In some way or another, exercising is probably one of your new year’s resolutions. So, why not start with yoga? There are many benefits to practicing yoga, such as increased flexibility, muscle strength, and tone; improved breathing, energy, and vitality; cardio and circulatory health; and weight reduction. In fact, new research published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology found that yoga can be as beneficial to weight loss and lowering blood pressure as exercises such as cycling or brisk walking are.
Along with physical benefits, yoga is beneficial for improving mental health. It has also been known to reduce stress, enhance sleep, and improve mental well-being.
So, if you have a goal this year to exercise more, maybe you should give yoga a try. According to Laura Holbrook, “As human beings we seek out experiences that make us feel good. We crave that altered state, whether it be through food, music, or overindulgence in anything. We all have habits, some of which can lead to negative consequences. So the question is … how can we achieve a natural high with positive consequences? Through the practice of yoga breathing and postures we quiet the inner critic and wake up our true authentic voice.”
The use of essential oils while practicing yoga really enhances the benefits of yoga. Learn more about these benefits and how to incorporate essential oils into your yoga routines with the following informational materials:
