Breathing <strong>Advantages</strong><br />
While performing the asanas <strong>of</strong> yoga, you are required to pay attention to your breathing and feel the effect <strong>of</strong><br />

A study showed that yoga helped individuals by enhancing their flexibility up to 35 percent after eight weeks <strong>of</strong><br />
practice. This is due to the poses that requires stretching <strong>of</strong> muscles and so improves movement and reduces<br />
stiffness.<br />

The relaxation effects <strong>of</strong> yoga include reducing blood pressure and slowing down heart rate. <strong>Yoga</strong> may also be<br />
a factor that reduces bad cholesterol levels and improves the immune system. These benefits should encourage<br />
people at risk <strong>of</strong> getting a heart disease.<br />
Strengthens You<br />
<strong>Yoga</strong> poses are not just designated for relaxation; some styles known as ashtanga can be used for toning<br />
muscles. Upper-body strength can be boosted with poses like the plank, downward dog and upward dog. While<br />
the abs, hanstrings and quadriceps can be boosted with the standing poses.<br />
Improves Your Posture<br />
With more strength, flexibility and body awareness, your posture improves drastically. After practicing yoga, you<br />
will easily stand and sit tall without slumping or slouching.<br />
Clears Your Mind<br />
The meditation and focused breathing parts <strong>of</strong> yoga helps in calming the mind and thus helping you forget about<br />
your stresses. The overall advantages <strong>of</strong> practicing yoga will make you a more relaxed, focused individual with<br />
