Yoga may boost immunity

Chronic stress negatively effects your immune system (21Trusted Source).

When your immunity is compromised, you’re more susceptible to illness. However, as discussed earlier, yoga is considered a scientifically backed alternative treatment for stress.

The research is still evolving, but some studies have found a distinct link between practicing yoga (especially consistently over the long term) and better immune system functioning.

Yoga may improve quality of life

The World Health Organization defines quality of life (QOL) as “an individual’s perception of their position in life in the context of the culture and value systems in which they live and in relation to their goals, expectations, standards and concerns” (18Trusted Source).

Some factors that affect QOL are relationships, creativity, learning opportunities, health, and material comforts.

For decades, researchers have viewed QOL as an important predictor of people’s longevity and patients’ likelihood of improvement when treated for a chronic illness or injury (19Trusted Source).

Yoga will likely increase your strength
While most people associate yoga with stretching and flexibility, some types of yoga classes can also be considered strength-building. It just depends on the class level, approach, and teacher. This makes yoga asana a multimodal form of exercise (4Trusted Source).

Yoga’s effectiveness at building strength has been studied in several specific contexts — for instance, as it pertains to people with breast cancer, older adults, and children (4Trusted Source, 12, 13Trusted Source).Another study conducted on air force personnel found yoga to be an effective strength-building practice across many age groups of healthy participants (14Trusted Source).

oga helps with stress relief

The American Psychological Association recently shared that 84% of American adults are feeling the impact of prolonged stress .

So, it makes sense that the second most cited reason people selected as to why they do yoga was to relieve stress. Thankfully, the science supports that yoga, and especially asana, is excellent at reducing stress

सर,
हर वो चीज जो आसानी से समझ आ जाए उसकी सफलता को कोई नहीं रोक सकता।
आज योग की परिभाषा को कठीन बना कर जनता में प्रस्तुत किया जा रहा है,लोग यह तो मानते हैं कि योग शरीर के लिए आवशक है,किंतु उसे सीखना होगा।
मेरा मानना है, कि इंसान अपने शरीर को किसी भी प्रकार चलायमान रखे वही योग है।
इंसान अपने क्रिया कलाप सामान्य व पुराने तरीके से करे वह योग बन जाता है।
जैसे कुएं या नल से पानी खींच कर नहाना,
पेड़ से दातून तोड़ कर दांत साफ करना,खेलना कूदना आदि।
मेरा आपसे निवेदन है कि बेसिक स्तर से ही खेल को अनिवार्य विषय बना दो।
जो स्वतः योग में परिवार्तित हो जायेगा।
प्रणाम सर जी
