Yoga invigorates the mind, body, and soul.
AND WHILE MANY FIND the exercise very helpful for a variety of different reasons, yoga is essentially an exercise and exercises come with health benefits. A big benefit of yoga is that it INCREASES FLEXIBILITY in the muscles, which thereby offers people a variety of other benefits to boot. In fact, it’s recommended that people incorporate exercises that increase their flexibility in their routines at an early age.
Yoga is one way to accomplish this ?
So just WHY IS FLEXIBILITY IS IMPORTANT? Here’s a look at six big health benefits of yoga to increase flexibility:
Fewer aches or pains
Exercises like yoga work to loosen muscles that might be tight. This, in turn, leads to fewer aches and pains. Why? It’s because when you practice yoga, you’re not only loosening your muscles but also opening up your hips to improve bone alignment.
This helps reduce things like back pain and muscle tightening
Fewer pulled muscles
It’s common for athletes to stretch before sporting events to prevent pulled muscles, cramping muscles, or muscles from tightening to the point where they can’t play anymore.
But a pulled muscle can happen anywhere, whether you’re doing chores around the house or out for a stroll in your neighborhood.
STRETCHING OUT MUSCLES REGULARLY, as well as in yoga sessions, can loosen your quads and hamstrings, thereby making the chances of you pulling a muscle – no matter what you’re doing – less likely.
Better posture
If aches and pains aren’t resolved, then they’ll likely add to you simply coping with them. And this leads to poor overall posture, which may include hunching, limping, walking gingerly, sitting in only certain positions, and more.
Stretching, practicing yoga and making sure that muscle flexibility is a priority…
…can save you a lot of time and frustration later in life when you can still be as active as you want and don’t have to worry about muscle and joint pain dictating your activities.
Heart health
Yes, being flexible is good for your heart. ✅
HERE’S WHY: Good flexibility is proven to reduce arterial stiffness, which leads to heart disease, strokes, heart attacks, and also potentially life-threatening conditions.
People who show good flexibility also have a lower risk of developing arterial stiffness. It’s often the recommendation of a doctor to get plenty of exercises to help fend off heart issues. Now you know why.
Improved moods
As we told you in the opening, yoga is an exercise to invigorate the mind, body, and soul. And, coincidentally…
…yoga offers a pretty good amount of stretching
Research has shown that people who regularly stretch to improve muscle flexibility find such exercises relaxing – both mentally and physically. So yes, there’s a better likelihood that you’ll walk away from the gym or yoga studio feeling much better than you did when you came in, both from a PHYSICAL AND MENTAL ASPECT.
Improved balance
One of the biggest dangers to senior citizens is their risk of falling and injuring themselves is bigger compared to younger populations. However, one way to reduce this risk is to add flexibility exercises into normal routines, as being more flexible has proven to improve one’s balance.
It’s why you see so many more yoga classes offered in senior citizen centers and assisted living facilities…
…it helps them greatly when it comes to their well being
Flexibility is very important, which a big reason why yoga has become so popular in the U.S.
FLEXIBILITY can help fend off heart issues and can save you a lot of troubles later on in life ?
