1 One of the most amazing benefits of practicing yoga is the positive impact it has on your digestive health. Turns out, all those twists and turns help to improve the process of elimination, improving your overall health.
2 Another benefit of yoga practice is the ongoing process of detoxification. In the style of yoga I teach, a lot of emphasis is put on the breath. With each inhalation you are nourishing your body, with each exhalation your body is eliminating toxins. For more examples on the process of detoxification, refer back to number one!
3 Practicing yoga helps to improve your circulation. Do you suffer from varicose veins, swollen feet or ankles, or general sluggishness? In yoga you practice something called inversions which reverses the effect of gravity on the body and promotes better circulation.
4 Yoga also helps to create emotional balance. The practice of yoga has such a profound effect on the central nervous system, the endocrine system and the brain, that you will notice an overall improvement in your mood.
5 And last on this list, which is only the tip of the iceberg, improved respiratory health. Again, with so much of the emphasis places on breathing, the lungs experience major rewards from practicing yoga. The benefits range from increased lung capacity to more efficient oxygen/carbon dioxide exchange.
