Perspective.
Practicing yoga lets you look forward, upside-down, sideways, and with every way you look, you get a new perspective. This filters through to your life off the mat too where you begin to see situations from different points of view.
Fulfillment
It’s no secret there are some challenging postures and if a posture becomes too easy there is always a harder version. The thing is, with practice they do become easier. And the feeling of fulfillment when you manage to rock that pose is just amazing.
Alignment.
One slight adjustment is enough to change your experience in a pose.
Happiness & Energy.
The movement of the body combined with breathwork allows energy to circulate through the entire body, which stimulates the energy centres.
Many studies and research papers show that practicing asana and meditation regularly results in higher serotonin levels (the happiness hormone).
Strength.
Yoga integrates muscle groups to create overall functional strength and endurance. It will activate muscles you never knew you had!
All the benefits.
And there are many! Read about them in this post I wrote for beginners.
