Here are the main benefits of yoga:

 

Strength

Some styles of yoga are very physical. Practicing one of these styles will help you improve muscle tone. The standing poses build strength in your hamstrings, quadriceps, and abs. It also strengths the lower back.

 

Better Posture

When you're stronger and more flexible, your posture improves. Yoga also helps your body awareness.

 

Breathing Benefits

Yoga usually involves paying attention to breath, which can help you relax.

 

No Stress

You may feel less stressed and more relaxed after doing some yoga. Some yoga styles use meditation techniques that help calm the mind.

 

Good for your heart

Yoga has long been known to lower blood pressure and slow the heart rate. A slower heart rate can benefit people with high blood pressure or heart disease. Yoga is also linked with better immune system functions.
