It's pretty safe to say that if you typed "yoga classes"' in your area into the yellow pages search engine, probably 4 or 5 would pop up about 10 kms from your house. Yoga studios are everywhere. But why should we sacrifice an hour of our favourite crime show to adorn stretchy pants with a bunch of strangers?
Yoga increases flexibility, muscle tone and loosens joints. Instead of complaining of lower back pain from sitting at your desk all day or the headaches that your stiff neck causes you, why not strengthen your muscles and increase the circulation to these areas so they fix themselves?
Yoga poses are like an "internal massage" for all the organs of your body so it's great for digestion and increases the flow of nutrients to all areas of the body. This gentle manipulation assists your body with its natural detoxification process.
The benefits of yoga aren't just physical. We store so many emotions and tension in our bodies that when we put our bodies in different poses it helps to release this stress.
I could write for hours about the benefits of yoga, but why don't you go out and experience them first hand. Don't worry if you're not that flexible at first. Regular practice will have you folding up like a laptop in no time.
