Practicing yoga has direct benefits on the overall well-being of the person, because it not only has positive effects on our mind but also on our body. That is why today we want to talk to you about it and tell you what it is for doing yoga.
What is yoga for?
At the body level, that is to say the physical, doing yoga serves to recharge yourself with energy and be more vital. It also helps increase physical strength, since it works the different muscle groups, which in turn translates into body shaping.
Specifically, it works on the muscles and joints, which is why it serves to work on flexibility and feel more agile and vital.
We must also mention that it serves to prevent chronic diseases while producing improvement in cases of arthritis, asthma and chronic fatigue. This is because it worked directly on the immune, digestive and respiratory system.
At the level of the mind, practicing yoga serves to combat depression, since it generates a state of general well-being, which makes the mind feel calm, lowering the levels of stress and anxiety. It also helps to focus attention, which helps with concentration and greater mental clarity.
Finally, it also increases self-esteem, reinforcing self-confidence.
