The benefits of yoga

Looking for a good reason to try yoga?

Well, there are hundreds of benefits that come with practising this ancient art – regardless of your age or fitness level.

One of yoga’s greatest physical benefits is increased flexibility. You might not be able to touch your toes at the start of your first class, but over time you feel your body begin to loosen and those seemingly impossible poses will become second nature.

Other physical benefits of yoga include:

Increased muscle strength and flexibility
Stronger joints
Better posture
Greater bone health
Improved circulation
Better posture

As well as its many physical benefits, yoga is also great for the mind. Studies have shown that yoga increases serotonin and can help reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression.

Yoga can also help to:

Improve focus, memory and reaction times
Relax and re-energise
Boost your self-esteem and confidence
Cultivate your inner strength
Increase self-awareness and encourage self-care

Vinyasa yoga

Vinyasa yoga is what you might call a ‘dynamic’ form of yoga, featuring a sequence of classic poses that are executed with energy and enthusiasm.

Vinyasa yoga can be challenging, but we encourage you to practice at your own pace and the long-term benefits are incredible.
