The Benefits of Yoga and Meditation

The Benefits of Yoga and Meditation

There are literally ENDLESS benefits from incorporating a yoga and meditative practice in to your life.
Some are standard benefits, and others are a little more far fetched. Scientific research is constantly being done on the benefits of yoga and meditation, but a lot of the time the more extreme findings (such as curing cancer and lengthening the life expectancy etc.) are still being explored.
however, there are a bunch of more obvious benefits of yoga and meditation, here are just a few of my favourites:
 
  • Healthy and happy body, mind and soul.
  • Strengthens body, mind and soul
  • Increases flexibility (physically, mentally, emotionally etc.)
  • Strengthens connection to centre self and soul
  • Relieves stress and anxiety
  • Improves heart function and health
  • Boosts your mood
  • Increases overall wellness
  • Improves mental clarity
  • Improves memory and focus
  • Assists in regulation of mood and anxiety disorders
  • Calms the breath
  • Quiets the mind
  • Improves decision making skills
  • General psychological wellbeing
  • Brings a sense of peace and ease
  • Improves balance
  • Tones the body
  • Improves joint mobility
  • Helps with muscle development and memory skills
  • Strengthens the immune system
  • Promotes deeper sleep
  • Improves empathy and positive relationships (both with ourselves and others)
  • Forsters creativity
  • Cultivates patience
  • Improves learning and self awareness
So, just in case you needed ANOTHER reason to get on your mat and explore your own yoga and/or meditation practice, I have you covered!
You're welcome!

Love and light,
