September ushers in fresh starts - the onset of fall, the academic year, the NFL, and several others. With so many activities kicking off, it’s no wonder September is also the National Yoga Awareness Month.
As you embrace new changes this September, celebrate National Yoga Awareness Month by incorporating yoga into your lifestyle and enjoying all the benefits it has to offer.
Relax and manage stress
Feeling like life is getting too hectic? Yoga might be just what you need to help you relax and recharge.
Yoga can help you relax after a long day at work, a sporting event, or school. With its various forms of slow actions, slow breathing helps reorient your mind from a stressed state to a more relaxed state.
During yoga practice, you concentrate on breath and transitions between postures, which gradually calms the mind, leaving you feeling relieved and balanced.
Reducing depression and anxiety
One great thing about yoga is that it doesn’t only consist of stretching and physical activities; yoga is a complete way to nurture yourself from head to toe. Studies show that people who indulge in yoga can minimize their levels of depression and anxiety.
Yoga leads to an increased awareness of one’s thoughts and emotions and makes the person learn to embrace them instead of trying to suppress them. Through this, you get a chance to manage negative emotions more healthily.
Improved sleep quality
Having trouble getting a good night’s sleep? You might be surprised to find that yoga can help you get better sleep. Yoga has a naturally soothing quality that reduces tension and stress, making it easier for you to fall asleep and sleep deeply.
Some of them are particularly effective in relieving the stiffness that your body bears in order to facilitate relaxation towards the night.
Regular exercising by adding yoga to your day simply means that you will wake up in the morning to face the day strongly.
Boost flexibility and strength
If you're looking to improve your physical fitness, yoga is an excellent way to increase both flexibility and strength. Unlike traditional workouts, yoga involves a series of poses that stretch and strengthen muscles in a gentle yet effective manner.
Over time, these poses can help you become more flexible, making everyday movements easier and reducing the risk of injury.
Additionally, many yoga poses require you to hold your own body weight, which helps build muscle strength.
