According to the University of John Hopkins Medicine there are nine benefits to yoga: –

  1. Yoga improves strength, balance and flexibility

  1. Yoga benefits heart health

  1. Yoga relaxes you, to help you sleep better

Research shows that a consistent bedtime yoga routine can help you get in the right mindset and prepare your body to fall asleep and stay asleep.

  1. Yoga can mean more energy and brighter moods

You may feel increased mental and physical energy, a boost in alertness and enthusiasm, and fewer negative feelings after getting into a routine of practicing yoga.

  1. Yoga helps manage stress 

Scientific evidence shows that yoga supports stress management, mental health, mindfulness, healthy eating, weight loss and quality sleep.

  1. Yoga connects you with a supportive community

Participating in yoga classes can ease loneliness and provide an environment for group healing and support. Even during one-on-one sessions loneliness is reduced as one is acknowledged as a unique individual, being listened to and participating in the creation of a personalised yoga play.

  1. Yoga promotes better self-care

Numerous scientific studies show yoga’s benefits in arthritis, osteopenia, balance issues, oncology, women’s health, chronic pain and other specialties.
