10 REASONS TO TRY YOGA FOR LIFE!

 

1. YOGA FOR STRESS RELIEF: Yoga reduces the physical effects of stress on the body. By encouraging relaxation, yoga helps to lower the levels of stress hormone cortisol. Related benefits include lowering blood pressure and heart rate, improving digestion and boosting the immune system as well as easing symptoms of conditions such as anxiety, depression, fatigue, asthma and insomnia.

 

2. YOGA FOR PAIN RELIEF: Yoga can ease pain. Studies have demonstrated that practicing yoga asanas (postures), meditation or a combination of the two, reduced pain for people with conditions, such as cancer, multiple sclerosis, auto-immune diseases and hypertension as well as arthritis, back and neck pain and other chronic conditions. Some practitioners report that even emotional pain can be eased through their practice of yoga.

 

3. YOGA FOR BETTER BREATHING: Yoga teaches people to take slower, deeper breaths. This helps to improve lung function, trigger the body’s relation responses and increase the amount of oxygen available to the body.

 

4. YOGA FOR FLEXIBILITY: Yoga helps to improve flexibility and mobility, increasing the range of movement and reducing aches and pains. Many people can’t touch their toes during their first yoga class. Gradually they begin to use the correct muscles. Over time, the ligaments, tendons and muscles lengthen, increasing elasticity, making more poses possible. Yoga also helps to improve body alignment resulting in better posture and helping to  relieve back, neck, joint and muscles problems.

 

5. YOGA FOR INCREASED STRENGTH: Yoga poses use every muscle in the body, helping to increase strength literally from head to toe. And, while these postures strengthen the body they also provide an additional benefit of helping to relieve muscular tension.

 

6. YOGA FOR WEIGHT MANAGEMENT: Yoga can aid weight control efforts by reducing the cortisol levels as well as burning excess calories and reducing stress. Yoga also encourages healthy eating habits and provides a heightened sense of well being and self esteem.

 

7. YOGA FOR IMPROVED CIRCULATION: Yoga helps to improve circulation and as a result of various postures, more efficiently moves oxygenated blood to the body’s cells.

8. YOGA FOR CARDIOVASCULAR CONDITIONING: Even gentle yoga practice can provide cardiovascular benefits by lowering resting heart rate, increasing endurance and improving oxygen uptake during exercise.

 

9. YOGA FOR FOCUSING ON THE PRESENT: Yoga helps us to focus on the present, to become more aware and to help create mind-body health. It opens the way to improved concentration, coordination, reaction time and memory.

 

10. YOGA FOR INNER PEACE: The meditative aspects of yoga help many to reach a deeper, more spiritual and more satisfying place in their lives. Many who begin practice for other reasons have reported this to be the key reason that yoga has become an essential part of their lives.

Miracles: A Growing Collection of Quotations

miracles

“Miracles come from your love. If you are willing to open your heart, to love yourself and others, life will always be a miracle.

The degree to which you are open and loving is the degree to which miracles come your way.

Sometimes your mind stands in the way of miracles.

The mind is a good tool for planning, setting goals, and visualizing. To … create miracles … open your heart. Trust and believe in yourself, love others, and demonstrate that love with every action, every day.

Miracles are unexpected occurrences that bring you far more than you expect. They are synchronistic events that usually occur when you let go of attachment and trust your inner guidance.

Miracles are the result of reaching inward to your soul.”
