as builds overall strength and mobility.
Yoga is suitable for anyone, of any age, size,
and background - “anybody can breathe.
Therefore anybody can practice yoga”.
Let’s take a closer look at a few of the
benefits.
1. Yoga Improves Strength And Flexibility
Slow movements and deep breathing
increases blood flow and warms up
muscles while holding a pose, activating
your core and using body weight as
you move through the practice builds
strength. The holding of poses creates
a deep connection to the muscle tissue,
encouraging it to relax and stretch. Many
people notice a “35 percent increase in
their flexibility after only eight weeks of
regular yoga practice”. In terms of strength,
don’t make the mistake of thinking yoga is
a passive exercise. Each pose is aimed at
targeting a specific group of muscles and
even the simplest poses, such as upward

4. Yoga For Stress Relief
“According to a 2018 study, yoga had a
positive result on women who practiced
it three times a week for four weeks.
After twelve sessions, they experienced
significant reductions in stress, depression,
and anxiety.” Yoga helps you focus on the

6. Yoga As An Anti-Inflammatory Therapy
Several studies show that a regular
yoga practice can bring down the
levels of stress hormones that promote
inflammation; lowers the levels of several
pro-inflammatory molecules in the body
and brings down inflammation that is
beneficial in conditions like arthritis. It is
also known to relieve severe pain seen
in diseases like fibromyalgia and inhibits
inflammation that in turn weakens and
even kills cancerous cells in people with
cancer.
