5 Lifelong Health Benefits Of Yoga
4. Yoga heals and prevents muscular injuries
Yoga and its postures also include giving and releasing tension to specific muscle groups which have long term benefits such as healing and prevention of muscle injuries. Other exercises may not yield the same health benefits as Yoga because they are often centered around specific movements that don’t allow putting muscles through their full range of motion. All this including weight bearing asanas, if practiced the right way, can increase muscle strength without causing harm or long term muscle tissue damage.
5. Psychological health benefits of Yoga
Besides the physical health benefits of Yoga that we talked about, this ancient discipline also benefits the mind by helping practitioners to reduce stress, anxiety, improve mood and focusing abilities. The focus of movement and breathing has an overall calming effect on the body which yields the above benefits.
