The benefits of Yoga
Having good flexibility helps to maintain the body’s youthfulness.
- Les Asanas : give strength to the physical body. While increasing flexibility and circulation, the asanas also work to maintain the joints, ligaments, tendons and muscles. Holding postures for a long period of time massages the internal organs and works on the deeper, more subtle areas.
- Le pranayama is breath control. Prana is a sanskrit word meaning : breath of life.
Breathing exercices promote movement in the body and reenergise the muscles. They help to reduce fatigue and increase oxygen supply, and revitalise the body and mind.
- Relaxation works on three levels: physical, mental and spirituel.
Deep relaxation naturally reenergises the body and mind. The Savasana posture has an important role in yoga, as it regulates rhythm of session by making breaks. It then concludes the session with a moment of deep relaxation which lets the body soak up the benefits of asanas.
