The popularity of Yoga has created an industry that is being valued at 27 billion dollars. Yoga studios are popping up all over, yoga gear, books, TV and Radio Shows, DVDs and CDs are just a few of the products fueling the industry. Why is yoga so popular? Here, we look at the top 10 benefits of
regular yoga practice.
1. Stress relief.My personal reason for starting the practice, I desperately needed the tools to cope. A few minutes of yoga during the
day can be a great way to get rid of stress that accumulates daily - in
both the body and mind. Yoga postures, pranayama and meditation are
effective techniques to release stress.
2.All-round fitness.
You are truly healthy when you are not just physically fit but also
mentally and emotionally balanced.
3. Weight loss. What many want! Yoga benefits here too. Sun Salutations and Kapal Bhati pranayama are some ways to help lose weight with yoga.
Moreover, with regular practice of yoga, we tend to become more
sensitive to the kind of food our body asks for and when. This can also
help keep a check on weight.
4. Inner peace. We all love to visit peaceful,
serene spots, rich in natural beauty. Little do we realize that peace
can be found right within us and we can take a mini-vacation to
experience this any time of the day!
5. Improved immunity. Our system is a seamless blend
of the body, mind and spirit. An irregularity in the body affects the
mind and similarly unpleasantness or restlessness in the mind can
manifest as an ailment in the body. Yoga poses massage organs and
stregthen muscles; breathing techniques and meditation release stress
and improve immunity.
6. Living with greater awareness. The mind is
constantly involved in activity – swinging from the past to the future –
but never staying in the present. By simply being aware of this
tendency of the mind, we can actually save ourselves from getting
stressed or worked up and relax the mind. Yoga and pranayama help create
that awareness and bring the mind back to the present moment, where it can stay happy and focused.
7.Better relationships. Yoga can even help improve your relationship
with your spouse, parents, friends or loved ones! A mind that is
relaxed, happy and contented is better able to deal with sensitive
relationship matters. Yoga and meditation work on keeping the mind happy
and peaceful; benefit from the strengthened special bond you share with
people close to you.
8. Increased energy. Do you feel completely drained
out by the end of the day? Shuttling between multiple tasks through the
day can sometimes be quite exhausting. A few minutes of yoga everyday
provides the secret to feeling fresh and energetic even after a long
day. A 10-minute online guided meditation benefits you immensely,
leaving you refreshed and recharged in the middle of a hectic day.
9. Better flexibility & posture. You only need
to include yoga in your daily routine to benefit from a body that is
strong, supple and flexible. Regular yoga practice stretches and tones
the body muscles and also makes them strong. It also helps improve your
body posture when you stand, sit, sleep or walk. This would, in turn,
help relieve you of body pain due to incorrect posture.
10. Better intuition. Yoga and meditation have the
power to improve your intuitive ability so that you effortlessly realize
what needs to be done, when and how, to yield positive results. It
works. You only need to experience it yourself.
Remember, yoga is a continuous process. So keep practicing! The
deeper you move into your yoga practice, the more profound are its
benefits.
