Friday, May 2nd, 2008Benefits of yoga by Navtej Kohli.
Being a doctor myself I cannot afford to overlook the benefits of yoga for a healthy mind and body. Yoga has graduated from merely a hobby to a way of life for many. People from all walks of life are practicing and enjoying yoga equally.
I must thank yoga if ever do I get a chance. It has helped me much more than just being physically fit. What keeps me motivated to stick to yoga and continue practicing is its calming influence on my mind and soul. Once you will start practicing yoga you will notice instant changes in yourself.
Many studies too supported psychological benefits of yoga, which are ultimately related to physical benefits. Some of the most profound benefits of yoga are stress management, improving stamina, confronting anxiety, expanding consciousness and augmenting immunity.
Last week at work was really stressful for me. But thanks to yoga that rejuvenated my mind body and spirit. We all know that mind and body goes hand in hand. Studies have shown that people who practice yoga share a better optimism, better awareness and alertness and even appreciation for one’s surroundings.
Yoga is a form of exercise and it’s this form of activity provides great benefits psychologically. It simultaneously works on your inner and outer beauty.
Even the spiritual benefits of yoga are immeasurable. It helps you to focus and, thereby turn away your mind from disturbing thoughts. Yoga is a great way to achieve that so called unexplored higher level of consciousness.
With such enormous benefits, I just can’t resist practicing yoga. For me it has become a norm now. So you too don’t miss your chance at a healthy life. Find yourself a yoga school today!
