The Benefits of YOGA!

By: Carrie Beisel



The BENEFITS OF YOGA are truly unlimited. Here are a few!

* Increased Flexibility - yoga has positions used by various
joints of the body including those joints that we are unaware of
or haven't been used for other forms of exercise. * Increasing
Lubrication of the joints, ligaments and tendons - likewise, the
well-researched yoga positions exercise the different tendons
and ligaments of the body.

A body which may have been quite rigid starts experiencing a
remarkable flexibility in even those parts which have not been
consciously work upon. Through research using yoga positions,
proof is evident. Unrelated simple yoga positions (asanas) act
upon certain parts of the body in an interrelated manner. When
done together, they work in harmony to create a situation where
flexibility is attained relatively easily. * Massaging of ALL
organs of the body - Yoga is perhaps the only form of activity
which massages all the internal glands and organs of the body in
a thorough manner that hardly get externally stimulated much
during our entire lifetime. Yoga acts in a wholesome manner on
the various body parts. This stimulation and massage of the
organs in turn benefits us by keeping away disease and can
provide warnings at the first possible instance of an onset of a
disease or disorder. 

* Decrease in Weight by performing simple asanas and meditation.
Once the body is in a constant state of movement (however slight
through your yoga practice), including your breathing
techniques, metabolism is heightened. You will lose minimal
weight without changing your habits, yet the benefits of
increased flexibility and decreased stress, you will feel better
as a whole.

* Complete Detoxification - By gently stretching muscles and
joints as well as massaging the various organs, yoga ensures the
optimum blood supply to various parts of the body. This helps in
the flushing out of toxins providing nourishment for the entire
body. This leads to benefits such as delayed ageing, energy and
a remarkable zest for life. * Excellent Toning of the Muscles -
muscles that have become weak or slothy are stimulated
repeatedly to shed excess flab & increase tone.
