There are many health benefits to yoga that may interest you.
· Secret weapon against belly fat (a high-health risk):
Studies show that yoga lowers levels of stress hormones like cortisol and increases insulin sensitivity — a signal to your body to burn fat as fuel rather than store it.
· Help you curb emotional eating:
Yoga relieves stress, so you may be less likely to mindlessly stuff yourself
· Sleep like a baby:
An Indian study found that daily practice may increase levels of the brain's sedative, melatonin, which decreases as you age.
· Keep your hips healthy:
Like stretching, yoga helps keep your muscles supple and flexible, and your body less prone to injury.
And if these benefits aren’t enough to interest you, how about the fact that, yoga enhances your experience with other forms of exercise and can help improve sports performance. Or if you’ve been trying to start an exercise routine, but can’t seem to get it going, this could be just what you need.
I hope you found this information helpful and at least a little bit intriguing.
If you cannot attend a public class, but would like to celebrate yoga month with a personal session, small group party, or a meditation session, please call me. I would love to be a part of it!
Namaste
