We all have a tendency to gravitate towards what we are good at and avoid activities that reveal our pitfalls. For me, that means avoiding yoga and flexibility work! 😅
•
Despite my not-so-flexible body, I have incorporated yoga as an integral part of my daily routine. It has SUBSTANTIALLY improved several aspects of my mental & physical well-being. 🧘🏽‍♂️🧠 •
•
Countless studies over the past 4 decades have shown yoga to improve various aspects of physical/mental health: ✔️Decreased stress, depression, chronic pain, and anxiety ✔️Increased strength, blood flow, flexibility, digestion, sleep quality, balance, stamina, mental clarity, and detoxification •
•
Yoga is especially essential for older folks since balance has been shown to be the #1 parameter associated with elderly falls. ⚖️
•
Regardless of your age, yoga improves functional everyday movements that enable you to perform better at everything you do! 🧘🏻‍♀️🧘🏼‍♂️
•
Get outdoors and do yoga barefoot in the sun for added health benefits! ☀️🌄
•
•
Who else has experienced benefits from yoga? 🙋 🙋🏽‍♂️
