The Benefits of Practicing Yoga


Yoga has been being practiced for 5,000 years. About 11 million Americans practice this old tradition, and benefit very deeply from it. Say you have never tried yoga, it is something you should try, because it can't hurt not trying.


One of the best benefits of yoga is all health related. If you practice yoga weekly, you will enhance your breathing, flexibility, strength and posture. Yoga has many different styles, and each different variation of yoga can help in a different way. Strength wise, yoga can build strength in your core, hamstring and quadriceps. Yoga requires a lot of breathing, so this enhances relaxation in your body and mind. 
Yoga can help clear your mind as well. Even if you've only done one class of yoga, you will feel less stressed. Yoga provides relief on the mind, and will help you feel unstressed about anything. After a yoga class, you will feel happier, and more concentrated. Recent studies have shown that yoga has boost the hormone oxytocin, which makes you happier.


After trying yoga, some people just hate it. Whether or not you are one of those people who hates yoga, you can't deny that it is not good for you. If you have never tried yoga, why wouldn't you try, it can't hurt.
