Your kids are crying, the house is a mess, and your cell phone is ringing because your boss needs a project completed today. Stress is all around us. It is important for your overall health to find a way to reduce stress in a healthy manner. We cannot eliminate stressors completely, but managing and releasing it from the body can create a more peaceful life for you. Yoga classes can help.
There are countless studies on the health benefits of exercise. Not only does it increase your metabolism, trim your waistline, and tone your muscles, it also improves your mental health. Yoga is a type of exercise that has been practiced for thousands of years and it is well known for both its physical and mental health benefits.
Yoga is a mind-body practice that helps to quiet the mind and, through postures and controlled breathing, strengthen the body. Some yoga classes integrate meditation into the curriculum. Meditation helps to ease stress and anxiety through deep breathing and a focused mind. Guided meditation through yoga classes is a great way for the beginner to start their journey to overall wellness and stress reduction.
There are many types of yoga classes offered. Hatha yoga is well-known and beneficial in reducing stress and anxiety. Many beginners like the slow flow of the movements. Any type of yoga class, however, will help the body-mind connection. Keep in mind that every person’s body is different and we are all at various levels of fitness. Some postures in yoga may be easy for some and difficult for others. The key is to practice yoga in a patient manner with your body. There are posture modifications and tools that can be utilized to assist you during classes.
