A New Hobby: 7 Ways Yoga Will Change Your Life for the Better

December 30, 2020

Yoga That Body & Mind | Style & Life by Susana

Have you been thinking about rolling out the yoga mat? Doing so may just change your life for the better.

Yoga workouts are not only a fun way to move your body, but this popular form of exercise is also very beneficial to your body. Here’s how yoga may improve your life.

🧘 Your Clothes Will Fit Better

Yoga is a great way to lose those extra pounds. Even though it’s not considered an aerobic exercise, yoga will still make you sweat. You’ll burn plenty of calories after a single session.

Even if you have low mobility or joint issues, you can adapt workouts to fit your ability level. After a few months of regular workouts, your clothes will fit better, and you’ll feel even more confident wearing a new pair of womens leggings from Sunia Yoga.

🧘 You’ll Feel Less Stressed

Stress is a huge mental health problem in the United States. In fact,79-percent of Americans report feeling stressed on an occasional or frequent basis.

Yoga, however, can help you feel less stressed. The deep breathing exercises associated with yoga help reduce cortisol in the body. This hormone directly relates to stress levels, and having less of it will make you feel calmer during the day.

🧘 You’ll Get Stronger

Although yoga looks easy to onlookers, the poses and stretches target nearly every muscle in the body. Holding poses isolates and strengthens different sets of muscles.

The effects are similar to weight training, but yoga creates long, lean muscles instead of bulk. Over time, you’ll notice an increase in both strength and endurance. The more time you spend on the mat, the stronger you’ll get.

🧘 Your Mood Will Improve

Yoga has a profound impact on a person’s mood. It can even work to reduce symptoms of anxiety or depression. Yoga teaches self-soothing techniques that may help a person better regulate their mood.

People with depression have lower serotonin levels. This hormone helps people feel happier, and yoga poses help increase serotonin production in the body.

🧘 You’ll Be More Flexible

When was the last time you could touch your toes? Yoga is one of the best ways to improve your flexibility.

Gradually stretching your muscles during each workout will loosen and lengthen your ligaments and tendons. Having an increased range of motion will improve coordination and reduce the risk of injury.

Being more flexible will make you feel younger and more energized.

🧘 You’ll Feel Better

Do you wake up with aches and pains each morning? There’s no reason you should deal with pain all the time. While it’s easy to pop a few pills, they only mask the problem.

Yoga, however, can help ease different types of pain. It’s beneficial to those suffering from pain due to cancer, multiple sclerosis, or arthritis. The poses improve body alignment and may reduce joint pressure. Although it’s not a cure, yoga can make you feel better.

🧘 You’ll Breathe Better

Breathing is a primary focus in yoga. It teaches people how to breathe slower and deeper. This helpful technique improves lung function and increases the amount of oxygen in the body.

Better breathing can even help regulate your heart rate. The deeper you breathe, the more relaxed and calm you’ll feel.

Yoga Does a Body Good

Finding time to practice yoga each time will have a profound impact on your body and mind. Although the poses may seem simple at first glance, yoga will challenge your body in ways you never imagined possible.

However, the benefits of the triangle pose and downward-facing dog are worth the effort.

Namaste.

It's been a long time since I did an outfit shot & It's been a long time since I did an outfit shot & many of you know I suffer terribly from severe anxiety & depression. And for the past year, my self-esteem, self-confidence, self-belief has bungee jumped severely way way WAY downnnnnnnn low...!

I am at a constant inner war battle within myself, and my self worth. But today is the first step forward doing an outfit shot. 

Do I like this photo or outfit? Meh! 🤔 I am showing me in this present moment. A vulnerable, fragile and insecure me but one who is slowly, desperately: trying. And by doing that, I'm actually empowering my spirit & soul. By TRYING. I'm not, and will not allow my mental health issues to define, me. 

So, once upon a time I only wanted to show only the good photos that I liked to be shown on my blog/social media... I was afraid to show (reveal) my human flaws, my icky shots when I felt shitty, ugly, old(er), bloated, fragile (mental health) moments. Not anymore.

Today I make a conscious decision to show what the day is really like for me. In all its beauty: the good, the bad and the (OMG what was she thinking) ugly; but in all its glory. Its a positive day.

Outfit: turtle neck jumper from Kmart Australia , cargo tartan pants & knee high boots from PrettyLittleThing.com, handbag from Salvos Stores
