A more flexible and agile body

Yoga poses can help stretch your muscles, and practicing yoga daily can help you move better and reduce stress or fatigue. At any level of yoga practice, the benefits of yoga are very evident, especially in terms of body flexibility. A recent study showed that after 8 weeks of practicing yoga, body flexibility increased by 35%.

Stronger muscles

For certain poses such as downward dog, upward dog, or plank, yoga is extremely effective in strengthening the upper body. Especially with standing poses, if you hold this pose for a few breaths over a long period, it will help strengthen the hamstrings, glutes, and abdominal muscles. Poses that strengthen the lower back include backbends and seated poses.

Improved posture

As you become more flexible and agile, your sitting or standing posture will improve. Yoga can also help you understand your body better. This will help you quickly identify if you are sitting or standing incorrectly, allowing you to correct your posture.

Improvement of health conditions

When practicing yoga, through deep breathing, the body will relax, all organs will be harmonized, balanced, soothed, and healed. Specifically, yoga helps improve lung function, purify the body, and eliminate all toxins from the body.

Relief of pressure and stress

You will feel less stressed, more comfortable, and relaxed after practicing yoga. Some yoga exercises use meditation techniques, thereby helping to calm the mind.

Good for cardiovascular health

Yoga has long been known for its ability to stabilize blood pressure and slow the heart rate. This is very beneficial for those with high blood pressure, stroke, or cardiovascular diseases. Additionally, yoga can also reduce cholesterol and fat levels, as well as help the immune system function better.
