You probably already know that yoga is good for improving flexibility and building muscle strength, but it’s also great for perfecting your posture and protecting your spine! Spinal disks, shock absorbers between the vertebrae, can herniate and compress nerves if they don’t receive enough movement. Forward bend and other moves and twists that are done in yoga help keep these disks supple.
Yoga also increases blood flow, which can help circulation particularly in your hands and feet, and can help lower blood pressure. It’s also believed that yoga can help keep you focused. A big part of yoga is, of course, focusing on your breathing and being in the moment. It can even improve memory, coordination and IQ scores! So yoga can actually make you smarter!
A few other benefits of yoga are that relieves stress, can reduce depression and make you happier! Studies show that yoga can increase your serotonin levels, boosting your mood and leaving you feeling happy, happy, happy!
