Many studies have been done throughout the years that show the positive effects yoga has on our health.
YOGA HAS BEEN PROVEN TO HELP not only with weight management but also with anxiety, postpartum depression, and a variety of other health concerns. While many individuals may not have the money to spend on expensive yoga classes every week, there are various yoga poses one can do at any time to help them get started. ?
It doesn’t matter if one is a beginner or a professional in yoga: it has been shown by frequently doing these simple poses…
one’s health will be positively affected
A study done by the University of Maryland School of Nursing found that those who engaged in yoga at home regularly had better health over the years than those who spent thousands on yoga classes.
The study took a cross-sectional population of over 4300 internet users who said they had at one point or another practiced yoga at home and in yoga classes.?♂️
The subjects were asked to address aspects of their health relating to their physical activity, daily food intake, emotional well-being, social interaction, and other topics.
The survey consisted of sixty-five questions.
The survey concluded that while taking yoga classes helped individuals learn yoga, it did not directly impact their health. Continuing yoga poses at home regularly is what impacted the individuals who were surveyed.
WITH THAT BEING SAID, those who participate in yoga classes must know the importance of doing yoga at home. To fully understand yoga, however, one must have an understanding of the different styles of yoga. There are a variety of different styles…
The most common styles can be done in the comfort of one’s home:
Gentle Yoga
Includes breathing techniques, warm-ups, and basic poses to help with one’s emotional well-being. This type of yoga is probably the easiest at-home style to accomplish, as it deals mostly with meditation and beginner poses.
Yoga Flow
It is more advanced yoga; however, it can still be an easy at-home style to perform. IT FOCUSES ON AEROBICS AND COORDINATION.
Power Yoga
Centers on strength building and takes basic postures to help stimulate one’s emotional and physical well-being.
For those who want to take full advantage of yoga’s health benefits, the following is a simple routine one can do to achieve the benefits associated with each yoga style in the comfort of their home.?
The Mountain Pose
To start with, folks should start with a gentle yoga position such as the mountain pose. One begins by standing tall with one straight leg while bending the other leg up towards their knee.
One should position their hands above their hand and hold the position for three breaths.
This is a great warm-up to start out with
The Downward Dog
This is the next pose that is recommended. While it is another warm-up pose, having individuals get down on all fours like dogs and slowly walking forward while lifting their hips towards the ceiling is a bit more advanced.
The Warrior Pose
An individual will start by standing with their legs spread apart enough to just outside their shoulder’s length with this pose. They then will turn their right foot ninety degrees while turning their left foot slightly.
An individual’s hand should be pointed straight out away from their body?
The Plank Pose
This is a good pose for those WANTING TO BUILD ARM STRENGTH. An individual needs to balance their upper body by placing their hands down in front of them with their lower body stretched out behind them on their tiptoes. By holding this position for a minute, INDIVIDUALS CAN BUILD STRENGTH in their upper body.
Standing Forward Bend
This will strengthen one’s lower body by folding over one’s leg into a forward bend and letting their head and upper body hang over them while slowly straightening their legs.
Garland Pose
INDIVIDUALS CAN ACCOMPLISH this pose by bending their knees and squatting down. While it may sound like a simple task, it is rather difficult for adults to perform.
Seated Forward Bend
This is another pose that may sound simple but is more difficult than one may think. All an individual has to do with this pose is sit down, extend their legs out, and touch their toes.
Keep the pose for five breaths
The Boat Pose
The last pose one can do in their daily routine is the boat pose in which they help strengthen their abdomen and upper thigh muscles. To do this pose, one must sit down with their body vertical and then left their feet up, so their feet are parallel with the ground. Then, one must release their arms forward to position their body to look like a boat.⛵
