Benefits of Yoga

Yeah, yoga is cool. The yoga pants, the essential oils, how flexible and impressive you feel after a class. To top it all off, sweaty instructors telling you to find your space. But yoga is not just some trendy workout to do when you feel like reviving yourself. Yoga has a lot of excellent health benefits too. 

Improves flexibility 

Because who doesn’t want to do a backbend like Elastigirl? 

Helps with blood circulation 

All of the twists and turns in different yoga poses can help your blood circulate through your body more effectively. 

Boosts your immunity

Yoga helps your body drain your lymphatic system which helps you fight off infection. So just sweat it out, man!

Improves muscle strength and tone 

Who doesn’t want to have super toned arms and a great butt?

Makes you happier 

Doing yoga can release serotonin and endorphins, both of which are chemicals in your brain that make you feel happier and more relaxed. So do it for the endorphins!
