Over the past few years, yoga has firmly established itself as the most popular form of fitness. Such popularity can be explained by a combination of various factors, the main of which is the provision of gentle but effective physical activity of the body. And although this ancient Indian practice has almost completely lost its spiritual component, many people who have chosen yoga as a fitness destination for themselves report an improvement in their psycho-emotional state. We will talk about the benefits of yoga in today's blog of Your Space .
Benefits of yoga that distinguish this ancient practice from other areas of fitness include:
- The almost complete absence of medical contraindications makes yoga accessible to the public. Asanas can be performed by people of any age and gender, as well as pregnant women and children, who are usually contraindicated for intense physical activity.
- During such training, you can develop the main muscle groups. The uniqueness of yoga lies in the fact that it combines the two elements of static power load and stretching.
- In addition to strengthening the muscles, yoga exercises have a complex beneficial effect on the body.
- You don't have to attend a group class with a trainer to practice asanas. It is quite possible to master the simplest yoga poses on your own.
- You can train almost anywhere and at any convenient time.
- There is no need to buy additional sports equipment, except for a special rubber mat for training on the floor or outside.
- You don't need to have a high level of physical fitness or special sports skills to start taking lessons. Even people farthest from fitness and sports can learn yoga from scratch.
Meditative exercises in combination with breathing exercises and yoga positions help to relax, relieve muscle tension, improve the perception of the surrounding reality and achieve harmony of mind and body.
