Yoga Boosts Your Physical Health And Your Mental Health

Posted by Modern Movement on April 1st, 2021

One of the all-around yoga practices, yoga Newport NSW  boosts both your physical health and your mental health. Yoga is as much about the body as it is about the mind, and yoga practice, irrespective of the style of yoga you choose, will leave your body feeling strong and your mind feeling rejuvenated. A serious yogi will practice for an hour a day while a new yogi may attend a practice a few times a week, building up strength, learning about the practice, and slowly releasing the benefits.

The benefits of yoga are many. We mentioned physical health and mental health. Yoga is as much about strengthening your muscles as it is about strengthening your mind. Yoga is about balance, peace of mind, healing, mindfulness, and posture! It’s about disconnecting for a short time from the internet, and the outside world, and focusing purely on yourself and your practice.

What is the best kind of yoga

There are a variety of styles of yoga, including but not limited to Hatha, Yin, Vinyasa, Restorative, Ashtanga and Iyengar. Some people enjoy heated yoga. Most yoga studios will offer a variety of yoga’s, with different practitioners leading different classes. Over time you get to learn which yoga you enjoy, and which practitioners you enjoy too. A yoga class should never leave you feeling exhausted, quite the opposite. You should walk out thinking that was the best yoga class ever, and you should leave feeling energised and calm. Yoga, even when it is strong yoga, refreshes and rejuvenates you, but it also calms you down. Yoga is about the breath, and the breath is used to restore our bodies, physically and emotionally.

Yoga heals

It is astonishing how yoga can take you on a journey that is healing. It is in the quieter moments that we sometimes allow ourselves to relax properly and a good yoga class will take you to places of quiet, inner strength, resolution and solitude. It can also take you to a place of emotions, something that people feel about restorative yoga. All the practices are astonishing, each pose is meaningful, and each class, mindful.

Choose the right studio

When it comes to practising yoga, choose the right studio. You might want to join an online class, or you may want to go into the studio. Find a studio that offers both, so you can change between the two if necessary. Find a studio that offers a few different kinds of yoga, and has a few teachers as part of their studio. Your yoga teacher should be accredited and should be continuing her practice, so he or she is constantly learning too. Yoga is an ancient practice and it is one that you do in your own time, at your own pace, without competing with anyone, and one that brings peace and calm. A yoga class should restore you and not exhaust you. The classes at yoga Newport NSW are varied and good for all levels.
