Using Yoga To Improve Your Health And Well Being

There are so many new television commercials on gadgets and videos on improving ones health and well being. There is one strong hold on low impact exercise that not only improves your body but also improves your mind. This exercise program is yoga. When one is practicing yoga regularly they begin to sense an improved feeling of well being and postive energy.

The practice of yoga consists of stretches, movements and poses which provides stimulation to many of the joints, ligaments and tendons, some of which are rarely used for any extended period of time. Once the body gets used to this stretching one will begin to see and feel the benefits of increased flexibility to your entire body.

Yoga is also a great way to firm one's body. Through the stretching of the muscles, moving in a slow precise manner and holding the body in certain positions one will experience the benefits of a more toned and firmer body.

Yoga provides massage to all parts of the body including the prostate which rarely gets external stimulation. It has been proven to massage the prostate gland for better prostate health.

The gentle stretching of your muscles and joints when doing yoga maximizes blood flow in your body enabling your body to eliminate toxins, provide oxygen to your body and in turn slows aging.

Because yoga incorporates precise breathing, focus and movements one will also experience many mental health benefits. One can experience better concentration, reduced stress, better sleep and a better more confident well being.

An exercise like yoga through the bending and stretching of the spine builds strength, endurance and lowers the stress hormone that cause aging. The reduction of stress will reduce the acidic conditions within the body and enabling your body to intake more oxygen. Yoga can stimulate the nervous system, providing balance which will help to reduce anxiety and depression.

Yoga when practiced two to three times per week will put your body in a positive healthy state. This in turn puts your mind in a positive healthy state which assists to keep your body looking and feeling good. Yoga provides a continuous loop of positive well being and continual rejuvenation.. You will notice improved posture through a straigher back, elongated hamstrings and an overall feeling of focused energy and a confident state of mind.

So if you are looking to not only live a longer life but also to improve the quality of your life, you should be considering incorporating the exercise of yoga into your exercise routine. An exercise like yoga provides all the benefits of a low impact program, providing the firming and flexibility of the body along with the benefits of the mind, and spiritual connection through the focused concentration and deep breathing, enabling the body and mind to resonate at an optimal level of health.

Once yoga grows in popularity citizens of this planet will enjoy the benefits of this low impact exercise and increase the well being of their mind and bodies allowing them to live longer and more productive lives.
