You on Yoga: Benefits of yoga for your mind and body.

Thu, 03 Nov 2011 09:46:00 -0500

Superb Health now has YOGA! We are offering three practices for all levels to help you get back to the BASICS, keep you STRONG, and to calm the mind and RELAX your body. Check out the schedule for more information about class times.

Yoga has been practiced from more than 5,000 years, and most recently gained in immense popularity in the U.S. Yoga is taught in many different styles including vinyasa or vinyasa flow a practice connecting your breath with synchronized movement, Astanga or power yoga a fast-paced intense style of yoga with a set series of postures done in the same order. Iyengar a practice focusing on the alignment of the body through postures (asanas). As well as the recently popular Bikram or hot yoga, a practice in a heated room often around 105 degrees with 60 percent humidity. Other styles include, kundalini, viniyoga, anusara, kripalu, hatha and so many more.

While there are various types of practices the health benefits of a regular practice are all most all the same. Most practices help you gain flexibility through a series of postures or asanas that stretch your muscles. Through these stretches your body releases the build up of lactic acid and helps with pain management, tension, fatigue, and stiffness. In addition to helping to stretch your muscles, yoga also helps to stretch the soft tissue in your body including tendons, and ligaments. Many postures practiced in Vinyasa type yoga or flow like sequence can even help to build strength and balance. Standing postures when held for many long breaths help to build strength in your quads, gluts, hamstrings, and abs. While down dogs, up dogs, and chair pose help you gain strength in your arms, toning your biceps and triceps.

With regular practice, gained flexibility, and strength you will also gain better posture and have a stronger more stable core. While yoga does have many physical benefits for your body it has many mental benefits as well, including de-stressing and relaxing.Through the practice of yogic breathing, which utilizes the entire diaphragm to take full inhales and exhales your body stimulates its relaxation response. Helping you to calm down and find a peaceful place within your mind and body. This breathing can also be used to focus our minds away from our busy thoughts and bring us back into the present moment to help us concentrate and prioritize. Allowing your mind to prioritize the important things first, and listen to what your body needs can help you recenter yourself and get you ready to take on your day.

With every practice your body experiences many biochemical responses as well, that include a decrease in catecholamine, a stress producing hormone found in the adrenal glands. To reducing the amount of dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine which allows your body to feel a sense of calm. This calm when in practice and following gives you the infamous “yoga buzz.” With all the great benefits of yoga, why wouldn’t you get on a mat and get flowing, you’ll be one step closer to a healthier and happier you!
