Benefits of Yoga: Mind, Body, and Soul

Yoga has many benefits that can relate to everyone. Yoga encourages health and wellness as well as strength and flexibility.

Some benefits of yoga include:

  • Mental endurance and physical stamina are tested through holding postures for extended breaths.
  • Mental illness such as ADHD, depression and anxiety because yoga aids in mental clarity.
  • Arm and shoulder strength is multiplied as you use your own body weight for resistance.
  • Lats and other back muscles begin to support the spine better than before.
  • Abdominals and obliques are refined and sharpened through building core muscles.
  • Poor and average posture begins to correct itself over time.
  • Hip flexors are stretched and rebuilt.
  • Glutes, quads, hamstrings, and calves are tightened and lengthened where they need to be.
