4 Secret Benefits of Yoga
4 Secret Benefits of Yoga - There are many physical benefits of yoga from regular
yoga practice, for example, increased flexibility, and core strength etc.
However, non-physical benefits are not well-documented, but there are still
many benefits. Some of the non-physical benefits of doing yoga regularly are
outlined below.
1. Increased mood and increased satisfaction
The study was conducted for 12 weeks and compared
groups who did walking activities compared to a set of participants who
practiced yoga regularly, finding higher GABA levels in the yoga group. Low
levels of GABA have been associated with anxiety and depression.
2. Improve concentration and focus
Yoga has been shown to increase a person's ability to
focus and concentrate. In some people it is found that the ability to
concentrate and focus after doing yoga exercises. The researchers compared yoga
groups with groups that had done routine exercises in the gym and found a gym
group, when asked to do a task, lacking focus.
There is no definite answer why this can happen.
However, the researchers point to the fact that yoga increases your
self-awareness and leads to a less anxious state where cognitive function can
be improved.
3. Improve mind / body connection
Yoga has long been shown to improve the relationship
between mind and body, especially through the use of certain breathing poses
and techniques. Certain poses and breathing techniques have been shown to
increase blood flow to the brain and the entire nervous system.
The 'conversation' that your body does between mental
and physical can be improved by various types of movements and sports. Yoga is
very good for this purpose because it encourages movement to be synchronized
with breathing arrangements. In the end, yoga is about the unity of mind and
body, with them being two sides of the same coin.
4. Improve self-knowledge
Self-awareness or self-knowledge is encouraged by
many natural psychotherapists and healers. Those who seek this must be warned
that it is not simple. However, yoga can realize this awareness and the results
are very good. Once this is achieved, life becomes a richer experience, with a
view of life and a general positive attitude that allows yoga practitioners to
experience physical sensations that are usually not felt within normal limits
of consciousness.
Feelings that are not possessed by words or thoughts
can become revelations, which lead to subtle changes in mind and spirit. By
learning to ignore mind chat while strengthening your body, you can unlock the
secrets of self-knowledge.
The above are just a few examples, the tip of the
iceberg so that it can be said to be a non-physical benefit and overall yoga.
Yoga is truly extraordinary, start today!
