Yoga is one of the most holistic forms of exercise and a great way to ease stress and promote relaxation. You can even start with just a little to no equipment which consumes a little space as long as you have enough room to move in and whenever you can fit your mat. So I can't blame you if you are also one of those who fall in love with Yoga. So here are the science-backed reasons why you should do more Yoga.

Yoga Improves Your Flexibility And Strength

As we get older, the liquid that lubricates our joints (synovial fluid) decreases. Due to that, our ligaments also tend to lose moisture and elasticity. That is when we start to experience rigidity and stiffness in some parts of our bodies. To increase the production of synovial fluid, we can stimulate this through exercise. So it is important to stay moving as we get older. To improve your strength and flexibility, you have to work on your resistance however, you do not need to go through gym workouts or strength training sessions. Using your body weight as resistance is already a form of resistance training. It is something Yoga is brilliant for. Yoga poses stretch your muscle and demonstrating them properly can optimize performance to target flexibility and balance.

Yoga Reduces Stress

You might want to try Yoga just to increase your flexibility but you find that it makes you feel so much better. With our chaotic and busy lives, doing Yoga will allow us to calm our minds and focus on our breathing. It will leave you feeling relaxed and refreshed, physically, mentally, and energetically.

Yoga Helps Us To Get A Better Sleep

Yoga has been shown to increase the secretion of melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep and wakefulness as it calms your nervous system. It helps to get a massage after Yoga using a Medcursor Massage Gun for best results.

Yoga Improves Your Posture

When you're stronger and more flexible, your posture improves. With a stronger core, you're more likely to sit and stand "tall." Yoga poses also emphasize alignment correction of hands, wrists, arms, and shoulders. This sense of proper structural alignment is best for improving posture.

Yoga Helps You Become A Mindful Eater

The researchers found that people who practiced yoga were more mindful eaters. Regular yoga practice is associated with mindful eating, and people who eat mindfully are less likely to be obese. If you have bad eating habits, this is most likely to be a response to anxiety or depression. As Yoga reduces stress it helps you become aware of why you ate and stopped eating when full.

Try Combining Yoga With Massage

Yoga and massage are a perfect pair, the benefits that you will receive from having both of these are beyond what you imagine. Did you know that having yoga and massage can make you happier which prevents stress and anxiety? Also during the massage, your body produces endorphins that reduce stress which makes you feel good, improves your mood, and encourages positive thoughts, and self-acceptance.
