Inflammation is our body’s way of protecting itself from infection, through white blood cells. Some people may create too little or too much inflammation meaning a person can be extremely susceptible to illness or that the body attacks itself. Studies have shown that yoga practice can reduce this inflammation. Adding yoga practice to your routine can even help if you don?t currently suffer from any of these issues. Remember prevention is better than cure.

The exercises you complete in yoga can help with circulation. Many postures push blood from the lower area back to the heart so that they can be freshly oxygenated. As yoga allows more oxygen to enter your cells, it can lead to a reduction in blood clots and decrease your chance of strokes or heart attacks.

Mental Benefits of Yoga

Alongside all these fantastic physical benefits, yoga can also be very helpful to clear your mind and help you think and focus. We live in a world where we are always on the go and busy, meaning that often we are stressed. Yoga has been known to help those who are depressed.

Yoga relies on the use of your body and breathing techniques to calm the body and the mind. Therefore, it can help to release stress and promote relaxation. Spending a few minutes shutting the world out, stretching and breathing can really help to foster a calmness and make you feel more positive. Many yogi?s use yoga to set their intentions; this could be your plan for the day, week or year.

We spend a lot of time in front of screens. This blue light can affect our quality of sleep. Yoga is known to be very relaxing and can help you to fall asleep faster and help you to feel more rested in the morning.

If you suffer with anxiety adding a few minutes of yoga each day may aid you. In yoga practice there is a massive importance placed on being present in the moment. The setting of daily intentions during your yoga practice may really also help with the feelings of anxiety.

Practising yoga will help to improve your focus through meditation. During meditation you will try to shut out the world and focus on your breathing and intentions you set. Allowing you to tune to yourself and be less distracted by your own thoughts. This practice of focus can also help you in other parts of life. People that practice yoga often find that they have better focus and memory.

Conclusion
