5 Concise Health Benefits Of Yoga




1) Improves Your Flexibility

Improved flexibility is one of the first and most obvious benefits of yoga. Also by staying involved with Yoga, candidates will soon start feeling a gradual increase of loosening body joints;  therefore leading you to achieve "impossible" poses that you thought you could not achieve at first. You’ll also probably notice that aches and pains will start to wash away.  Tight hips can strain the knee joint due to incorrect alignment of the thigh and shin bones. Also, tight hamstrings can evolve into the flattening of the spine, which can provoke back pain.




                                    2) Builds Muscle Strength

Strong muscles are not only beneficial when force is required but they also protect us all from conditions like arthritis and lower back pain. And when you build strength through yoga, you balance it with flexibility. If you just went to the gym and lifted weights, you might build strength at the expense of flexibility.

By moving your head a few inches forward and if  hold up you head for approximately 8 to 10 hours a day and it’s no wonder you’re tired. The disadvantages of poor posture can result in upper and lower back pain, neck strain, and causing various muscle and joint problems. As you lean, your body may compensate by flattening the normal inward curves in your neck and lower back. This can cause pain and eventually lead to arthritis of the spine.


4) Protects Your Spine


Spinal disks also knowns as the shock absorbers between the vertebrae that can herniate and compress nerves—crave movement. That’s the only way they get their nutrients. If you have got a well-balanced asana practice with plenty of back bends, forward bends, and twists, you will help keep your disks in great condition.
