Why does Yoga provide so many benefits for your mental and physical health?
Starting with increasing the flexibility of your body, strengthening and toning muscles, as well as improving respiration, energy and vitality, the list of health benefits is very long. One of the best things is, Yoga is truly for everybody! There are so many different types of Yoga, which all vary in intensity and duration, pretty much anybody will find ‘their matching Yoga.’
However, one of the very impressive facts is that doing Yoga over years won’t only protect you from injuries and maintain a balanced metabolism, but it also gives people a better quality of life even at old age. One of the known over 90-year-old Yoga teachers, Tao Porchon-Lynch, has a very simple way to explain where her motivation and power comes from: “The breath of life is right within us, nothing is impossible.” Tao is pure sunshine and teaches people from all over the world through her Yoga classes, books, workshops and retreats of the proven benefits of feeling young and living a healthy life.
Yoga also offers several mental health benefits. The practice of steady breathing and meditational aspects help to reduce and control stress, as well as generally improve mental well-being. The idea is to create a calm and clear mind, center the attention into the present moment, and become aware of the body. This can help to detect physical problems at an early stage and allow for early preventive actions to treat them.
So, when is the right time to start Yoga? NOW. Truly, it is always the right time to start, as this will be the beginning of a journey towards a more vibrant, happy, vital and healthy life. Take a look at ‘Inhale Yoga Ecuador Tour’ and maybe the powerful, volcanic Andes and equator sunshine will be your perfect start towards a newer, better and stronger you.
Namaste…
