Yoga Assures Flexibility and Maintains Our Brain Functions
When the movement of any part of your body gets limited due to any reason, the body naturally recoups by using other muscles. It may not sound like a bad thing. However, later in life, it starts affecting other body parts. If you continue in that condition for more time, the limitations start to cause actual damage.
Here are some ways in which yoga improves your health:
1. Perfecting Your Body Posture
Our head is like a bowl. It is heavy, big and round. When it is directly balance over the straight spine, it takes a lot less work for your back muscles and neck to support it. A poor body posture can cause a lot of joint and muscle problems. Regular yoga can prevent this.
2. Yoga Ups Your Heart Rate
You can mitigate your depression and lower the risk of heart attack by regularly getting your heart rate into aerobic range. Even though not all the yoga is aerobic, if you do it with vigor or take Ashtanga classes, it can up your heart rate in the aerobic range.
3. Gives Flexibility to the Body
Yoga postures help in coordinating the movements with holding to strengthen and stretch all the body parts while giving more flexibility to the joints and improving the mobility.
4. Sharpens Your Mind and Boosts the Blood Flow
Even though all the physical activities help in boosting the flow of blood to the brain, yoga makes us more focused and sharpens our mind to be in the moment.
