The Advantages of Yoga...again...
Okay, I had said a few months back that a friend had recently picked up the fitness craze Yoga in his local gym and still till this day insists that he never knew why he thought Yoga to be some girly crap...
Even his Yoga for beginners class every thursday and Saturday is supposedly kicking his butt!
Mind you he lifts weights and does cardio and all that, still...home boy is getting whooped into a whole new approach to being in shape.
Well, like him another guest author James Kronefield discusses the many benefits of Yoga, so take the stage James....
Advantages Of Yoga Exercises by James Kronefield
In a time when fitness and anti-aging were swear words I joined a Hatha group - Hatha means exercise or pose. My teacher was young and vibrant in my eyes though today I realize she was in her early fifties.
It's safe to say Yoga is just part of the answer the rest is in the story I was the girl who wasn't very pretty as they say.
Today while I myself am in my early fifties I often shock people who think I must be in my late thirties. So what is my secret to anti-aging, and finding health? Let's look at how a plain Jane became a beautiful woman.
Many people think you have to be very flexible to gain anything from doing Asana poses though that's not true. It's the form and breathing that vitalize the body, mind and soul.
Mastering each posture is key to achieving strength and having control. Once you accomplish this you can add the breathing or Prana as it is called. Together you have internal circulation and externally your body is also staying young. Just think about it. The skin itself stays elastic even if you're like me not a flexible person even after years of practice.
The breath not only adds oxygen to the blood but increases the flow so that each organ including our skin which is the largest organ of our bodies is receiving plenty of nourishment. The aging process is slowed down and our health potential is higher when we are fit.
So Like her, since I started...ain't no turning my back on Yoga...
the irony is, almost everyday....albeit unknowingly, most of us do perform it, so why not add to or make your very own regimen for physical fitness...it sure won't hurt and could help a whole lot!
