all about yoga and its benefits (and with that i don't just mean wearing yoga pants lmao)
- a thread• there are plenty of studies (e.g.oxford university) that show the health benefits even for people who practice yoga only once a week
- less stressed out
- lowers blood pressure
- makes you sleep better at night
- helps with musculoskeletal issues
(even lower back pain)
- can help relieve asthma
- the mental health benefits are
HUGE
- can help controlling your anxiety
and many people say yoga helped
them improving the way they
now deal with panic attacks• don't worry that you might not be flexible enough: yes, there are some kinda diffult poses in yoga but there are so many types of yoga!! some types do encourage a hard workout but there are also a lot of very relaxing and meditative ones
(you've ever heard of pranayama?t his type is all about gentle stretching and focuses on breathing)• so,,, what is my experience with yoga?
tbh i only started last month but i can really see a huge difference in my life even if it has only been a few weeks:
i am:
- so much more motivated to change
my life, to actually do something
and sticking to my goals
- feeling so much healthier!! it's not
just the fact that i am finally active,
it's more that i feel like i want to
live (and eat) healthy; it's hard to
explain but my mindset and my
actions totally changed with yoga
- happier; i felt so weird the first few
days because i was so relaxed and
happy,, the motivation i gained was
extreme and i've never been a
unhappy person but yoga brought it
to a whole new level
- much more flexible and my body
just overall feels amazing• "how do i start doing yoga without a yoga studio in my town?"
there are so many great videos on youtube and i'm currently doing the 30 day yoga challenge by 'yoga with adriene' and i can really recommend it!! i've never to a yoga studio either haha
