Modern, busy life makes people increasingly tend to be less active. This leads to a higher risk of joint and muscle stiffness for many. The cause of this condition may be due to dehydration in the connective tissues, causing muscle fibers to stick together easily and reduce elasticity. Regular stretch yoga practice will stimulate the production of lubricants in the tissues, thereby helping muscles become more flexible and healthy.

Improve Mood

According to a 1993 study, just 30 minutes of breathing exercises and yoga stretching movements significantly improved energy levels and helped regulate mood. These benefits are believed to be related to the release of endorphin hormones during exercise. Additionally, controlled breathing techniques combined with yoga stretching exercises also play a significant role in helping the mind relax.

Control and Prevent Chronic Diseases

Regular yoga practice can also help reduce some risk factors associated with certain chronic diseases such as high blood pressure, heart disease, insomnia, and anxiety. For example, the downward dog pose, a popular pose that stretches the shoulders, calves, and hamstrings, can be beneficial in managing conditions like sinusitis, asthma, sciatica, and high blood pressure.

Additionally, regular stretch yoga practice also brings benefits such as:

– Increase flexibility and agility of joints such as hand and leg joints, allowing them to move without stiffness or pain.

– Increase endurance for muscles and ligaments, helping to reduce muscle soreness.

– Minimize injuries during physical activities.

– Enhance the functioning of the circulatory and digestive systems.

– Reduce stress, making you feel happier and more cheerful.

– Boost the immune system, limit cramps, and muscle stiffness during intense activities.
