Yoga in Modern life

 Hello all busy scrollers!

Welcome to my blog of Fitness Yogmantra and let's have a glance at what's interesting...

In this blog we will look into an old discipline that modern age will forever be indebted to ancient times.

"In the practice of Yoga one can emphasize the body, the mind or the self and hence the effort can never be fruitless" ~Tirumalai Krishnamacharya

If you've done your "downward dog" yoga pose today, you're probably feeling more relaxed regardless of your level of yoga expertise, if you're practicing regularly, you can feel better from head to toe.

Modern life comfortingly attracts us. We suffer from hypertension, obesity and cardiac issues to make our lives easy and relaxed. Our nation, however, has high-tech medical facilities, but we continue to lead an unhealthy, unstable and stressful life. Yoga can bring peace to the mind, soul and body in this state.

The science of yoga is the ray of hope which illuminates our path with equanimity, peace, and well-being in the midst of modern atrocities.

Let's look into some of the facts about Yoga that does to our body, mind and soul...

 1. Improved balance

It is one of the most significant advantages of yoga as you grow older. Poses where you are balanced on one leg and inversions are perfect ways to develop the core strength that holds you upright for more experienced students.

 

2. Can decrease stress

Yoga is known for its ability to ease stress and promote relaxation.

Infact, multiple studies have shown that it can decrease the secretion of cortisol, the primary stress hormone.

 3. Increase Muscle Tone and Definition

You can expect to see increased muscle tone. Yoga helps shape long, lean muscles in your legs, arms, back and abdomen. 

4. Teaches better breathing

Yoga breathing exercises, called ’Pranayama’, focus our attention on breathing and teach us how to take deeper breaths, which benefits the entire body.

 5. Fosters Mental Calmness

Yoga also introduces you to meditation techniques, such as how to focus on your breath and disengage from your thoughts.

 

6. Boosts self confidence

Doing yoga improves your mind-body connection, giving you a better awareness of your own body.

 7. Prevents Back Pain

Increased flexibility and strength can help prevent the causes of back pain. 

Many people who have back pain spend a lot of time sitting at a computer or driving a car, which causes tightness throughout the body and spinal compression.

 8. Supports Joint Health

People with arthritis often see a marked improvement in their pain and mobility with regular gentle yoga practice.

Let the science of yoga be your true companion in modern life directing you towards absolute bliss and well-being.
