How old should one be to start yoga?
------------------------------------------------
You can start yoga at any age.
What are the health benefits of practicing yoga?
-------------------------------------------------------------
Some of the benefits of practicing yoga are increased flexibility, stronger muscles and connective tissue, alignment of the vertebrae, toned and rejuvenated internal organs.
In addition, the epidermal, digestive, lymphatic, cardiovascular, and pulmonary systems are purified of toxins and waste matter; the nervous and endocrine systems are balanced and toned; brain cells are nourished and stimulated.
Results of a regular yoga practice include increased mental clarity, emotional stability, and a greater sense of overall wellbeing.
Yoga is one of the 10 most utilized Complementary Medicine methods in US.
Because Yoga operates on so many different levels, it can be an effective therapy for chronic diseases and conditions that do not respond well to conventional treatment methods.
Additionally, a regular yoga practice will sharpen concentration, balance, and composure.
