Benefits of a Regular Yoga Practice

People often ask my why I choose to do yoga rather than some other form of exercise.  The problem with answering this question is that I could talk for hours on the numerous benefits.  Here are just a few that come to mind today which may inspire you to take up a regular yoga practice and attend my classes in Wilmslow which start on 5th January 2015.:

• It uses your own body weight to strengthen bones and muscles, which means you can do it anywhere without any special equipment.
• Yoga strengthens the core stabilising muscles of the abdomen and back.
• It increases flexibility and balance.
• Yoga improves breathing and lung capacity.
• It improves heart function, reducing blood pressure, easing palpitations.
• Helps to relieve stress.
• Yoga helps to detoxify the body.
• It boosts the immune system.
• Yoga can alleviate insomnia.
• It increases willpower to help fight food cravings.
