Yoga for health on the inside and out
Yoga
If you want to be healthy both on the inside and the outside, one of the most important things you can do for you body and overall health is to exercise! One popular form of exercise and mediation that has been introduced us in the United States in recent years is YOGA. Yoga is an exercise and a form of meditation that helps us to reduce stress and offers many additional benefits. From a physical standpoint, yoga focuses on stretching our muscles and controlling our breathing.
Yoga originated in India long before we were born and was introduced to the West around the 1960’s. Now, in the U.S. alone, you can find a yoga studio in just about every major city in country. So why is yoga so beneficial to us?
According to, Kate Kill, Director of the Himalayan Institute of Pittsburgh, “On a physical level yoga improves balance, strength and flexibility and on an energetic level it restores the nervous system…”. Yoga also, according to Kill, can help to increase confidence and offers a way for you to really get to know yourself.
And let’s not forget, yoga can be fun! Each yoga session is comprised of a series of yoga poses which have their own individual benefit. Some popular yoga poses include “down-dog, “tree pose” and “child’s pose”.
So if you feel like trying out a new exercise this summer, try yoga!
Here’s to health on the inside and out!
