No back pain and stiffness
Various medical researchers have shown that regularly practicing yoga can actually be as or even more effective than medications in the treatment of back pain and stiffness. I think it would be wonderful to move around without back pain.
Better butt
Who does not want a get round butt and whose butt does not look instantly better even by just putting yoga pants on? Practicing yoga will give you a great butt… trust me!
Heart start
If you regularly get your heart rate into the aerobic range, you will lower the risk of heart attack and can fight depression. While not all yoga is aerobic, if you do it vigorously or take classes, it can boost your heart rate into the aerobic range. But even yoga exercises that do not get your heart rate up that high can improve cardiovascular conditioning. Studies have found that practicing yoga increases endurance, lowers the resting heart rate and can improve your maximum uptake of oxygen during workout—all reflections of improved aerobic conditioning. One study found that people who were taught only pranayama could do more workouts with less oxygen.
Lymph lesson
When you stretch and contract muscles, move organs around, and come in and out of yoga postures, you increase the drainage of a viscous fluid rich in immune cells also known as lymph. Yoga helps the lymphatic system destroy cancerous cells, fight infection and dispose of the toxic waste products of cellular functioning.
Normalizes blood pressure
if you have got high blood pressure, you will benefit from yoga. Two different studies of people with hypertension compared the effects of corpse pose- savasana with simply lying on a couch. After 3 months, this pose was associated with a 25-point drop in the top number of blood pressure (systolic) and a 16-point drop in the bottom number of blood pressure (diastolic) and the higher the initial blood pressure was, the bigger was the drop.
Happy hour
Are you feeling sad? Sit in Lotus or rise up into a backbend. While it is not as simple as that, one study found that a regular yoga practice releases depression and lids to a significant increase in serotonin levels and a decrease in the levels of monoamine oxidase (an enzyme that breaks down neurotransmitters) and cortisol. At one university researchers found that in people, who mediate constantly, the left prefrontal cortex shows heightened activity, a finding which has been correlated with better immune function and greater levels of happiness. More dramatic left-sided activation was found in devoted, long-term practitioners.
