Remove stress by starting yoga

Yoga is a great stress reliever for a few reasons. Firstly, a lot of stress comes from when we think about what we have to do next, what tasks do I have to finish, what events are coming up etc etc. Our brains are always so full of what we have to do that we never get to focus on what we’re doing at the moment. Yoga works to fix this by focusing the mind and grounding the spirit. If you’ve ever tried meditation you know exactly what we mean by this. Yoga has many techniques to fight stress like this, Breathing work is deeply integrated into yoga and by controlling our breathing we control our heart rate and our focus. As you progress with your breathwork you will find yourself to be more focused in general. A lot of poses in yoga also function as means to relax and meditate, many of these poses are very demanding and require the utmost focus and attention basically forcing you the student to base yourself on the present.

Yoga is a great way to get back in shape

We’ve explored the mental aspects of yoga but there are so many physical benefits to yoga too. Some yoga is much more focused on breathing and toning rather than highly strenuous exercise which is great for people who have little experience in exercising or suffer from joint pain. Yoga also has forms which are a lot more intensive, one form of yoga is literally called power. These forms offer positions and breathing exercises that really set out to test the body. Breathing is a theme throughout them all and you can expect to burn many calories practising these genres of yoga.

Understand yoga on a more spiritual level with a teacher

Yoga is an ancient tradition that can be traced back for millennia. It has a rich history of spirituality and practising which means there is a lot to learn for new students with the right attitude. An experienced guide can help you explore and find out more about these spiritual elements of yoga. Yoga in this regard is not just a form of exercise but also a mental state of mind. There are many branches of yoga with their own philosophies which guide how all their practitioners should conduct their poses and classes. There are hundreds of books how and countless variations of popular philosophies but the only way to find out which one connects with you most is by finding a guide or tutor who can get to know you and advise which ones may speak to you.
