletes practice yoga for the mental benefits - learning to focus and breath into excercises.
