More health benefits of yoga

#5 from the "Health Benefits of Yoga"....

Flexibility: Yoga helps to improve flexibility and mobility, increasing range of movement and reducing aches and pains.

Most people are aware of the "stretching" that is done in a yoga practice. Many folks in our western culture fail to realize however, that a yoga practice can also promote strength...
which brings us to #6 on the health benefits list.....

Increased Strength: Yoga asanas (postures) use every muscle in the body, helping to increase strength literally from head to toe.

Whatever it is that brought you to yoga.....may you find flexibility and increased strength in both body and mind.

Peace,
Karen
