Yoga is one of those truly unique phenomenons that can improve your life drastically. The reason for this is that it somehow synchronizes the mind, body, and soul in such a way that doesn’t feel like overexertion. Sure, there are certain yoga poses that take a while to master, but nothing so egregious that you’ll feel like you never want to do it again. Let’s dive into why yoga is truly a godsend in the world of exercise and mental health.

Flexibility

A flexible body is a flexible mind, and if that sounds corny, we’re glad it does. Indeed, yoga requires you to push the limits of what you thought your body was capable of doing, and once you feel yourself overcoming certain bodily obstacles, you learn that you might just be able to overcome similar obstacles in your own mind.

The Zen Workout

The thing about yoga is that it’s kind of a workout, but also not really. It’s not super intense such as a rigorous run or a set of push-ups. It may force you to break a sweat, but it’s also zen, meditative, and relaxing. In that sense, it’s a great option for those who want to dip their toes into feeling good physically, but aren’t ready to go full workout just yet.
