If you have taken yoga classes already, then you probably have discovered the physical benefits, such as: improved mobility, flexibility, strength, balance, breathing, etc. It can also help alleviate chronic pain, stiffness, and tension.

This week I wanted to highlight the less-obvious - but equally important - benefits that a regular yoga practice can provide.

These are from the above graphic:

Sense of Community - a shared experience that can uplift everyone
Personal Growth - practice of self-compassion helps us connect to ourselves
Mindful Awareness - tune into your own thoughts and feelings

And here are a few more:

Relief from mental fatigue (aka busy brain)
Emotional steadiness, to deal with the ups and downs of life
Sense of overall wellness as you move about your world

This is not a complete list, just what comes to mind. Can you think of more?

I hope that you can practice yoga with me, whether in person or online.

Be Well,

Eva
