Yoga has many benefits, and has benefited many people.

Here are some of the benefits of yoga:

Strength and Flexibility – yoga poses strengthen and stretch muscles and ligaments. They also encourage a full range of movement from our joints.

Posture and Grace – the alignment of our musculoskeletal system that occurs during accurate asana work corrects bad postural habits, helping us move more efficiently and gracefully.

Poise and Balance – balance is something that can improve through practice! The practice of certain yoga asanas improves our balance, poise and steadiness, helping us move better, and leaving us less vulnerable to injury through falling as we get older.

Calmness and mental clarity – during yoga practice a great deal of concentration is required on the alignment of the body and control of the breath. This concentration stills the fluctuations of the mind, and guides the practitioner towards a state of being in the present moment – fully focussed on the detailed work they are striving towards with their body. This ability to be ‘in the present’ develops with continued practice and can make life outside of yoga practice less distracted and more joyful.

Cleansing and regulation of bodily systems – practicing a range of yoga asanas has a profound effect on the lymphatic, immune, digestive, reproductive, respiratory and endocrine systems, ensuring that they function efficiently. Improved health and resistance to disease can be achieved by continued practice. This is a benefit of yoga that is starting to be recognised by conventional medical science.
