Benefits of Yoga

Yoga feels good. It's as simple as that.

There are two basic reasons to get on your mat; one is that you’re happy and you want to celebrate and enjoy, and the other is maybe you’re not feeling so great, and you want to remember what it’s like to feel alive and well.

Yoga benefits the whole being: body, mind and spirit. It rejuvinates every system in the body. It is healing in so many ways, and has been credited with myriad positive effects including lowering risk of heart disease. The following benefits are a sampling of a long list of why yoga is good for you.
