The Benefits of Yoga

There’s no denying the many benefits of a regular yoga practice, including increased strength and flexibility among many others! Yoga poses are meant to reinforce the muscles around your spine, strengthening your core which improves posture and alleviates back, shoulder, and neck pain. 

Yoga is revitalizing! When more oxygen is carried into your blood and your brain, you feel more energetic and healthy. Apart from the physical benefits, yoga promotes inner peace and puts you at ease, so you can go about your day with a clear, open mind.
