Practicing yoga regularly can be incredibly beneficial both mentally and physically. If you suffer from anxiety, stress, or depression yoga can be a way to subside your symptoms. Using Yoga helps to open the door to self-awareness, relaxation, and peace.
By using yoga as a method of relaxation or treatment, you are not only helping your own spirituality, but you are helping to create good health, physical strength, longevity, and for some, chronic pain.
Yoga requires no special training or athletic background. There are no age restrictions and is beneficial to all.
Using yoga helps to relieve tense, tight muscles brought on by stress and anxiety. Spiritually and emotionally yoga helps to reduce unwanted thoughts, negative thinking and retrains the mind to be positive, less critical and more accepting to yourself and others.
There are several different poses and styles used in yoga. Mostly depending on what needs a person is looking for, and if you decide to enroll in a yoga class, some teachers have different traditions and styles that they teach.
