Yoga
Finding balance, strength & sanity in cray-cray 🤯 times
Some of the many benefits of yoga include improved flexibility, strength, and mental health. It could also
help relieve
stress, inflammation, and anxiety.
While modern media and advertising may have us think that yoga is all about physical poses, the entirety of
yoga
includes a wide range of contemplative and self-disciplinary practices, such as meditation, chanting,
mantra, prayer,
breath work, ritual, and even selfless action.
The word “yoga” comes from the root word “yuj,” which means “to yoke” or “to bind.” The word itself has
numerous
meanings, from an astrological conjunction to matrimony, with the underlying theme being
connection.
Yoga asana is the physical practice and postures of yoga.
The scientific research into yoga’s benefits is still somewhat preliminary, but much of the evidence so far
supports what practitioners seem to have known for millennia:
Yoga is incredibly beneficial to our overall well-being.
