Yoga is a mystical exercise form that offers many benefits to the body, soul, and mind. Here are just a few:
It’s about you
As with most other exercise forms, yoga isn’t a competition. Yoga is a work in progress. It’s about challenging yourself to reach further or stretch longer, etc.
It’s not all about bends and stretches
Part of yoga is about bending and flexibility. But what needs to be flexible is your mind and how you approach yoga as a discipline.
Use props
The props available in yoga such as straps or blocks do not make you less advanced than others. Using them means you are aware of your body’s limits.
You can take a break
No one will judge you if you assume the Child’s Pose when it becomes intense or if you choose to have a water break.
It’s not always easy
Some of the poses in yoga are hard. Be prepared to fail before you succeed, just like everyone else.
It’s not just about your body
Yoga creates a sense of inner peace and mindfulness that other exercise forms just don’t.
