The Power of Yoga




Yoga is the practice of physical, mental, and spiritual discipline. It originated from India and the earliest evidence of yoga has been traced back all the way to 3000 B.C. It is practiced in many parts of the world and is very popular amongst women. It is said that yoga can help improve your health, balance, flexibility, fitness, and many other things.

Yoga has benefited a woman named Carolyn LaFleur who was involved in a car accident and while physical therapy and massage therapy helped her hip and neck to recover, it did not make the pain in her head go away. Her headaches did subside however, when she started practicing yoga and she claims that doing yoga has given her strength. Doctors say that yoga can lower your tension and it relaxes the tone of your muscle. It also helps bring down stress levels, which makes arteries relax so there is more blood flow everywhere, so everything becomes better.

While therapy and medication work pretty well to relieve pain and stress, yoga can also help with your health conditions as well. It is often underestimated as a good way of treatment and it can also become an enjoyable method for fitness. If yoga is practiced regularly, it can greatly benefit a person’s well being.
