- Yoga can be an ideal method of warming up/down when taking part in other sports and, more importantly, a great tool for recovery post-injury. If you decide to take up yoga as a tool for injury rehabilitation, then you should seek a Yoga Therapist and consult your doctor beforehand.
When practiced safely and/or with a credible teacher, the risk of injury in yoga is significantly less in comparison to other forms of exercise. In fact, yoga has proven to be beneficial in the healing process of injuries, such as repetitive strain and many others. As injured muscles heal, they can become tight where scar tissue forms, reducing flexibility and restricting movement in the area.
Gentle movement also increases blood flow to the injured area, which carries nutrients and removes toxins to/from the injury site, therefore assisting the healing process more effectively. - Extra
- Most types of yoga are not as effective as traditional forms of cardio \(i\.e\. running, cycling etc\) in terms of calorie-burning. But yoga can increase mindfulness as you become more acutely aware of your own body: people can become more aware of how much they are eating and make better food choices.
Yoga is well-known for its stress reducing advantages, and a relaxed body is a better body: when high levels of the “stress hormone” cortisol are present in the body, this contributes to weight gain—particularly encouraging fat to be stored in the abdominal area.
That's why the cardio benefits and relaxation from a regular yoga practice, in unison with a sensible diet, can effectively aid in weight loss. - Yoga is beneficial for various reasons. It helps improve flexibility, works your core muscles, and it allows you to perform cardio-centric exercises in a way which is not as obviously taxing as other forms of cardio training.
In addition to yoga poses that work your core, such as Plank and Chaturanga, you can target the abdominal muscles to give you a more toned and trim tummy by engaging the core in standing balance poses.
If you want to improve your strength, there isn’t much that will develop upper body strength faster than a regular Ashtanga yoga practice, which consists of lots of planks, press ups \(aka chaturanga dandasana\) and arm balances.
For anyone thinking Ashtanga might not be for them because they can’t do press ups, you will be amazed at how accessible the classes are as a beginner, and with regular practice, you very quickly improve. - If you have depression \(or simply want a mood boost\), some poses seem to be more effective than others, finds Iyengar yoga teacher Patricia Walden, who collaborated with Streeter's team to develop a specific sequence for depression. Backbends, for instance, open up the rib cage and chest, which is helpful for depression because it encourages resilience in people. Other poses can specifically ease symptoms of anxiety, which often goes hand in hand with depression.
- From pumping blood throughout the body to supplying tissues with important nutrients, the health of your heart is an essential component of overall health.
Studies show that yoga may help improve heart health and reduce several risk factors for heart disease.
One study found that participants over 40 years of age who practiced yoga for five years had a lower blood pressure and pulse rate than those who didn’t.
High blood pressure is one of the major causes of heart problems, such as heart attacks and stroke. Lowering your blood pressure can help reduce the risk of these problems.
Some research also suggests that incorporating yoga into a healthy lifestyle could help slow the progression of heart disease.
