Benefits of Yoga

There are so many amazing benefits to yoga, it’s almost easier to list what a yoga practice doesn’t benefit than what it does. Stepping onto the mat even once a week can lower cortisol levels, resulting in decreased stress, anxiety, and depression. Yoga improves strength, balance, and flexibility, stimulates the circulatory system, supports spinal health, and boosts immunity. Yoga practitioners can find it easier to focus, report feeling happier, and experience an improved quality of daily life. Yoga’s benefits also extend into the night, helping you fall into a more restful sleep more quickly. With a regular practice, you may feel a boost in self-esteem, inner strength, and overall well-being. All these benefits aside, we encourage you to check-in after your practice and simply ask yourself: How do I feel? The proof is in the pudding.
