Health Benefits of Yoga



Yoga is first introduced by Hindu people as Pranayama, a kind of breathing exercise that focuses on proper breathing and the correct use of the lungs, giving health benefits to the body. However, there are still other benefits that Yoga gives and here are some of them.

By stretching out your tight body in the proper manner, Yoga helps improve physical flexibility, leading to greater range of motion for your joints and muscles. It not only stretches them, but also gives a better shape too with proper body alignment, making you healthier and lowering your risk to most types of body pain.

Aside from stretching, Yoga also improves the mind with meditation techniques combined with proper breathing, helping you relieve stress from a day’s work.

While the main goal for Yoga is to relieve stress, this is also the perfect time to forget the past but face the future with a clean and refreshed mind.
