We all have different reasons for doing yoga ; but there are many good reasons to keep the practice up.
I read an article on Psychology Today on the benefits of doing yoga. A brief summary is below...
"More than 90% of people who come to yoga do so for physical exercise, improved health, or stress management, but for most people, their primary reason for doing yoga will change. One study found that two-thirds of yoga students and 85% of yoga teachers have a change of heart regarding why they practice yoga—most often changing to spirituality or self-actualization, a sense of fulfilling their potential. The practice of yoga offers far more than physical postures and headstands—there is self-reflection, the practice of kindness and compassion, and continued growth and awareness of yourself and others."
With the festive season upon us and distractions abound,pause for a moment and reflect on these reasons to help you stick at it through the season !! Read on more from the Psychology Today article Why does anyone do yoga, anyway? ...
