Discovering Yoga, I stumbled upon Patanjali's quote stating dormant forces awaken you to be a better version of yourself. This resonated with me, driving me to apply it to my life.
For one, the act of stretching and breathing deeply during a Yoga session opens up the airways and allows more oxygen to reach the brain. This is hugely beneficial, as oxygen is essentially the lifeblood that feeds our brain cells and keeps our entire body functioning properly. By increasing the amount of oxygen that reaches our brain cells through regular Yoga practice, we can improve the functioning of our entire body system.
However, the benefits of Yoga go far beyond just increased oxygenation. By releasing tension and allowing energy to flow through the body freely, Yoga can provide an energizing and revitalizing experience that leaves practitioners feeling more vital and connected with life. Regular practice can also lead to a toned physique and improved athletic performance, as well as increased strength in the muscles and better health across the board.
One of the most remarkable things about Yoga is that it is accessible to everyone, regardless of age or level of physical fitness. For those dealing with age-related stiffness or other physical limitations, Yoga can be particularly beneficial. In many cases, it has been shown to help lengthen muscle connective tissue, reducing stiffness and improving overall flexibility.
Given all of these benefits, it is perhaps no surprise that alternative medicine practitioners and even the wider medical community have begun to take notice of the transformative power of Yoga. For anyone seeking to improve their overall health and wellbeing, it is a practice that is definitely worth exploring.
