“Yoga adds years to your life, and life to your years.”
The Best of Yoga
Yoga is one of the best practices to reduce stress, increase self-confidence and self-esteem. Not only is yoga a great way to physically exercise the body, it is also a technique used to become aware of body sensations, feelings, and thoughts while learning to tolerate them. In other words, yoga is a tool used by the practitioner to be fully present and help reduce the patterns of dissociation often observed by individuals who have suffered trauma or mental health disorders.
Yoga offers a full movement system to regain and reconnect back to the body. Moreover, it involves the asanas (yoga postures), pranayama (breathwork), and the meditative mind to help you accomplish the goal of uniting the mind, body, and spirit. Yoga improves cognitive and executive functions such as knowledge acquisition, memory, learning, attention, decision-making, reasoning, and language abilities. Therefore, yoga gives the brain an edge making it sharper by regulating the mood, thereby decreasing anxiety and depression
