Yoga can be a very positive addition to your fitness and heath experience. With its mindful movements and poses it can benefit the body and mind in many different ways.
Yoga can help maintain a range of movement in joints and also return muscles back to their optimal flexibility. Let’s not forget it can also improve balance, strengthen stabilising muscles which encourages the strength of joints. If you’re someone who regularly works out, yoga is also great to help drain your lymphatic system which helps the body get rid of all of the toxins that are produced after exercise.
As well as physical benefits, research has also shown that yoga also has many mental health benefits which can be seen through the practice of mindfulness combined with awareness of deep, controlled breathing. This practice can help reduce stress, lift mood, manage anxieties and create a positive mindset.
Yoga makes a great complimentary training method to your martial arts, strength or cardio training.
