long-term benefits of yoga
The benefits on your physical body - they’re such an important reason to keep it up as we get older.
Most general yoga classes make you physically stronger which translates into feeling generally stronger in your daily life. And since your body and mind are connected you will notice you also start to feel emotionally more stable and more resilient as a result of the physical strength.
Another main benefit for the body is improved mobility and flexibility.
Yoga also makes you feel happier generally because yoga teaches you how to stay focused. Through yoga, you learn techniques to down-regulate your nervous system, basically to relax more. This combination of relaxation and improved attention helps you to access a calm and focused state. It allows us to be in the present moment, to be present with our reality, with what we are actually doing.
We can often feel part of something bigger than us, a connection to the world, each other, the life that runs through all of us. Yoga gives us access to the source of creation. This allows us to take life’s challenges less personally and to feel supported during the hardest of times.
I know yoga makes me a nicer person to be around. A lightness of being will always have a positive effect on the beings around you.
