Yoga is one of the most enjoyable ways to take time for yourself in the fast pace of modern life. You can find the opportunity to relax both physically and spiritually with yoga practices. Providing a holistic experience in this respect, yoga also provides the opportunity to take a short break from life and focus on the inner world of the individual. For this very reason, Global Wellness Day, celebrated every year on the second Saturday of June, can be a great opportunity to focus on yoga practices that will be good for your body and soul. So, let's take a closer look at the benefits of yoga.
Yoga is an ancient discipline that aims to balance body, mind and soul, dating back to 5000 BC. Yoga, which literally means "unity and integrity", is thought to have emerged in India. Yoga basically aims to strengthen the connection between the mind and the body. Various poses and breathing techniques are used to strengthen this connection. The classical teachings of yoga include the eight-step system, also known as Ashtanga Yoga. It is recommended that people who would like to continue their yoga practice holistically adopt these 8 stages and apply them in every aspect of their lives.
Yoga is not just an exercise routine but a lifelong development journey that supports the development of the body, mind and inner awareness. The steps that make up this journey are as follows:
It is possible to say that yoga provides many physical and mental benefits. Some of these benefits can be detailed as follows:
One of the most important known benefits of yoga is that it helps reduce stress levels. Thanks to yoga, which helps minimize the negative situations that anxiety and stress can cause, you can cope with stress more effectively. You can calm your nervous system and achieve a calmer state of mind with the breathing exercises in yoga practices.
During yoga, you need to stay still in some positions for minutes or do the movements by focusing on your breath. If you do yoga regularly, you can improve your focusing skills. In this way, you can concentrate on the tasks that you perform during the day more easily and in a shorter time.
The movements in yoga practices help your muscles to lengthen and increase the flexibility of your muscles. You can strengthen your muscles and increase your physical performance by doing yoga regularly. In addition, you can feel more energetic throughout the day and do your daily activities more comfortably with a short yoga session in the morning.
Today, the increase in the hours that are spent at the desk and the prevalence of a sedentary lifestyle can cause posture disorders in many people. Yoga practices help improve posture disorders and maintain spinal alignment. In addition, doing yoga supports the relief of back and waist pain.
If you are new to yoga, it might be beneficial to get help from private instructors. Otherwise, a reverse movement or a wrong pose can cause unwanted injuries. In that case, you can participate in various activities and workshops that are suitable for beginners. Working with expert yoga instructors in the field allows you to learn the right techniques and inspires your yoga journey, deepening your perspective.
