      There Are Bottom Line Benefits to Doing Yoga

When you think of doing yoga, most people will think of just the physical positions or postures. Yoga also encompasses breathing exercises and meditation. It’s the impact of doing all three combined that is scientifically proving that yoga provides you with great benefits.

I personally have been doing yoga, breathing and meditation for almost 50 years, so I’ve seen and experienced the benefits of having greater flexibility, strength and stamina.

Besides these kinds of benefits, the researchers have confirmed many others using imaging technology. They’ve found yoga improves a person’s attention span and their mental processing speed. It also lowers the person’s stress level, reduces body image dissatisfaction and anxiety.

In examining the brains of yoga practitioners with the imaging technology, the researchers also found that the yoga practitioners brains have thicker cortexes, greater gray matter volume and increased density in several regions of the brain, including the frontal, limbic, temporal, occipital and cerebellar regions of the brain. Finally, doing yoga stops the normal decline in total grey matter volume that occurs with age.

So…take advantage of with your being confined at home and go to Youtube.com to find a bunch of yoga videos that you can try out. Give it a couple of weeks of doing it every day or every other day for two weeks before you make a decision whether to continue or not. I know you’ll be glad you did!
