Benefits of yoga

Submitted by LexiYoga on Apr 20, 2009 - 1:43am

Hi everyone

I just joined this forum. I've been practicing yoga for many years and last year I took the teachers training course. It was amazing. I would highly recommend it for those interested in learning more about yoga postures and the science and philosophies behind it.
There are so many benefits to practicing yoga. It definitely improves your health for the better, keeps you looking young, vibrant and glowing. The more I practice, the better I feel.
My favorite posture is headstand. http://www.lexiyoga.com/poses/head-stand
I love the energizing feeling of doing inversions.

Hopefully I can connect with more teachers and individuals in this yoga community.
Feel free to share your thoughts on what yoga has done to your life? Did it change it in any way?

Hi Lexi,
I am an oldtimer with yoga (almost 60!), but I am a little afraid of headstand. Can you help with some tips?
Thanks to you,
Deva

Greetings
According to me,Yoga is an ancient practice that helps create a sense of union in body, mind, and spirit. The most important benefit of yoga is physical and mental therapy. The aging process. The benefits of yoga are plentiful. Yoga can help make the body more fit and toned, can promote relaxation, and can even help prevent and control many health and emotional problems that can occur with age. Yoga breathing increases the body’s circulation, can help prevent respiratory ailments, and cleanse the air passages. For more information visit this site Yoga therapy
