Happy international yoga day 🧘♀️
Some benefits of yoga beyond the mat are-
•Better body image- Focusing inward during yoga helps you be more satisfied with your body and less critical of it.
•Heart benefits- Yoga can help lower blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar all of which are good for your heart and blood vessels.
•Overall fitness- Practicing yoga a couple times a week increases muscle strength and flexibility, boosts endurance and tunes up your heart, lungs and blood vessels.
•Weight control- Mindfulness developed through yoga can make you sensitive to cues of hunger and fullness, which help you develop a more positive relationship with food.
•Mindful Eating- Being more aware of how your body feels carries over to mealtimes as you savor each bite or sip and notice how food smells, feels and tastes in your mouth.
