Balance Benefits of Yoga

When you are imbalanced in your body, there can be a lot of negative consequences.  It can lead to or directly cause pain and discomfort in your body, which in turn causes stress, externally as well as internally.  Increasing your balance through Yoga can relieve you of stress and even out the strength throughout your whole body, making you even stronger and more flexible and coordinated overall.  Imbalance can also lead to injury, especially as you age.  The physical benefits achieved through Yoga may or may not be provided by other forms of exercise that are commonly practiced in the world today.  It is the internal, spiritual benefits of Yoga that are compelling and that really make it a special exercise.  Balance in Yoga is as much about the balance between your separate muscles, thoughts and feelings as it is about the balance between your physical, mental and emotional beings as a whole, and the relationships between them. Balance is key to any type of relationship and a good relationship between your own major elements is essential to ultimate personal satisfaction, understanding and ability to apply to life.

  1. This form of yoga is centered on a man's intelligence and is also called yoga of the mind. It gives utmost importance to learning and wisdom and not so much to physical aspects.
