Benefits of Yoga

ASANAS (POSTURES)

• Each muscle is gently stretched and contracted and joints encourage of move more feely
• Improved posture, vitality and stamina
• Asanas affect specific areas of the body – toning muscles, joints, internal organs and the nervous system
• Asanas bring increased control of body functions
• Asanas free the body from tension – excess tension around muscles and joints can cause headaches, stomach ulcers, back pain

RELAXATION

• Release muscular tension
• Limit the effect of distracting sensory information (through sight, sound and smell)
• Calms the emotions
• Give peace of mind

BREATHING

• Use of breath to control anxiety and panic attacks and increase confidence and feelings of well being
• Deepen breathing to help to increase vitality and health
• Deepen breathing to help to alleviate problems of asthma, bronchitis, hypertension and heart conditions

REMINDERS

• Yoga is non-competitive. Remember that your body is different from that of the person on the mat next to you or the person in the picture
• Listen to your body. Do not overstretch
• Relax into the postures. Do not strain
• Appreciate that your performance may vary and a posture which you find easy one day may seem more difficult the next
• Try to use abdominal breathing to help you into the postures, breathing out when bending forward and in when bending backwards. Always breathe in and out through the nostrils and never through the mouth, allowing the abdominal muscles to slightly rise up on an ‘in’ breath and be gently drawn in towards the spine on an ‘out’ breath
• Always use warm-up exercises before attempting any posture
• Yoga exercises should only be performed at least 3 – 4 hours after a main meal or 1 – 2 hours after a snack. Liquids can be taken at any time
• Relax between postures lying on the back, lying on the front, standing or in the pose of a child. Most of all ENJOY.
