BENEFITS OF YOGA PRACTISE

Improves physical, mental and emotional health

Studies have shown that yoga benefits both physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. These benefits are particularly valuable as we age.

​

Studies have also shown that practising yoga leads to a decrease in depression, stress, anxiety and cortisol levels and improves motivation and positivity.

​

Yoga is a safe and effective way of increasing strength, balance and flexibility. Another benefit is that it can help with weight control, prevention in the development of chronic health issues and improvement in sleep quality.

​

As we age the mobility in the joints reduces, strength and balance decreases and flexibility decreases. All of these increase our risk of developing osteoarthritis, low back pain and other spinal problems as well as the increase risk of falls.

​

By developing a regular yoga practise, you increase muscle mass, improve posture, build strength and improve balance, therefore reducing the risk of falls.
